Today, Advanced Warfare Technology (AWT) is a growing enterprise - protecting the warfighter and our national security against ever-adapting threats. Our AWT division currently has an exciting opportunity for an Algorithm Software Engineer to perform design, development, and hardware/software integration in San Diego, CA for the Advanced Warfare Technology Division. Leidos is a DOD leader in electronic design and chiplet manufacture. Our division primarily focuses on research & development and advanced prototyping, transforming state-of-the-art processing algorithms into real-time software systems. Projects involve small multi-disciplinary teams of engineers working together in spiral or agile development environments to meet aggressive customer schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations. Leidos utilizes its proprietary design methodology for hardware software co-design to manufacture custom SoC and IP for high performance applications. In this role, the Algorithm Software Engineer will develop and deploy cutting edge signal processing applications to improve the capabilities of the warfighter in modern electronic warfare environments. This role requires understanding signal processing algorithms and deploying them to massively parallelized pipelines executed to meet extreme real-time requirements on Leidos SoCs. The Algorithm Software Engineer is responsible for interfacing with a diverse set of engineers from signal processing, embedded, and RF teams. Join a team of experts in implementing high-performance signal processing on custom system-on-chip (SoC) hardware and building the tools that enable analysis, rapid prototyping, and deployment of cutting-edge algorithms. The successful candidate will be responsible for: Contributing to design and development of advanced systems as a part of multi-disciplinary teams. These teams are made up of other software team members and subject matter experts from the areas of systems engineering, hardware, firmware, RF front end design, and signal processing. Designing, implementing, and testing C applications in a real-time environment Understanding and analyzing signal processing algorithms developed in MATLAB Porting signal processing algorithms from MATLAB, Python, or C++ to C in a multi-core environment on Leidos SoCs Optimizing C code for DSP applications (i.e. leveraging SIMD, VLIW, or hardware accelerators) and parallel processing to achieve real-time requirements Developing Hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) tests to validate signal processing algorithms Clearly communicating technical details of software to internal and external engineers Supporting system field testing and collection events, usually about a week in duration once or twice a year At Leidos we value passion for learning. If you believe you have what it takes to succeed in this role and are eager to learn, we encourage you to apply.
