Full-time • Mid Level
Huntsville, AL
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services

The Guidance, Navigation, Control, and Autonomy Department of the Leidos Innovation Center develops and deploys cutting edge autonomy and alternative navigation systems for customers who can't rely on GPS alone, and we need your help in the Rocket City (Huntsville, AL)! In this position you'll be working on a mix of analytical and hands-on tasks including algorithm development, analysis, simulation, and field testing of autonomous navigation systems. Your group primarily supports research and development as well as advanced prototyping for customers including DARPA, NASA, Air Force Research Laboratory, Office of Naval Research, and the Army CCDC Aviation and Missile Center. These customers need to get our advanced technology into the field! You'll be a part of more than one small team of engineers (typically 3-5) working together in spiral or agile development environments to meet aggressive customer schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations of advanced capabilities. You'll get to go demo your work in the field in front the customer! Are you excited about making advanced technologies work in the real world? Then we want you on our team!

  • Develop, integrate, and analyze navigation fusion algorithms, including Extended Kalman Filters, Unscented Kalman Filters, and Particle Filters.
  • Develop, integrate, and analyze computer vision techniques (including feature extraction, feature matching, optical flow, visual odometry, and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) functions).
  • Develop and utilize simulation testbeds to support algorithm testing and assessment.
  • Travel with your team to demo your system to the customer on a variety of platforms, including aircraft, ground vehicles, pedestrians, and naval ships.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent with 4+ years of relevant experience or Masters in above mentioned technical domain with 2+ years of experience, or Ph.D. in technical domain.
  • Must be a US Citizen.
  • Must be willing and able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance (no clearance required to start in role).
  • 4+ years of experience programming in MATLAB.
  • Graduate coursework in/ or 2+ years of on the job experience with System Dynamics and Controls theory (e.g. PID Control, State Space Control, etc.).
  • Experience with either sensor fusion/estimation algorithms (e.g. Kalman Filters, Particles Filters, or Factor Graphs), or with computer vision algorithms (for instance openCV).
  • Experience with C++ and/or Python.
  • Masters/Ph.D. preferred.
  • Experience working with various sensor types (Inertial Measurement Units, GPS, cameras, LiDAR, etc.).
  • Experience with the Robot Operating System (ROS) and the OpenCV computer vision library.
  • Experience with interface communication standards / protocols including RS232, RS422, TCP/IP, and UDP to communicate with various sensors.
  • Experience with autonomous system development through robotics competitions.
  • Experience with the Linux operating environment.
  • Experience using version control tools (GIT, Subversion, etc.).
  • Experience with AI/Machine Learning for computer vision or robotics applications.
