The Maritime Systems Division of Leidos is seeking an experienced software/firmware engineer with experience in software architecture, design, implementation, and integration of real-time systems. We are seeking a flexible engineer with experience implementing software development for Field Programmable Gate Arrays, Digital Signal Processors, workstation, virtual machines, and dedicated processor cards. The position will be primarily responsible for the modification of existing firmware as well as the creation of new firmware. A successful candidate will have experience developing in VHDL and C++ in a real-time system. Experience with continuous integration / continuous deployment pipelines and other programming languages is beneficial. The candidate should work well in a collaborative environment, understand Agile development methodologies, and seek to identify and champion both technical and process innovations. The C4I Prototype is a new product that is rapidly maturing and nearing readiness for deployment. The program provides for the deployment, monitoring, and communications of a buoy that includes custom hardware implementing a software defined radio. The ability to design and implement VHDL firmware is required to meet key mission objectives. Tasking and responsibilities will vary depending on project objectives and may extend to programs beyond the C4I Prototype.
