Senior Hardware/Software Design Engineer (HSDE-3)

Leidos•Annapolis Junction, MD

About The Position

Leidos has a new and exciting opportunity for a Senior Hardware/Software Design Engineer in our Intelligence Sector's Cyber & Analytics Business Area (CABA). Our talented team is at the forefront in Security Engineering, Computer Network Operations (CNO), Mission Software, Analytical Methods and Modeling, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and Cryptographic Key Management. Our LOE program provides our customer's Signals Analysis organization with the best possible solutions for their mission needs. We achieve this through rapid prototyping, new development, and advanced technology research. From leading-edge visualizations to analytic development, we're always pushing the boundaries to find new and better data sources and tradecraft to answer intelligence questions. With a focus on collaboration and a fast-paced environment, our prototype development program is the ideal place to grow your skills and make a real impact. Seeking an experienced senior HW/SW Design Engineer to join a small team to design, develop, construct, and test electronic hardware (FPGA) and software processing components for subsystems supporting RF communication and collection systems. This position requires expertise in FPGA development, digital signal processing implementation, and software-hardware integration to support mission critical requirements. The contractor will lead technical design efforts, implement DSP algorithms and associated technical components in FPGA hardware, integrate with existing Linux code bases, bridge FPGA to software stack connection, plus document those efforts. This role combines hardware design responsibilities (FPGA RTL development, timing closure, resource optimization) with software development (integration code, system-level software) to deliver complete subsystem solutions.
