About The Position

The Aerospace Systems Group with the Defense System Sector at Leidos currently has an opening for a Senior Software Engineer supporting the RF Engineering portfolio in Huntsville, AL. This is an exciting opportunity to use your experience in software development and software maintenance for advanced RF systems that provide critical information to customers.

Duties include software requirements analysis, analysis of hardware compatibility, development of software products and tools used for design, development and maintenance of infrastructure, and platforms. At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.” If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in. Original Posting: January 13, 2026 For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
