Entry Level Software Tester

Leidos • Lawton, OK

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Leidos is seeking a Software Tester to work with the CEMA (Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities) department. Our products are responsible for training the warfighter to recognize, identify and respond to real world CEMA attacks on their systems that might not otherwise be seen until they’re on the battlefield. Our team has an additional product responsible for alerting our varied array of customers of potential cyber and EW attacks by creative adversaries highly skilled at attacking. With that problem set in mind, our products need to be tested by equally creative minds that enjoy digging, automating, and generally learning all they can do to do those exact things the adversaries would. This position is entry level, making an extensive skill set not required for consideration. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who is willing to learn and grow into this position. Our CEMA team is comprised of both red and blue: hackers, programmers, mathematicians, even physicists, so knowledge is easily gleaned in our team for those willing to ask. Problem solving, troubleshooting, and a desire to break things for good reasons will be our focus for consideration.
