Modeling & Simulation Engineer/Analyst/Developer

at  Leidos

Description
Leidos Defense Systems is looking for a Junior-to-Mid Level Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Engineer/Analyst/Software Developer for M&S efforts within the Sensor Systems Analysis and Engineering Department (SSA&E). You will join a diverse team of junior-to-senior software developers, engineers, and scientists to help create unique solutions for complex problems.
Our team solves important problems that make a difference and support our customers in the current and future defense of our nation; primarily in the areas of sensor integration, testing, characterization, modeling, simulation, data analysis, and algorithm development for electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) and other sensor systems including radar and acoustics.
The ideal candidate will also demonstrate experience in and/or enthusiasm toward developing a broader technical capability to support overlapping engineering and scientific disciplines with but a particular focus on solving problems that arise in M&S. Candidate will eventually be expected to support multiple tasks in parallel, productively contribute in a team environment, and communicate effectively to management, coworkers, and customers.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Candidate must possess at least a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in software engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics, or an equivalent engineering or science degree with relevant experience.
2-4 years of experience in a related field.
Must possess and be able to maintain a Final Secret Clearance or meet the eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.
Must be a resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville – North Alabama, AL, area.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
