Description
Join Our Innovative Team at Leidos!
Entry Level Software Developer
Ready to break away from the ordinary and dive into an extraordinary career? At Leidos' High Fidelity Simulation Business Area, we’re not just building systems—we’re revolutionizing the future of naval simulation, training, and analysis for the US Navy. Imagine being part of a team where your work directly redefines naval capabilities. That’s the Leidos experience.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
Forget the cookie-cutter corporate gig. Here, every day is a new adventure. You’ll be at the cutting edge, working with state-of-the-art tech to shape naval training systems like CIAT - Combined Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Trainer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPJKsFhBp30) . As a Software Engineer, you’ll develop real-time software on Linux using C and Java, diving deep into all phases of the development process, using the best available tools and modern architectures.
Your Impact
Your work won’t just sit on a shelf. It’ll be front and center, shaping the trajectory of naval operations. Plus, you’ll get the chance to travel to strategic locations like Pearl Harbor, San Diego, and Norfolk, immersing yourself in the real-world impact of your creations.
We’re Looking for Innovators Like You
Have an advanced degree or continuing education in computer science? Maybe you have a knack for advanced math or physics? Perfect. If you’re a whiz with cluster computing, signal processing, Kubernetes, numerical simulation, multi-threading, GPUs, data visualization, underwater acoustic modeling, or sonar systems, you’re exactly who we need.
What’s in It for You?
Ready to make waves in your career? At Leidos, we don’t just offer jobs—we offer a chance to drive innovation and make a tangible difference. Be part of something bigger. Join Leidos and embark on a career that’s anything but traditional.
Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.
We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”
