Advance the future of Electronic Warfare.\nAdversary emitters adapt faster than fielded systems can keep up. Waveforms are agile, spectrum is congested, and the signals that matter are often buried in noise, interference, and clutter. Leidos’ Electronic Warfare Division builds the signal collection, processing, and dissemination systems that pull actionable information out of that environment, in support of the warfighter and national security.\nWe’re looking for a Senior Signal Processing Engineer who wants to work on these problems at the algorithm level, then take solutions from simulation to the lab to the field. You’ll do more than apply existing solutions: you’ll develop innovative algorithms and help shape the next generation of EW capabilities.\nWhat you’ll do\nDevelop novel algorithms for extracting information from signal sensors, in both time-series and spectral domains\nBuild performance simulations and validate results against synthetic and real collected data\nLead lab-based and field testing, and see your work run on real hardware and real signals\nServe as technical team lead on multi-disciplinary teams, setting technical direction across one or more projects\nShape what we pursue next by developing technical solutions and new ideas for capture efforts such as BAAs and RFPs\nBrief results to your team, leadership, and government customers, and build direct relationships with the people who use what you build\nBasic qualifications\nU.S. citizenship with an active Secret clearance and the ability to obtain a TS/SCI clearance\nBachelor’s degree with 12+ years of relevant experience, or Master’s degree with 10+ years\nProficiency with tools such as MATLAB, Python, Linux, Mathematica, and Simulink, and languages such as C/C++ or Java\nStrong foundation in digital filtering, spectral estimation, detection and estimation theory, linear algebra, and stochastic processes\nExperience in EW, SIGINT, and/or radar systems\nDemonstrated success leading small multidisciplinary technical teams or projects\nStrong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively\nPreferred qualifications\nPhD in a relevant technical discipline\nExperience in an R&D environment\nExperience supporting business development and capture, including technical proposals and white papers\nWhy Leidos\nChallenging problems, advanced technology, and real-world impact. You’ll apply your expertise to meaningful national security challenges while growing as an engineer and technical leader.\n4+ weeks of paid time off and 11 paid holidays\n401(k) with a 6% company match and immediate vesting\nFlexible schedules\nEmployee Stock Purchase Plan\nTechnical upskilling and professional development\nEducation and training support\nPaid parental leave\nReady to make your mark in Electronic Warfare?\nIf you’re energized by difficult technical challenges and want to help shape the future of EW, we want to hear from you.\nNOTE: for this position the salary range will be $180,000 - $270,000 for qualified candidates with an active clearance and the ability to obtain a TS/SCI clearance. Must be able to work onsite in our Arlington, VA or San Diego, CA offices.\nNKE\nElectronicWarfare\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail.
