Senior Navigation Systems Engineer

The Contested Autonomy & Navigation Branch of the Leidos Innovations Center provides cutting-edge navigation for customers who can’t rely on GPS alone, and we need your help in the Rocket City (Huntsville, AL)! This position offers both analytic and hands-on tasks, including development, simulation, analysis, and field testing of navigation algorithms.

Requirements

• Perform modeling, simulation, and analysis of a navigation system as part of a broader system simulation.
• Conduct simulation trade studies to inform selection of navigation hardware meeting system requirements.
• Lead the design of new algorithms and transition existing Leidos algorithms to produce software enabling accurate, real-time GPS-denied navigation.
• Use and apply multiple sensor fusion algorithms, including extended Kalman filters, unscented Kalman filters, particle filters, and factor graphs.
• Fuse simulated and real-world sensor inputs from inertial sensors, GPS, altimeters, cameras, altimeters, and other aiding sensors.
• Work within a team of engineers across disciplines to design innovative navigation systems that are often constrained by conflicting factors, including accuracy, operating environment, and cost.
• Travel individually and with a team to coordinate with teammates and customers across a large program; travel will typically last no more than a week at a time.
• Present techniques, solutions, and results to the team and to customers.

Benefits

• Paid time off
• 401k matching
• Retirement plan
