Leidos is looking for an Uncrewed Systems Airborne Software Engineer to help design and develop flight and mission software for tactical strike systems, sensors, uncrewed air systems (UAS), and counter UAS solutions.
Requirements
- A strong competency in software development in either C, C++, Rust, Java, or Python programming languages.
- Working knowledge of inter-process communication, multithreaded programming, and memory management.
- Experience developing software that uses one or more interoperability standards for UAS (e.g., NATO STANAG 4586, Open Mission Systems (OMS), U.S. Army Interoperability Profile (IOP), Link16, or MAVLink).
- Experience developing software that uses one or more messaging technologies for distributed software (e.g., ZeroMQ, Data Distribution Service, ActiveMQ, Artemis, Kafka, RocketMQ, RabbitMQ, EMQX, or Azure SB).
