Job description

The Contested Autonomy & Navigation Branch, part of Leidos' Non-Kinetic Effects Business Area, provides cutting-edge navigation technology for customers who can't rely on GPS alone, and we need your help! We're looking for a Robotics Navigation Engineer to join our team 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. We perform research, development, and advanced prototyping for DARPA, NASA, Air Force Research Laboratory, Office of Naval Research, and Army Combat Capabilities Development Command engineering centers. These customers need to get our advanced technology into the field! You'll work with other engineers in small teams using spiral or agile development to meet aggressive schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations.

Are you excited about making advanced technologies work in the real world? Then we want you on our team! For more information about the work we do, please visit: https://www.leidos.com/products/assured-positioning-navigation-and-timing
