Job Title: Senior Graphics Software Developer
Exciting Opportunity Awaits!
Step into a dynamic role where your skills will help shape the future of naval simulation, training, and analysis at Leidos' High Fidelity Simulation Business Area. We are not just developing software; we're revolutionizing operational capabilities for the U.S. Navy. Join us, and your expertise will play a crucial role in advancing naval technologies.
Why Leidos Stands Out
This is not an ordinary tech job. At Leidos, every project is a chance to innovate. As a Senior Graphics Software Developer, you'll be at the leading edge of technology, working on critical training systems like the CIAT - Combined Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Trainer. You will create real-time, three-dimensional graphics systems including simulations for submarine periscopes, submarine bridges, and ship weapons. This cutting-edge visual simulation will be utilized across various naval training environments. All software is developed in a Linux setting, primarily using C++ and OpenGL, along with the Unreal graphics engine and other software packages.
Make a Real-World Impact
Your contributions will directly influence naval operations. You will have the unique opportunity to travel to key locations like Pearl Harbor, San Diego, and Norfolk, witnessing firsthand the impact of your work on naval readiness.
Are You the Innovator We're Looking For?
Do you have an advanced degree or ongoing education in computer science, or a solid foundation in advanced mathematics or physics? Ideal candidates bring expertise in areas such as cluster computing, signal processing, Kubernetes, numerical simulation, multi-threading, GPUs, data visualization, underwater acoustic modeling, or sonar systems.
