Leidos hiring for Signals Software Engineer jobs in Aurora, CO, US

Description

Are you seeking a new and challenging position supporting a complex Program for the Warfighter? Well, look no further! This is an exciting time to contribute to a mission-critical program with lasting impactful results. Leidos is currently looking to add a Signal Software Engineer (SSWE-2) to a growing task. The SSWE will translate system requirements into software requirements, perform software design, and implement software applications and features in an agile environment.  The Signals Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances signal processing software (e.g. detectors, demodulators, protocol processors). Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results. Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Government Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.

Primary Responsibilities

• Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements
• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features
• Debug existing software and correct defects
• Describe various signal processing techniques
• Identify various digital modulation techniques
• Write software using C, C++, Java
• Functional understanding of the Linux operating system
• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments
• Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Develop/implement algorithms to meet system performance and functional standards
• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components
• Write/review software and system documentation
• Develop software solutions, confer with users or system engineers
• Analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes
• Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its performance
• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design
• Use signal processing algorithms to convert a signals
• Design signal processing software based on sparse documentation
• Identify the source of problems in a RF processing system
