n The Undersea Systems Division (USD) at Leidos is seeking a Software Engineer to join a fast-paced, highly collaborative team developing and rapidly prototyping advanced ocean technologies. In this role, you will work closely with a multidisciplinary group of engineers to design custom software tools, integrate new technologies, and support hands-on testing of mission-critical sensor systems. Our projects span the full development lifecycle-from concept exploration and iterative design to lab evaluation and at-sea demonstrations.\n \n This role is performed fully on-site at NIWC PAC Bayside in San Diego, CA, and follows a 9/80B schedule aligned with customer operations.\n \n \nPrimary Responsibilities\n \n \n

• Lead the development and maintenance of software tools that support testing and evaluation of mission-critical undersea sensor systems.\n
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to design, integrate, and assess new and emerging sensor technologies.\n
• Identify opportunities to adopt and integrate new technologies that improve software development workflows, testing capabilities, and automation.\n
• Support laboratory and field testing of deliverable systems, including troubleshooting, validation, and data analysis.\n
• Conduct periodic at-sea testing aboard small vessels and assist with post-processing and interpretation of collected data.\n
