This position is responsible for integrating and validating multiple sensor types-including radar, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR), electronic warfare (EW), LiDAR, acoustic detection, access control, and supporting communications technologies-into a unified operational environment. The Sensor Integration Engineer works closely with the Lead Systems Engineer, Software & Platform Engineering Lead, Field Operations Lead, Cyber/OT Engineer, and subcontractor technical teams to ensure all sensing technologies operate as an integrated layered protection ecosystem within an active Army operational environment. Primary Responsibilities * Integrate force protection sensors into the unified operational architecture. * Configure and validate radar, EO/IR, LiDAR, acoustic, electronic warfare, and access control technologies. * Support sensor-to-COP integration and data fusion activities. * Validate interoperability between Government-furnished, Leidos, and teammate-provided systems. * Configure sensor interfaces, communications paths, and operational parameters. * Support API and interface integration activities. * Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) as required. * Coordinate sensor configuration with software and systems engineering teams. * Conduct field integration testing and operational validation. * Perform sensor calibration and performance optimization. * Support end-to-end operational workflow validation. * Participate in Operational Readiness Reviews (ORRs) and Government demonstrations. * Validate sensor performance against operational scenarios and mission requirements. * Support installation and activation of sensing systems. * Assist the Field Operations Lead during deployment activities. * Troubleshoot integration and interoperability issues in the field. * Coordinate with field service personnel on equipment installation and configuration. * Ensure sensor integration supports layered force protection concepts. * Support detection, tracking, classification, and alerting workflows. * Validate cross-cueing and multi-sensor correlation capabilities. * Optimize sensor performance to reduce false alarms and improve operational awareness. * Diagnose integration and sensor performance issues. * Perform root cause analysis of hardware and software interface problems. * Coordinate corrective actions with engineering teams and OEMs. * Support rapid restoration of operational capability. * Identify technical integration risks. * Recommend mitigation strategies for interoperability and performance issues. * Support technical risk reviews and corrective action planning. * Maintain awareness of critical path integration activities. ## Related Videos - [Robots 2.0: When artificial intelligence meets steel](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1452-robots-2-0-when-artificial-intelligence-meets-steel) - [Code to Road in < 12 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1082-code-to-road-in-12-hours) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Data: The Deciding Factor in AI Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100310-data-the-deciding-factor-in-ai-success) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
