Position Description

Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is seeking a talented Computer Engineer to join a diverse, highly skilled team to create unique solutions for complex problems in security engineering and cyber domains. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, Dynetics provides cost-effective intelligence, engineering, scientific and IT solutions.

The Computer Engineer will promote reverse-engineering and testing of foreign infrared seekers. This work includes developing software and hardware solutions to integrate foreign weapons into a Hardware-in-the-Loop environment. The intention of this development is to assess threat capabilities and vulnerabilities against U.S. systems that oppose it.

Tasks will include developing real-time software models in C++ and NVIDIA CUDA environments to simulate analog and digital missile subsystems, implementing parallelizable algorithms that meet real-time constraints, and troubleshooting hardware test benches. Candidates will work closely with software and hardware reverse-engineering teams to comprehend missile tracking, guidance, and counter-countermeasure algorithms for creation of accurate models. Following development and integration, performance of custom solutions will be validated against actual threat hardware. Once complete, efforts will continue toward developing countermeasures for the threat system, in order to ensure its defeat in combat.

Basic Qualifications

• Candidate will possess a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institute with a 3.3 or higher GPA  and 4-8 years of prior relevant experience or Masters degree with 2-6 years of prior relevant experience.
• Candidate will demonstrate:
  • Education or work experience  in software design.
  • Competency using C++/C and assembly languages.
  • Competency using NVIDIA CUDA

Candidate will live in Huntsville or be willing to relocate to Huntsville Alabama area

Other Qualifications
