The Aerospace Systems Group within the Defense System Sector at Leidos currently has an opening for a Full Stack Software Engineer supporting the RF Engineering portfolio in Huntsville, AL.  This is an exciting opportunity to use your experience in software development and software maintenance for advanced RF systems that provide critical information to customers. 

Primary Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will be responsible for performing the software engineering for full stack software, including the design, development, testing, troubleshooting, and debugging of software programs for enhancements and new software-intensive systems and products. Duties include software requirements analysis, analysis of hardware compatibility, development of software products and tools used for design, development and maintenance of infrastructure, and platforms.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
