Description

Exciting Opportunity Awaits!

Step into a role that's far from ordinary and take part in transforming the future of naval simulation, training, and analysis at Leidos' High Fidelity Simulation Business Area. We're not just building software-we're setting the standard for the U.S. Navy's operational capabilities. When you join us, your expertise will directly impact and shape naval advancements.

All software is developed in a Linux environment, and written in C++ and OpenGL, utilizing the Unreal graphics engine and various software packages.

Make a Real-World Impact

Your contributions won't go unnoticed or unused. Your creations will be integral to real-world naval operations. Plus, you'll have the unique chance to travel to strategic locations like Pearl Harbor, San Diego, and Norfolk, where you'll see firsthand the effect your work has on naval readiness.

Are You the Innovator We're Looking For?
