If you have a passion for building codes and tools that support advanced sensor technologies—and a drive to learn and contribute—this is an excellent opportunity.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with engineers to translate technical requirements into clear, maintainable software or simulation functionality.
• Support integration of engineering models, simulations, and data into the application.
• Demonstrate initiative, curiosity, and willingness to learn new tools, frameworks, and engineering concepts.
• Maintain clear communication with mentors and team members to ensure alignment with project goals.
• Represent Leidos professionally and uphold company values.
• Prepare and present an end-of-summer poster summarizing your contributions.

Basic Qualifications:

• US Citizen
• 3.0 GPA or higher
• Currently enrolled in a STEM degree program in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related discipline at an accredited University
• Experience with programming languages such as Matlab, C++, Python, CUDA, Rust, or similar
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a collaborative environment
• Ability to write clear documentation and communicate technical ideas effectively
• Interest in applying programming skills to engineering / sensing applications

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to electrical engineering principles such as electromagnetics, digital signal processing, antenna theory, linear algebra, etc.
• Familiarity and experience with developing simulation tools or algorithms related to radar systems and/or digital communication platforms
• Familiarity and experience with Linux operating system environments
• Familiarity with Git/Gitlab, Subversion, or other similar version control software platforms

If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers.
