Job Description:
Description The Guidance, Navigation, Control, and Autonomy
Branch of the Leidos Innovations Center provides cutting-edge
navigation for customers who can't rely on GPS alone, and we need
your help in the Rocket City (Huntsville, AL)!This position offers
both analytic and hands-on tasks, including development,
simulation, analysis, and field testing of navigation algorithms.
We perform research, development, and advanced prototyping for
DARPA, NASA, Air Force Research Laboratory, Office of Naval
Research, and Army Combat Capabilities Development Command
engineering centers. These customers need to get our advanced
technology into the field! You'll work with other engineers in
small teams using spiral or agile development to meet aggressive
schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations. Are you excited
about making advanced technologies work in the real world? Then we
want you on our team!For more information about the work we do,
