About the role
DRS RADA Technologies, a subsidiary of Leonardo DRS, seeks an onsite Senior Systems Engineer to join the UAV development team in Germantown, MD. You will develop algorithms to convert live radar tracks into real-time guidance for UAV control towards the target.
The role requires expertise in guidance and control, hands-on drone autopilot experience, and real-time software development in Python/C++. You will work in a 9/80 schedule with opportunities for field testing and SITL/HITL validation.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
