About the role

Leidos in Huntsville, AL seeks a Senior Navigation and Autonomy Engineer focused on rapid prototyping and field demonstrations. You will develop state estimation and fusion methods, integrate perception and localization, and drive algorithms from concept to customer demonstrations. The role involves MATLAB, Python, C++, ROS, and Linux, plus field testing on aircraft and ground platforms. Expect leadership in fast-paced teams and frequent travel for demos.

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.
