Looking for an opportunity to make an impact?

At Leidos, we deliver innovative solutions through the efforts of our diverse and talented people who are dedicated to our customers’ success. We empower our teams, contribute to our communities, and operate sustainable. Everything we do is built on a commitment to do the right thing for our customers, our people, and our community. Our Mission, Vision, and Values guide the way we do business.

Leidos’ Defense Systems Land Systems is seeking a talented Systems Engineer to join a diverse team to create unique solutions for complex problems. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, Leidos provides responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific and IT solutions.

The Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization at Leidos, which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments, from the large-scale programs that Leidos is the prime contractor for, like the Hypersonics Weapons Program and High Energy Laser Program, to smaller-scale programs for which Leidos provides support as a subcontractor to companies in the top 100 DoD contractors.

The Systems Engineer will support the Enduring Shield Program, which is a ground-based, mobile system that aims to combat cruise missiles and unmanned aircraft systems. As part of the Enduring Indirect Fire Protection Capability program (IFPC), the system protects and defends civilian and military infrastructure and bridges the gap between tactical short range air defense systems and our strategic systems. The Systems Engineer will join a team of 10 systems engineers where they will be responsible for executing verification; including but not limited to: planning, management and status reporting. The candidate must have experience with verification, requirements management, and be willing to bring innovative solutions to the table. When the program ends, the Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed Leidos – Dynetics portfolio.

A candidate with experience in other systems engineering areas such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. However, a strong background in traditional systems engineering and technical leadership is what is required for this position.

The Systems Engineer will plan, execute, and manage requirements verification in a model-based environment for the Enduring Shield Program. The selected candidate will interface with the government customer, program management, the cost accounting manager, subcontractors, and design engineers to support system verification throughout the program life cycle.
