Leidos’ Defense Sector Land Systems is seeking a Systems Engineer to join a team developing an integrated counter-unmanned air systems solution with multiple subcontractors, where Leidos is the design authority over the sensor and command-and-control (C2) systems. This Systems Engineer will serve in a “Lead Systems Engineer” role, where they will mentor and task two more junior engineers. The Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to travel to test events, customer sites, and subcontractor sites (approximately 10% of the time or once per quarter). This Systems Engineer will develop systems engineering artifacts, including Systems Engineering Management Plans (SEMPs), Requirements Specifications, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Test Procedures, Test Reports, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content. The Systems Engineer will also contribute to business development efforts related to the program, including supporting Internal Research & Development (IR&D) efforts and white paper development efforts.

The Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization, which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments. When the program ends, the Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio. A candidate with experience in specialty engineering areas such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, Reliability Analysis, Safety, Quality Assurance, or Cybersecurity will be treated preferentially. However, a strong background in traditional systems engineering and technical leadership is what is required for this position.
