Job Details
The Maritime System Solutions Portfolio within the Maritime Systems Division (MSD) is seeking an experienced, dynamic, technical, and customer focused Deep Sea Engineer to join the Leidos team in Suitland, MD.
Leidos is seeking a Deep Sea Engineer to support cutting-edge efforts within the Maritime System Solutions (MSS) Portfolio of our Maritime Systems Division (MSD) in Suitland, MD. This role is a unique opportunity to support US Navy Intelligence in providing expert analysis on existing and future undersea system capabilities, industry technology development, and operational methodologies.
You'll support a multidisciplinary team developing advanced maritime technologies, from prototype design to full-scale system deployment for ongoing Navy missions. Analysis will include domestic and international undersea technology systems (manned & unmanned vehicles, underwater navigation systems, acoustic & optical imaging systems etc), will involve research and attendance at selected maritime domestic and international technology conferences, briefing of senior level leadership on analysis, and engagement with both national and international partners on maritime technology.
Leidos' Maritime Systems Division is a recognized leader in C4ISR technologies, delivering innovative, mission-critical solutions across sensor networks, unmanned systems, and tactical platforms. We're known for achieving "industry firsts" in the most challenging maritime domains. Join us and be part of a world-class team delivering unmatched solutions for today's most pressing maritime missions.
Why Join Us?
Make an Impact: Your work will directly support U.S. maritime dominance and national security.
Work with Experts: Collaborate with a top-tier team of analysts, engineers, and scientists.
Shape the Future: Influence both the strategic and tactical direction of next-generation subsea technologies.
Primary Responsibilities
The candidate shall possess expertise in underwater technologies in order to conduct all-source intelligence analysis focused on analyzing and reporting existing and emerging maritime technology capabilities. Knowledge/expertise in the following underwater systems/technologies is essential:
Unmanned undersea vehicles
Manned submersibles
Seafloor imaging sensors (acoustic & optical)
Undersea vehicle navigation and positioning
What You'll Need
Possess expertise in analyzing capabilities, readiness and operations of maritime vessels that employ underwater technologies.
Document analysis and assessments in various memorandum, technical reports and/or briefings to be presented to the Customer and/or designated Customer audiences.
Attend designated underwater technology conferences (nominally 3x per year) and collect pertinent information as directed.
Details of conference attendance shall be documented within a trip report highlighting the collection opportunities and significant elements of information acquired including technical research papers, brochures or other media acquired during conference attendance.
Basic Qualifications
SUBSEAMSS
Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.
We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don't wear capes (they're a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for "how it's always been done."
