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.
Your greatest work is ahead!
Leidos' Defense Systems Land Systems is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead a team of systems engineers manufacturing a Hypersonics system. In this role, the Senior Systems Engineer will lead the current systems engineering effort and identify engineering efficiencies that will help set the program up for success for follow-on work by interfacing with the Hardware Development Team, Integration Team, Test Team, etc. This Senior Systems Engineer will help develop and review systems engineering artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Manufacturing Procedures, Engineering Reports, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content. It is an expectation for this role that the Senior Systems Engineer will start the effort with direct tasking from the current Lead Systems Engineer but will take over the effort and move into a more autonomous role.
The Senior 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 Hypersonics program ends, the Senior Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio. A candidate with experience in other engineering areas such as Test, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Human Factors, 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.
