Leidos’ Defense Systems Land Systems is seeking a Systems Engineer to join a team of systems engineers developing a radar system. This Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to travel to customer sites and subcontractor sites (approximately 10% of the time). This Systems Engineer will develop systems engineering artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, Test Reports, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content.
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 radar program ends, the 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.
