About The Position

Leidos’ Defense Systems Defense Sensors is seeking a Systems Engineering Integration and Test Integrated Product Team Lead to join a team developing a next generation Digital Aperture RADAR system. The SEIT Lead will develop and manage systems engineering, integration, and test artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Verification Plans, Verification Results, integration and test documentation, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content. Additionally, this Lead Systems Engineer will serve as a technical liaison with customer representatives. This position is a highly visible position to assist in delivering new capability for an innovative and revolutionary sensor system. The successful candidate will serve as a subject matter expert responsible for leading systems engineering activities across the full program lifecycle from concept development through design, integration, test, and delivery. This individual will coordinate the activities of a broad team of engineers, drive technical excellence, and interface directly with government customers and program leadership. Lead the Integrated Product Team (IPT) execution across technical, cost, and schedule objectives in support of overall program commitments. Plan, organize, and manage work scope activities to ensure alignment with contractual requirements, program priorities, and technical baseline objectives. Serve as the Control Account Manager (CAM) responsible for establishing and managing budget baselines, monitoring performance, and executing within approved cost and schedule constraints. Analyze cost and schedule performance, manage risks and opportunities, and implement corrective actions to maintain execution against the program baseline. This position requires a self-motivated, results-driven engineer who can identify technical choke points, provide alternative solutions, and ensure program objectives are met on time and within budget.
