Leidos • Huntsville, AL

2d • $107,900 - $195,050 • Onsite

About The Position

The Defense Systems Sector is seeking a talented RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) Engineer to join a diverse team to create unique solutions for complex problems. The RAM Engineer will work with other RAM engineers on large programs associated with the DoD, DARPA, NASA, and commercial applications. The selected candidate will have a significant impact on the development of reliability artifacts throughout the system’s life cycle. Examples of artifacts include, but are not limited to: reliability prediction, Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) analysis, reliability block diagrams (RBD), reliability reports, statistics, Failure Modes Effect (Criticality) Analysis (FMEA/FMECA), Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS). The selected candidate may serve as a Subject Matter Expert and may be experienced with using the Reliasoft tool. The selected candidate may present reliability engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal design reviews and may serve as a customer liaison in many of their programs. Leidos Defense Systems Sector provides a diverse portfolio of systems, solutions, and services covering land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace for customers worldwide. Solutions for Defense include enterprise and mission IT, large-scale intelligence systems, command and control, geospatial and data analytics, cybersecurity, logistics, training, and intelligence analysis and operations support. Our team is solving the world’s toughest security challenges for customers with “can’t fail” missions. The RAM Engineer will work in a matrixed organization at Leidos, supporting multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with different team environments, from the large-scale programs that Leidos is the prime contractor for, like IFPC Inc-2, to smaller-scale programs for which Leidos provides support as a subcontractor to companies in the top 100 DoD contractors. The candidate will join a diverse team of other RAM engineers, systems engineers and specialty engineers (e.g., Safety and Human Factors, Risk, Test) within Leidos and have the opportunity to work on programs from their preferred background, as well as challenge themselves by working on programs outside of their expertise.
