About The Position

Lead the Future of Maritime Innovation The Maritime System Solutions (MSS) Portfolio within the Leidos Undersea Maritime Systems Division is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to supervise a talented team of electrical engineers in designing and delivering next-generation maritime solutions as part of a larger, cross-functional organization. Your team will work within a team structure to develop, build, test, and deliver a variety of technical solutions, ranging from unmanned underwater vehicles to advanced sensor systems . Your leadership, mentoring, and technical know-how will help shape capabilities that protect and advance U.S. interests around the globe. Why Join Us Work with and develop cutting-edge subsea technologies that few engineers get to experience firsthand. Collaborate with world-class scientists, engineers, and innovators across the U.S. Lead programs that support a wide variety of high-profile customers. Be part of a culture that values innovation, technical excellence, and mission impact . Key Aspects of the Position Serve as subject matter expert in electrical and electronic system design, test, analysis, and engineering. Coach, mentor, and develop less experienced subordinate electrical engineers into capable, high-performing team members. Oversee aspects of design, analysis, and documentation of electrical power and electronic components and systems. Perform and oversee development of prototypes and products through design, build, test, and installation. Integrate design and process improvements to new and existing systems. Serve as a Technical Lead for a variety of Maritime Programs. Present design solutions to program leadership and external customers. What You Will Do Analyze, simulate, design, construct and test electronics for digital and analog circuitry in systems requiring custom signal processing, amplification, control, power management and conversion. Evaluate, select, specify, design, modify, test, and/or integrate sensors, cables, connectors, power subsystems (including batteries). Generate and maintain engineering drawings in support of manufacturing, review and create engineering change orders (ECOs), as required per ISO9001:2015 policies. Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and at-sea testing. Conduct experimental tests on equipment, evaluate results, and develop specifications for deliverable systems. Contributes to customer development, test and production activities. Supports and oversee development of new and updating of existing system design standards to meet specific current and future requirements. Effectively document engineering development throughout product development lifecycle Manage, mentor, and grow electrical engineers as direct reports to include hiring, firing, promotions, raises, retention, and performance feedback.
