Senior Systems Engineer
About The Position
Leidos Defense is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join a team of systems engineers developing a radar system. In this role, the Senior Systems Engineer will interface with the Software Development Team, Hardware Development Team, Analysis Team, Logistics Team, and Test & Integration Team to help lead trade study development, plan and execute the technical effort, and support proposals leveraging the radar technology. This Senior Systems Engineer will help develop systems engineering artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, Test Reports, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content. 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 radar 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.
