About The Position

Leidos Defense is seeking a System Safety Engineer to join a matrixed organization of systems engineers, model-based systems engineers, and specialty systems engineers. This System Safety Engineer will primarily support a vehicle-based radar development program, but has the opportunity to support multiple efforts simultaneously. These efforts will involve analysis of the systems hardware and software safety to the operator and equipment in accordance with MIL-STD-882, consisting of both classified and unclassified work. The System Safety Engineer will work independently, coordinating with other Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) on these efforts, defining their own tasking derived from customer needs and contractual documents. Each effort will require different specific safety artifacts including hazard tracking, mitigation, and regular reporting to the customer via deliverables. The Safety Engineer will lead the prime contractor system safety working group both engaging the customer and work hand-in-hand with the program's systems engineers and human factors engineers to ensure system compliance and verify customer needs are met. This role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on critical defense programs while developing expertise across multiple concurrent efforts.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 8+ years of experience or an MS with 6+ years.
Demonstrated familiarity with MIL-STD-882E and its application to system safety programs.
Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
