System Safety Engineer

Leidos • Huntsville, AL

1d • $57,850 - $104,575 • Onsite

About The Position

Leidos Defense is seeking an entry System Safety Engineer to join a matrixed organization of systems engineers, model-based systems engineers, and specialty systems engineers. This System Safety Engineer will support between 1 and 3 efforts simultaneously, which they will need to autonomously balance throughout their 40-hour workweek. These efforts will be for a variety of applications, from physics-based modeling & simulation to hardware development, and will involve both classified and unclassified work. The System Safety Engineer will need to work independently on these efforts, defining their own tasking derived from customer needs and contractual documents. Each effort will require different specific safety artifacts, but broadly the System Safety Engineer will perform system safety analysis tasks in accordance with MIL-STD-882E and customer program requirements. The System Safety 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 efforts end, the System Safety 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 Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. Success in this organization often leads to leadership positions in System Safety Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT).

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.
• 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.
• Capability to perform in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
• Demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment.
• Resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area.
• US Citizenship is required.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a secret clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Master of Science in Safety or System Engineering from an ABET-accredited university.
• At least 2 years of direct system safety engineering experience.
• Familiarity with AR 385-10, AR 385-16, AR 770-3, and AMCOM 385-17.
• Knowledge of Army Safety Board processes and preparation.
• Experience conducting hazard analyses (PHA, FHA, SHA, SSHA, O&SHA, EHA, HHA, FTA, FMEA).
• Proficiency with safety tools and databases (e.g., hazard tracking systems, model-based systems engineering, requirement databases).
• Demonstrated experience effectively leading a team of engineers.
• Demonstrated experience accurately estimating the engineering effort (i.e. hours) associated with System Safety Engineering tasks.
• Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods.
• Experience supporting one or more DoD programs.
• Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification.
• INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification (ASEP or CSEP).
• Experience in other engineering areas such as Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis.

Responsibilities

• Perform system safety analysis tasks in accordance with MIL-STD-882E and customer program requirements.
• Support between 1 and 3 efforts simultaneously, autonomously balancing them throughout the workweek.
• Define own tasking derived from customer needs and contractual documents.
• Work independently on various applications, from physics-based modeling & simulation to hardware development.
• Engage in both classified and unclassified work.
• Potentially support different programs within the matrixed engineering portfolio as efforts conclude.

Benefits

• Leidos offers a diverse portfolio of systems, solutions, and services covering land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace for customers worldwide.
• Opportunities for leadership positions in System Safety Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT).
