Systems Engineer
About The Position
Leidos Defense is seeking a Systems Engineer to join a team of systems engineers developing a radar system. This Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to travel to customer sites and subcontractor sites (approximately 10% of the time). This Systems Engineer will develop systems engineering artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, and Test Reports. The 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 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.
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 5+ years of experience or an MS with 3+ years.
- Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
- Experience in developing and executing system and sub-system verification activities.
- Capable of performing 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.
