About The Position

Leidos Defense is seeking a Systems Engineer to join a matrixed organization of systems engineers, model-based systems engineers, and specialty systems engineers. This Systems Engineer will have a focus in Risk Management for multiple Hypersonics contracts. This role will entail developing and managing systems engineering deliverables, including requirements specifications, interface control documents (ICDs), verification plans, and concepts of operations (CONOPS). As part of this role’s focus in Risk Management, the systems engineer will elicit risks and opportunities, mitigations, and detailed information pertaining to risks from fellow team members, develop a recurring deliverable related to risks, and present findings to program leadership and the customer. In this role, the systems engineer will have to balance both aspects of their work to ensure timely delivery of contract deliverables. What is minimally required in this role is experience in systems engineering with a willingness to learn risk management. 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 efforts end, the Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio.
