Mid-Level Systems Engineer

Leidos • Huntsville, AL

2d • $107,900 - $195,050 • Onsite

About The Position

Leidos Defense is seeking a Mid-Level Systems Engineer to join the IFPC Inc 2 systems engineering team. The IFPC Inc 2 is a ground-based, mobile system that aims to combat cruise missiles and unmanned aircraft systems. As part of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability program (IFPC), the system protects and defends civilian and military infrastructure and bridges the gap between tactical short range air defense systems and our strategic systems.
This Systems Engineer will join a matrixed organization of systems engineers, model-based systems engineers, and specialty systems engineers. This systems engineer must have experience with developing systems engineering artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, Test Reports, CONOPS, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content. The Systems Engineer will use Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML to develop requirements specifications, system architecture content (bdd / ibd), and system behavioral content (act / stm). This position does not necessarily require an MBSE Subject Matter Expert, but the role does minimally require experience working independently on MBSE models, some model customization, and the ability to communicate with non-Systems Engineering stakeholders who are less familiar with MBSE approaches.
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 program ends, the Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio.
