SalaryDescription
Leidos Defense Systems is seeking a talented Systems Engineerto join a diverse team to create unique solutions for complex problems. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, LDS provides responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific and IT solutions.
The Systems Engineer will develop requirements specifications derived from customer needs for product development programs associated with the DoD, DARPA, NASA, and commercial applications. The selected candidate will interface with program management and design engineers to support a program’s systems engineering needs throughout its design life cycle, including modeling system behavior, defining the system architecture, dictating system interfaces, performing requirements verification, helping develop test programs, and maintaining configuration management. The selected candidate may present the systems engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal design reviews and may serve as a customer liaison in many of their programs.
The Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization at Dynetics, supporting multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments, from the large-scale programs that Dynetics is the prime contractor for, like the Hypersonics Weapons Program and High Energy Laser Program, to smaller-scale programs for which Dynetics provides support as a subcontractor to companies in the top 100 DoD contractors. The candidate will join a diverse team of systems engineers within Dynetics and have the opportunity to work on programs from their preferred background, as well as challenge themselves by working on programs outside of their expertise. A candidate with experience in other systems engineering areas such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. However, a strong background in traditional systems engineering is what is required for this position, and training opportunities for those other areas will be made available to the candidate while at Dynetics.
Basic Qualifications:
A 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.
Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
Position requires candidates to be 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.
Other Qualifications:
Preference shown to candidates who possess a Master of Science in System Engineering from an ABET-accredited university, and/or have at least 6 years of direct systems engineering experience.
Preference shown to candidates who already hold a TS/SCI Clearance
Preferred candidates will also have experience and/or working knowledge with:
MagicDraw and/or other Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) modeling tools
DOORS and/or other requirements database tools
Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods
Experience supporting DoD, NASA, or DARPA program
Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification
INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification (ASEP or CSEP)
Supporting reliability analyses such as derating, failure rate prediction, Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), and/or Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
ReliaSoft and/or other Reliability tools
Security Requirements:
Candidate must be a US Citizen and possess (and be able to maintain) a Final Secret Clearance or meet the eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.
Original Posting Date:
