Systems Engineer ​/ Risk Manager

Systems Engineer

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 primarily perform Risk Management for multiple Hypersonics contracts.

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. A candidate with experience in other systems engineering areas such as Lead Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Model-Based Systems Engineering, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially.

However, this position minimally requires a strong background in traditional Systems Engineering and Risk Management.

• 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 4+ years of experience or MS with 2+ years.
• Experience in performing risk management for Defense applications on large-scale programs at various points in the systems development lifecycle.
• Experience using Magic Draw, Cameo Systems Modeler and/or other Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) modeling tools
• 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.
• Active secret clearance

• Preference shown to candidates who possess a Master of Science in System Engineering from an ABET-accredited university, and/or have at least 2-4 years of direct systems engineering experience.
• Preferred candidates will also have experience and/or working knowledge with:
• Demonstrated experience effectively leading a team of engineers.
• Demonstrated experience accurately estimating the engineering effort (i.e. hours) associated with Systems 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)
