Our team is solving the world’s toughest security challenges for customers with “can’t fail” missions. 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.

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.

• 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.
• Possess a 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:
