Undersea Systems Vulnerability Engineering Analyst

Description

Are you an experienced engineer ready to apply your expertise to some of the nation's most complex and consequential intelligence challenges? Join Leidos' Analysis Solutions Business Area, where your work will directly shape maritime threat understanding, strengthen national defense, and influence real-world operational outcomes. In this mission driven role, you'll collaborate with top technical and intelligence professionals, tackle sophisticated multidomain systems, and see your contributions impact countermeasure development and Navy decision‑making.

If you're motivated by solving hard problems with strategic importance, this is where your skills can make a lasting difference.

Leidos' Analysis Solutions Business Area is seeking experienced engineers who are eager to contribute to some of the nation's most important maritime intelligence challenges. In this role, you'll help characterize undersea naval and multidomain threats‑from subsystem level analysis to integrated combat system assessments‑and support the creation of highvalue maritime finished intelligence (FINTEL) products for the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI).

Your work will directly advance several mission critical objectives:

• Producing objective, tradecraft compliant FINTEL (ICD 203)
• Delivering defensible, sourceable intelligence (ICD 206)
• Enabling maximum utility for countermeasure developers
• Helping close the sensortoshooter loop and strengthen U.S. maritime advantage

This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy complex systems analysis, thrive in mission driven environments, and want their technical expertise to directly influence national security outcomes.

Characterize threat C4

ISR architecture from the component level upward. Your assessments will cover node hierarchy, decision timelines, battle management logic, sensor integration, data fusion requirements, communications/datalink features, and EP integration under jamming or EA conditions. You'll also generate subsystem level engineering building blocks that feed broader systemofsystems analysis.

Translate raw intelligence into operationally actionable insights, closing the loop between sensor performance and architectural vulnerabilities. Your work will highlight decision points, timing constraints, and structural weaknesses that inform EW, EP, and hardkill countermeasure development.

Evaluate physical and logical network architecture, connectivity pathways, bandwidth and latency constraints, and redundancy/failover design.

Analyze adversary processes from initial target detection through track reporting, fire control solution development, weapon launch authorization, guidance support, and battle damage assessment.

Assess how threats coordinate across sensors and platforms, including data exchange formats, cueing protocols, and cooperative engagement logic.

Examine track accuracy and latency requirements at every handoff point, and evaluate how jamming or countermeasures degrade engagement performance.

Conduct functional decomposition, develop attack trees, construct threat scenarios, and perform rigorous assessments to identify system and network vulnerabilities.
