Field Operations Engineer Sr.

Description

The Defense Group at Leidos has an urgent need to fill a requirement for a Field Operations Engineer Sr. to perform maintenance and to support military operators of the system at multiple OCONUS locations. The Field Engineer will be required to assess each location and provide unique system configurations/solutions to ensure operability.

The system being deployed is new and there are no manuals or SOPs available, so the FE will be providing training and developing SOPs for the end users.
