Leidos’ Defense Systems Land Systems is seeking a Systems Engineer Risk Manager to join a matrixed organization of systems engineers, model-based systems engineers, and specialty systems engineers. The Systems Engineer will support risk management, develop various SE documents, and support requirements development and traceability across related Hypersonics manufacturing contracts.  The selected candidate will interface with the government customer, program management, finance, EVM, subcontractors, and program engineers to support a program’s risk management and systems engineering needs throughout its life cycle. The selected candidate may present the systems engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal reviews and may serve as a customer liaison in many of their programs.

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.
