Your Future Awaits!

Leidos' Defense Systems Land Systems is on the lookout for a dedicated Systems Engineering Specialist to support a range of projects within a dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will manage between 1 and 3 concurrent projects, balancing your workload independently throughout a standard 40-hour workweek. These projects will span a variety of applications including physics-based modeling & simulation and hardware development, involving both classified and unclassified work.

As a Systems Engineering Specialist, you'll leverage your experience with MBSE tools like Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML to craft essential model artifacts, develop requirements specifications, system architecture content, and system behavioral content. While you won't need to be an MBSE expert, a solid foundation in MBSE models and effective communication skills with stakeholders who may not be well-versed in MBSE approaches is essential.

This position is part of a matrixed organization, allowing you to support multiple programs across various engineering disciplines and team environments. Once projects conclude, you will have the opportunity to contribute to new programs within our engineering portfolio. Ideal candidates will have supplementary expertise in Lead Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis, enhancing your chances for career advancement within Model-Based Systems Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT).
