The Defense Systems Sector is seeking a talented Junior Reliability and Systems Engineer to join a diverse team to create unique solutions for complex problems. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, Leidos-Dynetics provides responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific and IT solutions.
The Junior Reliability and Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization at Leidos-Dynetics, supporting a variety of programs on a team consisting of other Systems and Reliability engineers. A candidate with direct experience in areas such as Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) Analyses, Model-Based Junior Reliability and Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, and Risk Management will be treated preferentially. However, a BS in Systems Engineering (SE) or in other Engineering disciplines is what is required for this position.
The Junior Reliability and Systems Engineer will work with other reliability engineers on large programs associated with the DoD, DARPA, NASA, and commercial applications. The selected candidate will perform RAM analyses such as reliability prediction, Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), reliability block diagrams (RBD), Failure Modes Effect Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), FRACAS, obsolescence, etc. The selected candidate may also perform Systems Engineering duties such as developing requirements specifications derived from customer needs, interfacing with program management and design engineers to support the program's Systems Engineering needs throughout its design life cycle, including modeling system behavior, defining the system architecture, dictating system interfaces, performing requirements verification, helping develop test programs, and maintaining configuration management.
Basic Qualifications- A Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 2+ years of experience or an MS.
- Position requires candidates to be capable of performing in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
- Demonstrated resourcefulness by using problem solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills.
- Demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment.
- Educational or Professional experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
- Resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area.
- Possess a secret clearance or have the ability to obtain a secret clearance.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with programming or scripting languages (e.g., VBA, Python, MATLAB, or R) to automate RAM analyses and support data-driven decision making.
- Experience with Reliasoft and/or other reliability analysis tools, such as Relyence.
- Experience conducting reliability-related analyses such as MTTR, MTBF, FMEA, RBD, power dissipation, and derating.
- Experience with LTSpice or other electronic circuit simulator software.
- Educational or Professional experience in working with SysML to develop Model-Based Junior Reliability and Systems Engineering diagrams.
- Experience working with Cameo Systems Modeler or any variant of that software.
- INCOSE Junior Reliability and Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification (ASEP).
- Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods.
- Experience supporting DoD, NASA, or DARPA program.
