Leidos' **Defense Systems Land Systems **is seeking a **Systems Engineer** to join a radar development team for a defense customer. Land Systems has a long history of radar development, including hardware design, algorithm development, and data analysis for a variety of customers.

This Systems Engineer will join a team of seven other systems engineers, led by a senior systems engineer. In this role the Systems Engineer will work with the broader engineering team to develop detailed requirements specifications, including the system-, subsystem-, and component-level for the radar system. This systems engineer must have experience with developing systems engineering artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, Test Reports, and CONOPS. In this role, the Systems Engineer may interact with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content, so experience in this area will be helpful. However, a strong background in requirements development is what is minimally necessary for this position.

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 program ends, the **Systems Engineer** will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio. A candidate with experience in other systems engineering areas such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. However, a strong background in traditional systems engineering and technical leadership is what is required for this position.

**Basic Qualifications **

• A Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 6+ years of experience or an MS with 4+ years.
• Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
• Position requires candidates to be capable of performing in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
• Demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment.
• 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**

Preference shown to candidates who possess a Master of Science in System Engineering from an ABET-accredited university, and/or have at least 2-4 years of direct systems engineering experience.

Preferred candidates will also have experience and/or working knowledge with:

• Radar development/design efforts
• DOORS, JAMA, and/or other requirements database tools
• MagicDraw and/or other Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) modeling tools
• Demonstrated experience effectively leading a team of engineers.
• Demonstrated experience accurately estimating the engineering effort (i.e. hours) associated with Systems Engineering tasks.
• Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods
• Experience supporting one or more DoD programs
• Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification
• INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification (ASEP or CSEP)
