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.
