We empower our teams, contribute to our communities, and operate sustainable. Everything we do is built on a commitment to do the right thing for our customers, our people, and our community. Our Mission, Vision, and Values guide the way we do business.

Leidos Defense provides a diverse portfolio of systems, solutions, and services covering land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace for customers worldwide. Solutions for Defense include enterprise and mission IT, large-scale intelligence systems, command and control, geospatial and data analytics, cybersecurity, logistics, training, and intelligence analysis and operations support. Our team is solving the world’s toughest security challenges for customers with “can’t fail” missions.

Leidos Defense is seeking a talented RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) 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 provides responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific and IT solutions.

The RAM Engineer will work on small or large programs associated with the DoD, DARPA, NASA, and commercial applications. The selected candidate is expected to have a significant impact on the development of reliability artifacts throughout the system’s life cycle. Examples of artifacts include, but are not limited to: reliability prediction, Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) analysis, reliability block diagrams (RBD), reliability reports, statistics, Failure Modes Effect (Criticality) Analysis (FMEA/FMECA), Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS). The selected candidate will be expected to collaborate on multi-disciplinary teams to resolve complex and significant problems using their technical knowledge. The selected candidate may present reliability engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal design reviews and may serve as a customer liaison in many of their programs.

The RAM Engineer will work in a matrixed organization at Leidos, with the potential to support one or multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with different team environments, from the large-scale programs that Leidos is the prime contractor for, to smaller-scale programs for which Leidos provides support as a subcontractor to companies in the top 100 DoD contractors. The candidate will join a diverse team of other RAM engineers, systems engineers and specialty engineers (e.g., Safety and Human Factors, Risk, Test) within Leidos and may have the opportunity to work on programs from their preferred background, as well as challenge themselves by working on programs outside of their expertise.

As a RAM Engineer, this candidate may serve as RAM Engineer on at least one major program, where they may be part of a small team or a larger team of systems engineers. In this role, the candidate may interface with program IPTs, customers, and line management. The expectation is for the RAM Engineer to work independently with significant impact on project deliverables. The RAM engineer may also have the opportunity to impact RAM processes outside their program as the RAM capability within Leidos keeps growing. The goal of the Defense Systems Sector is to eventually incorporate RAM analyses into a Model-Based Systems Engineering environment where possible.

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical/engineering degree from an ABET-accredited university.
• Candidate must possess a BS degree and 4+ years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 2+ years of prior relevant experience.
• Must have experience conducting RAM related analyses such as MTTR, MTBF, FMEA, RBD, FRACAS, power dissipation, and derating.
• Position requires candidate to be capable of performing in a highly collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
• Experience in deriving (RAM) requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
• Experience supporting NASA, DoD, or DARPA programs.
• Resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area.
• US Citizenship is required and the ability to obtain/maintain a secret security clearance.

• Demonstrated ability to take on complex or ambiguous technical tasks, develop a structured plan of action, and drive it to completion with minimal supervision.
• 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 with LTSpice or other electronic circuit simulator software.
• Experience in working with SysML to develop Model-Based Systems Engineering diagrams.
• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) and/or INCOSE CSEP certification preferred.
• An understanding of the top-down systems engineering process for architecture development and bottoms-up verification.
• Experience in supporting Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) and Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT).
• Experience performing risk management, test planning, and proposal development.
• Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods.
• Master's Degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical/engineering degree from an ABET-accredited university.
