Primary Responsibilities

Leidos Defense Systems Program Integration is seeking a System Safety Engineer to join a matrixed organization of systems engineers model-based systems engineers and specialty systems engineers. This System Safety Engineer will support between 1 and 3 efforts simultaneously which they will need to autonomously balance throughout their 40-hour workweek. These efforts will be for a variety of applications from physics-based modeling & simulation to hardware development and will involve both classified and

unclassified work. The System Safety Engineer will need to work independently on these efforts defining their own tasking derived from customer needs and contractual documents but System Safety technical oversight will be provided when needed. Each effort will require different specific safety artifacts but broadly the System Safety Engineer will perform system safety analysis tasks in accordance with MIL-STD-882E and customer program requirements. This position does not necessarily require a System Safety Subject Matter Expert but the role does minimally require experience working independently on projects/programs some systems engineering exposure and the ability to communicate with non-System Safety Engineering stakeholders who are less familiar with safety approaches.

The System Safety 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 efforts end the System Safety Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio. A candidate with experience in other engineering areas such as Systems Engineering Human Factors Engineering Risk Management and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. Success in this organization often leads to leadership positions in System Safety Engineering Systems Engineering and Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT).
