Systems Engineer

About the Role

The Systems Engineer will provide system-level engineering support for advanced X-ray scanners at Leidos. You will integrate and evaluate electrical, mechanical, electro-mechanical, and software components while analyzing performance and reliability. The role also involves troubleshooting field issues, collaborating across engineering disciplines, and developing production designs and test infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical Design Execution: Perform fundamental engineering duties in electrical design efforts, including the development, integration, testing, measuring, and analysis/simulation of various products.
• Production Design Refinement: Refine conceptual designs into complete production designs, incorporating appropriate connectors, cables, and wiring to meet strict design criteria.
• Cost Optimization: Design alternative engineering solutions to reduce Bill-of-Materials (BOM) costs.
• Subsystem Integration: Integrate and test electrical, mechanical, electro-mechanical, and software subsystems.
• Lifecycle Management: Identify, evaluate, and source suitable replacements for end-of-life (EOL) components.
• System Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve complex, system-level performance and reliability issues.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Manufacturing Engineers to resolve production line issues and work alongside Field Support Engineers to optimize system performance.
• Root Cause Analysis: Replicate reported field problems in a laboratory environment to determine root causes.
• Test Infrastructure: Create custom test fixtures and define procedures to evaluate system components.
• Engineering Documentation: Author comprehensive documentation for system modifications and officially submit Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
