Engineer the Future of Maritime Innovation

The Maritime System Solutions (MSS) Portfolio within the Leidos Undersea Systems Division is looking for an Electrical Engineer to support a talented team in designing and delivery of next-generation maritime solutions. From unmanned underwater vehicles to advanced sensor systems, your engineering will shape capabilities that protect and advance U.S. interests around the globe.

Why Join Us

• Work with cutting-edge subsea technologies that few engineers get to experience firsthand.
• Collaborate with world-class scientists, engineers, and innovators across the U.S.
• Perform on programs that support the wide variety of high-profile customers.
• Be part of a culture that values innovation, technical excellence, and mission impact.

Key Aspects of the Position

• Design, analyze, and document electrical power and electronic components and systems.
• Follow product development through design, build, test, and installation.
• Integrate design and process improvements to new and existing systems.
• Work collaboratively within an experienced team to provide technical expertise to design, develop, integrate, and test electrical components and subsystems.
• Effort is performed in a “system” construct and responds to relevant performance and interface requirements.

What You Will Do

• Analyze, simulate, design, construct and test electronics for digital and analog circuitry in systems requiring custom signal processing, amplification, control, power management and conversion.
• Evaluate, select, specify, design, modify, test, and/or integrate sensors, cables, connectors, power (including batteries), and telemetry subsystems.
• Generate and maintain engineering drawings in support of manufacturing, review and create engineering change orders (ECOs), as required per ISO9001:2015 policies.
• Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and at-sea testing.
• Test and troubleshoot electronic circuits and assemblies and identify repairs or modifications required to achieve full performance requirements.
• Conduct experimental tests on equipment, evaluate results, and develop specifications for deliverable systems.
• Contributes to development, test and production activities.
• Supports development of design standards, policies, and procedures to meet specific current and future requirements.
• Effectively document engineering development throughout product development lifecycle

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar field with 4-8 years of related experience in electrical/electronic hardware design, integration and system level test, and production of systems. Alternately, a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or similar field with 2+ years of related experience.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret Security Clearance.
• Demonstrated experience with Altium Designer or similar circuit design tools.
• Experience in Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) design including analog, digital, mixed signal, or high voltage designs (> 1kV).
• Working knowledge of MATLAB, VISIO, and LTSpice software packages.
• Experienced in the operation of electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes, multi-meters, power supplies, function generators, insulation resistance testers, etc.
• Ability to plan, prioritize and organize work without close supervision.
• Competent in the use of Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Microsoft Project.

Preferred Experience:

• Active Secret Clearance or above.
• Experience with unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and associated electronics/sensors, underwater cables/connectors, control and monitor electronics, power systems, launch and recovery subsystems, and system-to-host interfaces, including acoustic ranging and communications.
• Ability to take a system-of-systems approach to understand requirements and produce reliable, robust designs.
• Experience with optics, optical telemetry and electro-optic components.
• Demonstrated knowledge with conversion topologies including Flyback, Buck, PFC, resonant converters, LLC and analog/digital controls loops.
• Experience with coding and debugging in C/C++, firmware development in VHDL/Verilog, familiarity with the Xilinx toolchain, or Python Scripting.
• Development of test software and scripts on Linux/Windows environments.

SUBSEAMSS

If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.
