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.

  • Develop, maintain, and update system safety program documentation (e.g., System Safety Program Plans, Hazard Tracking Systems, Hazard Analyses, Safety Assessment Report)

  • Identify, track, and mitigate safety hazards across system design, development, test and fielding phases

  • Interface with engineering disciplines (systems engineering, reliability, test, quality, design) to ensure safety requirements are fully integrated

  • Proficiency with safety tools and databases (e.g., hazard tracking systems, model-based systems engineering, requirement databases).

  • Active DoD security clearance.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.

Original Posting: September 4, 2025

For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
