About the role
Leidos in New Jersey’s Picatinny Arsenal is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to support the Propulsion Development Branch in research, design, and development efforts. You will lead multidisciplinary teams through formal reviews, manage technical risks, and drive the execution of prototypes and tests using MS Project and data analytics tools.
The role requires a BS in a relevant engineering discipline, 10+ years of experience, strong communication skills, and US citizenship.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
