About the role

Leidos is seeking a Senior Solid Rocket Propulsion SME to work on-site at a customer location in Northern Virginia. The role involves analysis, mentorship, and collaboration with government personnel on ballistic missile propulsion topics and related satellite/C4ISR aspects. The ideal candidate has 12+ years in solid propellants, with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, and a security clearance. On-site duties and leadership of junior staff are expected components of the position.

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.
