Job Description
Leidos is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to lead cutting-edge engineering efforts within the Undersea Systems Division. This role is a unique opportunity to support underwater vehicle systems, maritime sensors, subsea telemetry, and ISR solutions in support of critical defense and national security missions.
You'll be an engineer supporting a multidisciplinary team developing and supporting customers with advanced maritime technologies, from production processes to prototype design.
Leidos’ Undersea Systems Division is a recognized leader in undersea technologies, delivering innovative, mission-critical solutions across sensor networks, unmanned systems, and tactical platforms. We’re known for achieving “industry firsts” in the most challenging maritime domains, as well as supporting well-developed processes and procedures to support excellence in execution for our customers.
Join us and be part of a world-class team delivering unmatched solutions for today's most pressing maritime missions.
Why Join Us?
· Make a Mission Impact: See your work directly contribute to U.S. maritime dominance by delivering and sustaining critical systems the warfighter depends on.
· Turn Capability into Readiness: Support proven technologies through production, integration, fielding, and long-term operational support.
· Own Real-World Results: Solve the production, quality, supply chain, and sustainment challenges that determine whether complex systems are ready when the mission demands them.
· Work with an Exceptional Team: Collaborate with engineers, manufacturing professionals, technicians, program teams, suppliers, and customers to deliver reliable systems.
· Build Capability That Lasts: Help improve how we produce, support, upgrade, and sustain maritime systems throughout their operational lifecycle.
What You’ll Do
· Provide hands-on mechanical engineering support for the production, integration, testing, and sustainment of complex maritime systems.
· Resolve production and field issues through technical investigation, root-cause analysis, and implementation of practical engineering solutions.
· Improve product designs for manufacturability, reliability, maintainability, and cost while maintaining system performance and mission requirements.
· Develop and maintain mechanical drawings, specifications, bills of material, work instructions, and other technical documentation needed to support production.
