Are you ready for your next career challenge?
Leidos Defense Systems Sector provides a diverse portfolio of systems, solutions, and services covering land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace for customers worldwide. 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. Our team is solving the world’s toughest security challenges for customers with “can’t fail” missions.
Leidos’ Defense Land Systems is seeking a talented Senior RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) Engineer to join a diverse team to create unique solutions for complex problems in Huntsville, AL.
The Senior RAM Engineer will lead and manage other RAM engineers on large programs associated with the DoD, DARPA, NASA, and commercial applications. The selected candidate will have a significant impact on the development of reliability artifacts throughout the system’s life cycle. Examples of artifacts include, but are not limited to: reliability prediction, Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) analysis, reliability block diagrams (RBD), reliability reports, statistics, Failure Modes Effect (Criticality) Analysis (FMEA/FMECA), Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS). The selected candidate will be expected to interface with program management and executive leadership to resolve highly complex and significant problems using their expert technical knowledge. The selected candidate may serve as a Subject Matter Expert and may be experienced with using the Reliasoft tool. The selected candidate may present reliability engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal design reviews and may serve as a customer liaison in many of their programs.
The Senior RAM Engineer will work in a matrixed organization at Leidos, supporting multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with different team environments, from the large-scale programs that Leidos is the prime contractor for, like IFPC Inc-2, to smaller-scale programs for which Leidos provides support as a subcontractor to companies in the top 100 DoD contractors. The candidate will join a diverse team of other RAM engineers, systems engineers and specialty engineers (e.g., Safety and Human Factors, Risk, Test) within Leidos and have the opportunity to work on programs from their preferred background, as well as challenge themselves by working on programs outside of their expertise.
As a Senior RAM Engineer, this candidate may serve as a Lead RAM Engineer on at least one major program, where they will manage tasking for a team of other reliability engineers. In this role, the candidate will interface with program leadership, customers, and line management. The expectation is for the Senior RAM Engineer to manage RAM Engineering work internally within the Defense Systems Sector (and Leidos as a whole) by fielding requests from project managers, supporting Basis of Estimation (BoE) development for proposed RAM work, and shaping the company’s overall approach to RAM Engineering via tool selection and training of other reliability team members. The goal of the Defense Systems Sector is to eventually incorporate RAM analyses into a Model-Based Systems Engineering environment where possible.

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.
