Hypersonic Systems Engineer - Careers at Leidos
Job Description
Join Leidos as a Hypersonic Systems Engineer
Leidos Defense Group seeks an experienced Hypersonic Systems Engineer to lead cutting-edge development in King of Prussia, PA. Drive innovation in hypersonic weapons systems, integrating aerodynamics, aerothermal, materials, and structural analyses. This senior role demands 8+ years of expertise in boost-glide or air-breathing systems, mentoring juniors, and delivering mission-critical solutions for DOD partners.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead system-level requirements generation, decomposition, and verification/validation.
- Execute trade studies and define M&S roadmaps for hypersonic performance validation.
- Coordinate multi-domain integration across aerodynamics/CFD, trajectory simulation, thermal/structural analysis.
- Plan and execute ground/flight tests, range safety, and payload integration.
- Communicate results to stakeholders, developing execution plans aligned with customer objectives.
Required Expertise
Demonstrate proficiency in systems engineering processes and domains like CFD (Cart3D, FNS), trajectory tools (OTIS, POST), FEA (ANSYS, NASTRAN), and Matlab. Active Secret clearance (TS preferred) and U.S. citizenship mandatory. Up to 25% travel for reviews and conferences.
Desired Skills
- System architecture development.
- Advanced aerothermal/material response modeling.
- Test data analysis with Tecplot/ParaView.
- CAD and mechanical design experience.
