Your responsibilities will also include:

- Analysing test results, investigating anomalies, and working with systems, software, hardware, and integration engineers to resolve issues and demonstrate compliance.

- Contributing to requirements traceability, technical reviews, test reporting, and continuous improvement of V&V processes and engineering practices.

The Mission Software Systems (MSS) team brings together expertise across intelligence, software, and cloud to deliver end-to-end capability supporting the full intelligence lifecycle. They foster a culture of innovation, leveraging modern engineering practices and shared infrastructure to rapidly build, test, and deploy software solutions across a range of environments, including cloud.

Leidos offers various benefits, including:

- Flex Your Way: Tailor work to your life with options including Life Days (up to 12 extra days off per year), part-time arrangements, job sharing, and compressed hours.

- Wellbeing That Matters: Free access to Headspace and MeQuilibrium, plus dedicated wellness spaces.

The salary range for this role is $136,400.00-$170,500.00.

**Essential:**

- Experience developing and executing verification and validation plans, procedures, test cases, and reports.

- Knowledge of systems engineering principles, requirements management, and requirements traceability.

- Experience analysing test outcomes, identifying defects or non-conformances, and supporting issues through to resolution.

- Ability to interpret technical requirements and communicate verification outcomes clearly to engineering and program stakeholders.

- Experience working within structured engineering lifecycles and configuration-controlled environments.

**Advantageous:**

- Experience with requirements and test management tools such as IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS, Jama Connect, Jira, or similar platforms.

- Knowledge of systems integration, interface testing, acceptance testing, and formal qualification activities.

- Experience working on complex, safety-critical, mission-critical, or Defence-related systems.
