## Description

The Leidos Defense Electrical Systems Department is seeking an Electronics Safety Systems Engineer to design, develop, and qualify high-reliability safety electronics systems for missile range operations, autonomous flight safety systems (AFSS), and firing safety applications.

The selected candidate will be expected to execute in a fast-paced, small team environment through all phases of the hardware life cycle from conceptual development and detailed design through manufacturing, qualification testing, and post-delivery support.

**Primary Responsibilities:**

- Ownership of system level design/qualification for an autonomous flight safety system, including providing design requirement guidance to component design engineers, and conducting design reviews with internal and external stakeholders.

- Develop Flight Safety System design and validation requirements in compliance with various missile range safety standards (RCC 319, etc.).

- Review the design and development of safety-critical electronics including low-voltage firing sets, initiator safety circuits, power filtering, interlocks, reliable stimulus sensing systems, CDUs, and safety circuits for LEEFI and NSI initiators.

- Review Flight Safety System component designs and test procedures against requirements.

- Apply RCC 319 and related range safety standards throughout the design, analysis, and verification process.

- Work effectively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary development environment with evolving priorities and tight schedules.

**Basic Qualification**

- Candidate must possess a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited institution.

- 4+ years of experience with a Master's degree at least 2+ years of experience.

- Strong experience in safety-critical or high-reliability electronics design and/or testing and validation.

- Ability to interpret/review electrical schematics and mechanical drawings.

- Demonstrated experience integrating/certifying firing safety electronics, initiator circuits, interlocks, or similar safety systems for flight testing.

- Solid understanding of grounding, isolation, shielding, bonding, ESD, and EMI protection techniques.

- Experience with range safety standards, particularly RCC 319 and related requirements.

- Familiarity with analog circuit function, filtering, sensing, and A/D interfaces in reliability-critical applications.

- Familiarity with standard electrical test equipment (oscilloscopes, meters, function generators, etc.).

- Troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced team environment.

- U.S. Citizenship required (due to the nature of the work); ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance is expected.

**Benefits:**

- Competitive salary range: $87,100.00 - $157,450.00

**Security Requirements:**

- Candidate must be a US Citizen and possess (and be able to maintain) a Final Secret Clearance or meet the eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.
