In anticipation of NASA awarding the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) contract in the near future, Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is seeking a System Engineer to boost HLS and other programs as part of a diverse team that develops lunar landers, other cislunar spacecraft, and a wide range of critical technologies for civil, military, and commercial space programs.

The Spacecraft Bus Systems Engineer in this role will aid in the development and integration of aerospace structures and systems related to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and commercial space customers. Primary duties will include development and evaluation of system level needs, performance of trade studies, system design, system scrutiny, and verification.

The Spacecraft Bus Systems Engineer promotes the Spacecraft Bus Principal Systems Engineer. The Spacecraft Bus Systems Engineer conducts requisite study, system scrutiny including trade studies, system integration, and system verification and validation of large, human-rated spacecraft lander busses. The Systems Engineer plans and conducts technical system assessments, coordinates system natural and induced environment study, coordinates system risks with risk management, coordinates system changes with configuration management, and coordinates system data accessibility with data management. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) models of the needs, system functions, risks, and verifications are developed and maintained. The Systems Engineer coordinates and integrates across multiple engineering, scheduling, and business teams.
