## Description

Leidos Security Enterprise Solutions (SES) is seeking a Systems Engineer in the Aviation organization. This is a great opportunity for an experienced engineer to engage in hands-on work while developing a deep understanding of aviation security products. The role is highly impactful because the products being developed make travel and trade safer, healthier, and more efficient on a global level.

Working in a diverse and collaborative R&D environment, this position is responsible for providing system-level engineering support to maintain and enhance advanced X-ray scanners in the security industry. In this role, you will bridge the gap between initial concept and production, driving the integration and evaluation of complex electrical, mechanical, electro-mechanical, and software components. You will analyze system-level performance and reliability, replicate field issues in the lab, and collaborate across engineering disciplines to optimize our products. If you are a collaborative problem-solver with a strong background in power distribution, troubleshooting, and hands-on hardware debugging, we want to hear from you., * Electrical Design Execution: Perform fundamental engineering duties in electrical design efforts, including the development, integration, testing, measuring, and analysis/simulation of various products.

 * Production Design Refinement: Refine conceptual designs into complete production designs, incorporating appropriate connectors, cables, and wiring to meet strict design criteria.
 * Cost Optimization: Design alternative engineering solutions to reduce Bill-of-Materials (BOM) costs.
 * Subsystem Integration: Integrate and test electrical, mechanical, electro-mechanical, and software subsystems.
 * Lifecycle Management: Identify, evaluate, and source suitable replacements for end-of-life (EOL) components.
 * System Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve complex, system-level performance and reliability issues.
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Manufacturing Engineers to resolve production line issues and work alongside Field Support Engineers to optimize system performance.
 * Root Cause Analysis: Replicate reported field problems in a laboratory environment to determine root causes.
 * Test Infrastructure: Create custom test fixtures and define procedures to evaluate system components.
 * Engineering Documentation: Author comprehensive documentation for system modifications and officially submit Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)., Operations
