About the company
Leidos delivers solutions through the work of a diverse, dedicated team focused on our customersā success. Weāre seeking a Test Engineer to support a government contract in the National Capital Region (NCR). Our team enables missions that matter for our customer. People stick with this program because the work is genuinely interesting, and it shows - many of our team members have been here for years. Weāre looking for smart, eager problem-solvers: people who collaborate well, show up for their teammates and the mission, take ownership and drive things forward on their own, and are comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly.
In this role, youāll take a customer-designed electrical or mechanical device - the Device Under Test (DUT) - and build the test capability around it: connecting the right bench instrumentation, writing custom automation and analysis in Python and/or LabVIEW, and establishing repeatable, calibrated data that a customer engineer or technician can rely on.
We think our work is pretty cool, and you will too. If this sounds like an environment where you can thrive, keep reading., If youāre looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. Weāre not hiring followers. Weāre recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. Weāre already at step 30 - and moving faster than anyone else dares., Leidos is an industry and technology leader serving government and commercial customers with smarter, more efficient digital and mission innovations. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with 47,000 global employees, Leidos reported annual revenues of approximately $16.7 billion for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025.
