Description

Leidos is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to provide fuze design, engineering, and technical leadership support to DEVCOM Armaments Center, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ.

Primary Responsibilities

Conduct and support R&D activities for the development of novel fuzes and fuze setting systems, including design reviews, hardware fabrication, functional testing, performance evaluations, and experimental validation.

Lead the development and optimization of fuze designs, incorporating advanced FEA simulations, material selection, and manufacturing process improvements.

Generate Technical Data Packages using CAD software (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) to create 3D models and 2D drawings of designs, ensuring compliance with MIL, ASME and other applicable standards.

Prepare detailed technical reports documenting designs, test results, and engineering analyses for internal and external stakeholders.

Manage projects within required budgets and schedules, ensuring alignment with program goals and customer requirements.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including subject matter experts, supervisors, customers, and functional peer group managers, to drive informed decision-making and project success.

Basic Qualifications

Minimum of a BA degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (advanced degrees preferred).

5-7 years of experience in electro-mechanical fuzing and fuze setting systems, including design, testing, and manufacturing.

Proficiency in commercial CAD software (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) and Configuration Management (CM) tools.

Experience with FEA analysis (e.g., Abaqus, Ansys) and material selection for high-stress environments.

Solid understanding of fuze design principles, MIL standards, and manufacturing processes.

Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Strong technical writing and communication skills for preparing reports and presentations.

US citizenship required.

Preferred Qualifications

Advanced degree in relevant field.

At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now."

If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You'll fit right in.
