Job description

Bring Complex Systems Together for a Mission That Matters Great systems don’t happen by accident, they happen when talented engineers can see the big picture, understand how complex technologies interact, and turn that understanding into reliable mission capabilities. Leidos is seeking an experienced Senior Systems Integration Engineer to join the Chinook Program supporting an Intelligence Community (IC) customer and an application supporting important national security objectives. As a Senior Systems Integration Engineer, you’ll be at the center of complex technical integration connecting applications, services, infrastructure, data, interfaces, and mission capabilities into a cohesive operational solution. You’ll work across engineering disciplines to identify integration challenges early, lead technical troubleshooting, and ensure capabilities work together as intended. The Senior Systems Integration Engineer will provide technical leadership for the integration of software, hardware, infrastructure, data, and mission capabilities supporting the application. The engineer will work closely with software engineering, systems engineering, DevSecOps, test engineering, security, architecture, program management, and customer stakeholders to plan, execute, troubleshoot, and validate complex system integrations.

• Partner with Test Engineering to develop integration and end-to-end test strategies.
• Investigate defects and integration failures and lead root-cause analysis.
• Analyze logs, application behavior, interfaces, data flows, and system configurations to isolate issues.
• Coordinate resolution of integration defects across engineering teams.
• Support deployment, release, and operational readiness activities.
• Evaluate technical impacts associated with application changes, infrastructure changes, and new capabilities.
