  • Experience with medium voltage systems, backup generators, UPS, data centers, and lighting controls
  • Ability to solve complex, cross-disciplinary technical challenges
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage senior leadership and customers

  • This role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on mission-critical infrastructure while working alongside a team of dedicated professionals. If you're ready to lead with precision and purpose, we invite you to apply.

    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.

    Original Posting : October 27, 2025

    For U.S. Positions : While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

    Pay Range $104,650.00 - $189,175.00

    The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline onlyand not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
