    Original Posting : September 2, 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 :

    Pay Range $39,650.00 - $71,675.00

    The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary.
