Junior Electrical Engineer - Government Facilities Infrastructure

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Junior Level Electrical Engineer to support the design, analysis, and implementation of electrical power systems and infrastructure within government facilities. Working under the guidance of senior engineers, this role plays a key part in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and compliance of facility electrical systems. The ideal candidate will contribute to both new and existing infrastructure projects, providing technical input, supporting maintenance strategies, and helping to drive operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist in the design and layout of medium- and low-voltage power distribution systems
  • Develop and maintain single-line diagrams, protection / control schematics, and equipment specifications
  • Participate in field inspections, functional testing, and commissioning of electrical systems
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (civil, mechanical, systems, vendors) to deliver integrated infrastructure solutions
  • Support evaluation and specification of electrical components such as transformers, switchgear, and UPS systems
  • Contribute to engineering documentation, technical reports, maintenance policies, and design packages
  • Assist with power system studies including load flow, short circuit, arc flash, and grounding analysis
  • Gain hands-on experience with SCADA systems, substation design, and renewable energy integration
  • Utilize AutoCAD, Revit MEP, and Microsoft Office tools for design and documentation tasks

Basic Qualifications

  • Current TS / SCI security clearance (required) AND the ability to pass a polygraph after hiring
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 2-4 years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with less than 2 years of experience (additional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree)
  • Solid understanding of electrical engineering principles and their application to moderately complex systems

  • Familiarity with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and other relevant standards
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD or similar CAD software
  • Awareness of energy efficiency and sustainable design practices
  • Exposure to medium-voltage systems, backup generators, data centers, UPS, and lighting control systems
  • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues across electrical systems
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate technical concepts to leadership and clients
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Current Polygraph
  • EIT (Engineer-in-Training) or PE (Professional Engineer) certification
  • Knowledge of SCADA systems, substation design, and renewable energy technologies
  • Experience with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, and engineering documentation

  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement
  • Experience with reactive maintenance of building electrical systems
  • EC-DAS

    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 22, 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 $67,600.00 - $122,200.00

    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.
