In anticipation of NASA awarding the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) contract in the near future, Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is seeking a Natural and Induced Environments Systems Engineer to boost HLS and other programs as part of a diverse team that develops lunar landers, other cislunar spacecraft, and a wide range of critical technologies for civil, military, and commercial space programs.

The Natural and Induced Environments Systems Engineer in this role will aid in the development and integration of aerospace structures and systems related to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and commercial space customers. Primary assignments will include definition and study of spacecraft natural and induced environments.

The Natural and Induced Environments Systems Engineer will report to the HLS Lead Systems Engineer (LSE). The Environments SE will boost the LSE in the definition of environment tasks, allocation of environment tasks across the HLS Elements and Subsystems. The Environments SE will conduct and review examinations for space environments and spacecraft environments to ensure proper application in spacecraft design. Helping the HLS LSE, the Environments SE will coordinate with each of the engineering teams within HLS, serving as a subject matter expert in system application. The Environments SE will also contribute to the growth of the Space Systems Division and the company by initiating a space environments capability within the Space Division.
