Leidos is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Junior level Electrical Engineer to join our dynamic team supporting mission-critical operations in secure government facilities. This is an exceptional opportunity to grow your technical expertise while contributing to the design, analysis, and implementation of electrical power systems that keep national operations running smoothly.

If you're ready to apply your engineering skills in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, we want to hear from you.

Primary Responsibilities

• Support the design and layout of medium- and low-voltage power distribution systems
• Create and update single-line diagrams, protection / control schematics, and equipment specifications

• Collaborate with civil, mechanical, systems, and vendor teams to deliver integrated infrastructure solutions
• Assist in evaluating and specifying electrical components (e.g., transformers, switchgear, UPS systems)
• Contribute to engineering documentation, technical reports, and maintenance policy development
• Support power system studies including load flow, short circuit, arc flash, and grounding analysis
• Gain exposure to SCADA systems, substation design, and renewable energy integration
• Utilize AutoCAD, Revit MEP, and Microsoft Office tools for design and documentation

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.
