Preferred Qualifications :

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.
