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

Participate in field inspections, functional testing, and commissioning of electrical systems

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

Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across interdisciplinary teams

Experience in electrical system design including power distribution, lighting, and controls

Familiarity with commercial electrical codes and standards (e.g., NEC)

Proficiency in AutoCAD and related CAD tools

Awareness of energy-efficient and sustainable design practices

Exposure to medium voltage systems, backup generators, UPS, and lighting controls

Ability to troubleshoot and resolve moderately complex technical challenges

Preferred Qualifications

EIT (Engineer in Training) or PE (Professional Engineer) certification

Experience with SCADA systems, substation design, and renewable energy integration

Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, and technical documentation

Strong teamwork and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration

This role is ideal for early-career engineers looking to build a strong foundation in electrical infrastructure while supporting national security operations. Join Leidos and help power the future of government facility engineering.

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 27, 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.
