Lead and support the organizational needs of approximately 6–8 employees. Report personnel coverage, administrative matters, and other issues to the Branch Manager weekly or as required. Coordinate with organizations across the enterprise to identify and manage work assignments for section employees. Supervise employee performance and provide ongoing guidance, coaching, and feedback throughout the year. Prepare and conduct annual performance reviews for direct reports.

Perform additional leadership responsibilities as directed by the Branch Manager and other division leaders. Serve primarily in a technical engineering capacity (approximately 90%), with approximately 10% direct line-management responsibilities. Demonstrate strong direct line-management capabilities, which will be a primary selection criterion for this position. Practice servant leadership, making the needs, development, and success of employees a top priority.

### Basic Qualifications

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or an equivalent discipline from an ABET-accredited university. 8+ years of applicable experience in the design and/or analysis of mechanical systems; or 6+ years of applicable experience with a master’s degree.

### Proficiency in one or more of the following

### Preferred Qualifications

Experience working within an engineering matrix organization. Previous or current experience within the Mechanical Design & Analysis Department. If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.
