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 Concept of Operations (ConOPs) and Mission Planning Systems Engineer (SE) to work with 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 ConOps and Mission Planning SE 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 tasks include the definition and revision of spacecraft concepts of operations and conduct of mission planning.

The ConOps and Mission Planning SE will work alongside the spacecraft Senior Systems Engineer (LSE) in the definition and revision of the spacecraft concept of operations. The ConOps and Mission Planning SE will review demands and study system models to ensure the ConOps is manifested in the design. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) models of the concept of operations activities, system functions, risks, and verifications are updated with verification, validation, and certification objectives, results, and notices. The ConOps and Mission Planning SE will maintain the MBSE ConOps model consistent with the design maturity.
