Job Description
Leidos is a recognized industry and technology leader dedicated to serving both government and commercial clients with innovative digital and mission-oriented solutions. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, the company employs approximately 47,000 professionals globally and reported revenues of around $16.7 billion for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025. Known for fostering a culture of integrity, innovation, and empowerment, Leidos is committed to giving back to communities and leading with a focus on sustainability. This commitment is reflected in its mission, vision, and values that guide the organization toward creating a brighter future for its employees, clients, and society at large.
The company is currently seeking a Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Instructor to join the 480 ISRW at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton, Virginia. This role offers an exciting opportunity for professionals passionate about Air Force intelligence training and eager to contribute to a mission-critical team. The position requires candidates to hold an active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) security clearance due to the sensitive nature of the work.
As a DCGS Instructor, the individual will play a crucial role in supporting instructional efforts that ensure the 480 ISRW achieves its mission objectives. The instructor will integrate evolving courseware design methodologies and leverage information technologies to remain aligned with the changing concepts of operations for the Distributed Common Ground System. Responsibilities include delivering in-classroom academic instruction, administering tests and performance evaluations, conducting simulations and exercises, and providing hands-on lab instruction. The role demands expertise in sharing knowledge about DCGS products and instructional methods, creating course content and scenarios that enhance operational relevance, and supporting Quality Assurance reviews of courseware.
Familiarity with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and various training assessment tools is essential to provide detailed technical support for Capstone exercises and performance checks. The DCGS Instructor will work in close collaboration with Analysis and Exploitation Teams (AETs) to offer comprehensive training that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application.
Leidos values candidates who bring a strong foundation in intelligence analysis, experience working with the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System, and an understanding of intelligence community processes. This role not only requires technical prowess but also excellent communication skills to clearly convey detailed technical information to both peers and non-technical management personnel.
The position offers a competitive salary range of $65,650 to $118,675, reflecting the critical importance of the role and the expertise required. In addition to compensation, candidates benefit from a well-rounded array of employment perks, including health and wellness programs, income protection, paid leave, and retirement plans, underscoring Leidos' commitment to supporting the overall well-being of its workforce.
Joining Leidos means stepping into a mission-driven environment that challenges conventional thinking and encourages innovation. The organization actively seeks individuals who are not content with the status quo but instead thrive by disrupting, provoking, and pushing beyond traditional boundaries to meet the demands of the mission. This is an opportunity to contribute to a challenging and rewarding field while being part of a company that values diversity, integrity, and excellence.
