Leidos salaries
Salary bands for the 21 roles Leidos has open right now, by role family and location. Where a posting states a range we show it verbatim; otherwise the band is a SpaceNexus estimate: the same bands that appear on Leidos's listings. How the estimates are made.

Vs industry benchmark
+2%
midpoint $138k vs $135k
Leidos's median band midpoint of $138k sits 2% above the SpaceNexus industry benchmark of $135k: the median of the BLS national median wages (OEWS, May 2025) behind our 51 benchmark roles, checked 2026-10. Mix matters: an employer hiring mostly technicians will sit below a benchmark weighted toward engineers, and vice versa.
By role family
Titles are clustered into families (a "Senior Propulsion Engineer" and a "Turbomachinery Lead" both land in Propulsion). The band is the median of the family's listings.

Are these Leidos salaries stated by the company or estimated?
None of Leidos's 21 current postings state a range, so every band on this page is a SpaceNexus estimate: the title is matched to one of our 51 benchmark roles, each set to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (OEWS, May 2025) national wages for its closest occupation; the band is the middle half of that pay (25th to 75th percentile), adjusted for metro where BLS has an area figure. Estimates are guidance, not offers.
Counts are live as of Oct 12, 5:58 AM UTC. Listings mirror Leidos's careers page; large employers often post the same role in several locations. Bands labelled "SpaceNexus estimate" are guidance from a benchmark dataset, not offers. Nothing here is a statement by Leidos.
