SAIC is a trusted leader in delivering advanced command and control capabilities across the Department of the Air Force, bringing deep expertise in how cutting edge technologies are engineered, secured, and delivered to the fight. At the center of this mission, the Common Mission Control Center (CMCC) unifies data, sensors, mission applications, cloud based services, and emerging AI enabled automation to give warfighters a decisive edge—turning complex, multidomain information into fast, clear, and actionable decisions in the moments that matter most. The CMCC System Facilitator contract positions SAIC to accelerate how new capabilities are integrated, tested, secured, and transitioned into operational use, working side by side with operators, engineers, Capability Providers, and government teams to ensure every delivery strengthens mission readiness.

This role ensures Capability Providers and Externals deliver complete, technically validated cyber artifacts and coordinates with the Infrastructure Task Order to support inclusion into the Baseline. The Cybersecurity Lead maintains all RMF/ATO packages for development, integration, and test environments, leads continuous monitoring, participates in CCB promotion decisions, and provides hands on support to Cloud and DSOP engineers. The Lead reinforces mission alignment, technical excellence, active communication, WHY based guidance, and real time vector checks.
