Description
SAIC is looking for a Modeling and Simulations Engineer with NRO experience who’s ready to help shape the next generation of national space capabilities. In this role, you won’t just support a rapidly growing Intelligence Community customer — you’ll be part of a mission driven team pushing the boundaries of Modeling & Simulation and SETA support for critical NRO programs.
This role puts you at the heart of efforts to strengthen the NRO’s space resiliency posture — ensuring our nation’s most critical space assets remain ready, reliable, and effective. Your work will help shape the technical direction of systems that support national security every single day.
If you’re energized by solving tough technical problems and want your work to have real operational impact, this is where you can make it happen.
Responsibilities may include but are not limited to the following:
• Lead system level analysis and performance evaluations that directly inform strategic decisions.
• Tackle complex, high stakes mission challenges across design, integration, and operational readiness.
• Identify and assess emerging technologies that can elevate future mission capabilities.
• Support enterprise wide verification and validation to ensure systems perform when it counts.
• Review system discrepancies and drive meaningful resolutions that improve mission assurance.
• Evaluate resources, schedules, and integration plans for major test and transition efforts.
• Capture lessons learned and best practices that strengthen the broader mission enterprise.
• Support occasional non standard hours to meet critical timelines.
• Travel as needed to stay engaged with mission partners and stakeholders.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Systems, Aeronautical, Mechanical, Test Engineering, Physics, or related technical field, plus 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Background in engineering analysis, mission operations, or ground system support is a big plus.
• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph.
• Strong communication and customer engagement skills.
• Excellent writing and interpersonal abilities.
• Experience with M&S tools/technologies such as C++, Python, R, SQL, PostgreSQL, Linux, MATLAB, VBA, or STK (desired).
• Drive, initiative, and the ability to excel in a fast paced, mission focused environment.
Target salary range: $120,001 - $160,000. The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors.
