Description

SAIC is seeking an exceptional Mechanical Engineer to provide high-quality delivery of infrastructure projects to one of the Department of War’s most complex and vital acquisition efforts – the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Program. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the modernization of the U.S. Air Force’s land-based strategic deterrent, ensuring its operational readiness and sustainability well into the 21st century.

The Sentinel ICBM Program is a massive, multi-faceted initiative to replace the aging LGM-30G Minuteman III weapon system. This career-defining program involves designing and integrating advanced ballistic missile systems, refurbishing or replacing key infrastructure, and fielding state-of-the-art command, control, and support systems. You will work both independently and collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to achieve program objectives in a high-impact national security environment.

Your Role and Responsibilities

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will serve as a subject matter expert, conducting detailed technical reviews of engineering designs to ensure compliance with standards, engineering principles, and Sentinel-specific requirements. Your role will focus on providing deep technical analysis and oversight throughout the engineering lifecycle of Sentinel infrastructure projects.

• Provide Technical Oversight: Serve as a key technical authority during all phases of Sentinel infrastructure projects, from design and review through to construction and implementation.
• Conduct Technical Reviews: Perform rigorous assessments of designs prepared by Architect-Engineer (A/E) firms against engineering principles, industry codes, and Sentinel-specific guidelines.
• Ensure Design Compliance: Validate that designs and deliverables adhere to all applicable engineering principles, commercial/military standards, and mission requirements for technically complex projects.
• Analyze and Mitigate Technical Risks: Identify potential engineering risks during the design and implementation process and recommend specific technical mitigation strategies.
• Collaborate on Technical Solutions: Work within a multidisciplinary team to deliver engineering solutions, presenting complex technical information to diverse stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics with 5+ years (with BS) or 3+ years (with MS) of directly related experience in systems engineering or complex product development.
• Active U.S. Government Secret Clearance with a background investigation completed within the past six years. Must be eligible for Special Access Program (SAP) clearance.
• Demonstrated experience applying military and industry standards, such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-882, and Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), to complex engineering projects.
• Proven ability to lead technical design reviews and provide critical feedback on engineering deliverables from internal teams and external A/E firms.
• Experience with formal risk management processes from a technical perspective, including the identification and mitigation of engineering risks.
• Demonstrated proficiency in developing or utilizing Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts (e.g., SysML diagrams, behavioral models) to support system analysis, requirements verification, and design trade studies, using tools such as Cameo,
• MATLAB, or equivalent.

Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills:

• Hands-on experience as an engineer working on missile systems or complex weapon systems (such as ACAT I programs or ICBM-related initiatives).
• Professional Licenses and Certifications, such as a Professional Engineer (PE) License or Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP).
• Experience with requirements management and traceability using tools like DOORS.
