Job description

SAIC is seeking a Senior Digital Engineer , specialized in Systems of Systems (SoS) Architectures, in El Segundo, CA , to provide systems engineering, mission architecting, and analysis support to the Space Systems Command within the Space Combat Power and Battle Management, Command, Control, Communication and Space Intelligence System Deltas. These System Deltas oversee the planning, development, testing, deployment, integration, and sustainment of a portfolio that consist of Space Control capabilities. This position supports the architecting of the ground and space-based Space Control enterprise consisting of counter space operations such as Orbital and Spectrum Warfare as well as emerging capabilities to outpace the threat. Responsibilities: • Provide leadership advice on mission engineering strategies for SoS architectures and strategic messaging to key operational and government stakeholders. • Provide systems engineering and mission architecting support. • Technical requirements generation/review/compliance supporting space systems technical review and assessments. • Develop mitigation plans for discovered and recorded Risks, Issues, and Gaps (RIGs) to provide senior leadership the information needed to close RIGs and vulnerabilities. • Identify activities and functions critical to mission thread development, deriving and modeling the as-is and to-be functional and physical architectures. • Provide program and technical insight to the modeling and analysis staff regarding system architecture designs, interfaces, schedule, and assumptions. • Drive integration and utilization of Digital Engineering (DE) practices of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Modeling, Simulation, & Analysis (MS&A) to include the conversion of legacy Systems Engineering content into digital formats. This is you: • Bachelor of Science in Engineering or a relevant discipline with 14+ years of experience with: • Systems engineering and architecting for major systems acquisitions utilizing Digital Engineering methodologies. • Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods and descriptive modeling frameworks such as SysML. • Experience in Cameo Systems Architect or SparX Enterprise Architect. • Understanding of DoDAF views for system of system architectures and plans. • Modeling Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) experience in parametric and physics-based assessment of systems. • Must have an in-scope security background investigation (T5), adjudicated for SCI eligibility and enrolled in the Continuous Evaluation program (as applicable). • Must be willing to be nominated for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information and, or Special Access Programs and consent to a Polygraph examination. You will wow us even more if you have these skills: • Master’s Degree, 12+ years of relevant experience is preferred. • Fluency in Department of War architectural frameworks (e.g., DoDAF). • Military Space Operations with an emphasis in Space Domain Awareness and Combat Power programs and capabilities. • Experience working in a development environment and/or U.S. Government weapons system program office. • Led the development of a Digital Engineering Thread utilizing MBSE and MS&A artifacts, leading to a validated and verified system architecture. • Professional certification (e.g., Professional Engineer, INCOSE CSEP, etc.). • Knowledge of Digital Engineering and operational analysis processes and tools, as well as their application in producing data-driven analysis results.
