Description
SAIC, a leading provider of systems development & deployment, targeting & intelligence analysis, systems engineering & integration, and training capabilities and solutions for the Intelligence Community, is seeking a Radio Frequency (RF) Systems Engineer to provide systems engineering and technical advisory (SETA) services to a United States Government customer in Chantilly, VA. SETA contractors provide analysis and engineering services in a consulting capacity, working closely with the government's own engineering staff members. This customer is responsible for designing, building, and operating national security-related systems based in space, in the air, and on the ground.
SAIC has an opening for an engineer to provide SETA support to a customer who is responsible for developing and maturing RF technology from applied research into the demonstrably mature capabilities that can be inserted into system program baselines. The successful RF engineer will support the generation after next national security-related systems.
Roles and Responsibilities
Directly support government program manager in project management and execution of RF technology research and development (R&D) efforts
Plan and support technology maturation through the R&D lifecycle
Support transition of mature RF hardware to system program offices for flight development
Survey state of the art RF technologies and provide technical recommendations to help guide IC customer for future RF technology development strategy and roadmaps
Work closely with the IC customer supporting all phases of the acquisition strategy and process to include Requests for Proposal, Statements of Work, Requirements, Contract Data Requirements List and other required solicitation/contract documents
Support acquisition source selection activities as an advisor
Assist the IC customer with the oversight of technology development contracts and develop status briefings for government and industry
Interact with organizations to include DoD, NASA, National Labs and Universities to coordinate activities for maximum effect
Provide identification, assessment and resolution of risks during the acquisition phase and during program execution
Work with the IC customer to advance resiliency activities/initiatives in RF technology
