Description

SAIC is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Nuclear Surety Engineer to provide critical support to one of the Department of Defense'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 and sustainment of the U.S. Air Force's land-based strategic deterrent, ensuring its safety, security, and operational readiness well into the 21st century.

The Sentinel ICBM Program is a large-scale, multi-faceted initiative to replace the aging LGM-30G Minuteman III weapon system. Modernization efforts involve the design, certification, and deployment of advanced nuclear-capable missile systems, along with upgraded infrastructure, command and control, and support systems. As a Nuclear Surety Engineer, you will leverage your systems engineering background to help ensure these systems meet the highest nuclear safety, reliability, and certification standards.

Your Role and Responsibilities

Conduct comprehensive systems engineering analyses of nuclear weapon and delivery systems to ensure compliance with nuclear surety requirements.
Analyze system designs, operational concepts, and performance data to assess adherence to nuclear safety and surety regulations, including AFI 63-125 and 91 Series AFIs.
Support the development, review, and verification of nuclear certification artifacts to ensure safety and reliability standards are met.
Identify and mitigate technical risks, providing recommendations to address safety and security challenges.
Oversee technical aspects throughout the lifecycle of nuclear certification and sustainment efforts, ensuring adherence to program objectives.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, program offices, government stakeholders, and external partners to drive progress in systems development.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree (BS) in engineering, physics, computer science, mathematics, or a related technical field with a minimum of 3 years of systems engineering experience
Active DoD Secret Clearance
Familiarity with systems engineering principles and practices, ideally as applied to military systems or DoD programs.
An interest in learning about nuclear certification processes and documentation, including AFI 63-125 and 91 Series Air Force Instructions (AFIs) governing nuclear surety and safety operations.
Basic understanding of military hardware or software systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

Prior experience or exposure to Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) or other nuclear-capable systems is a plus but not required.
Basic knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools, such as CAMEO Systems Modeler, DOORS, or other system modeling software, is a bonus but not mandatory.
