Description
SAIC is seeking a Radio Frequency (RF) Systems Engineer. This position provides systems engineering and technical advisory (SETA) services to a customer within the Intelligence Community (IC) working in Chantilly, VA. This customer is responsible for research and development (R&D) of technologies as well as technology maturation required prior to acquiring national security-related space-based systems. This position is an opportunity to apply your knowledge and expertise to state-of-the-art technologies to advance and bring new mission capabilities to National Space Programs. You will provide programmatic and technical support to an IC customer responsible for maturation of SIGINT technologies, which span the spectrum from applied research to demonstrated capabilities suitable for transition into system program baselines and advanced future systems. These efforts will influence the next generation of SIGINT space systems.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Provide programmatic and technical support to customer leaders and staff as part of a small SETA team. Plan and execute technology maturation through the R&D lifecycle
- Translate architecture needs into detailed system and subsystem needs and technical requirements.
- Provide technical and theoretical assessment of prospective SIGINT technologies to IC and DoD customers
- Work closely with the IC customer supporting all phases of the acquisition process to include Broad Agency Announcement Area of Interest, Requests for Proposal, Statements of Work, Requirements, Contract Data Requirements Lists and other required solicitation/contract documents.
- Support source selection activities and review proposals as a technical advisor
- Assist the IC customer with the oversight of technology development contracts and develop status briefings for government and industry
- Interact with outside organizations such as DoD, NASA, National Labs, and Universities to coordinate activities for maximum effect
- Assist with program management decisions, to include funding, within programs across fiscal years and portfolios
- 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 SIGINT technology
Qualifications
- Active TS/SCI clearance with Poly
Bachelor's degree in Physics, Engineering, Math or related discipline with 14+ years related experience, Master's degree in Physics, Engineering, Math or related discipline with 12 years related experience, or PhD in Physics, Engineering, Math or related discipline
Knowledge of SIGINT technologies
Experience with the IC acquisition process
Knowledge of leading edge technologies in SIGINT, such as: optical communications, digital signal processing, electronically scanned arrays, payload testing & characterization, and/or networking hardware and protocols
Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, and energetic environment.
Understanding and familiarity with RF and signal processing principles
Effective interpersonal skills and strong presentation and writing skills
Ability to express detailed technical concepts in a high level (senior staff level) briefing language
Aptitude for Systems Engineering and Technical Advisory (SETA) work on site with the customer
R&D project experience
Excellent skills in MS Office applications.
Desired Qualifications:
End-to-end technical knowledge of SIGINT architecture, systems, mission processing, and technologies. End-to-end knowledge of relevant systems lifecycle spanning conception, acquisition initiation, development, deployment and operations
5 years of experience with government or IC acquisition processes
In depth knowledge of signals, waveforms, and real data environments
Experience and ability to coordinate within and across DoD or IC R&D and acquisition organizations
SAIC accepts applications on an ongoing basis and there is no deadline.
Covid Policy: SAIC does not require COVID-19 vaccinations or boosters. Customer site vaccination requirements must be followed when work is performed at a customer site.
