Description

SAIC is seeking a seasoned Lead Satellite SETA to support a highly dynamic and innovative national security space program office in Chantilly, VA, serving the Intelligence Community. In this role, you will be the primary technical and programmatic advisor to a Government Division Chief, leading the SETA team that oversees satellite unit and subsystem design, development, integration, and delivery. This position offers direct influence on mission-critical space capabilities of national importance, high visibility with senior government leadership, and the opportunity to shape next-generation satellite architectures.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Serve as the trusted technical and programmatic advisor to the Division Chief, providing informed recommendations on satellite architecture, design trades, development strategies, risk posture, and acquisition decisions.
Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary SETA team, including managing workload, setting priorities, and developing staff to ensure high-quality technical support to the government.
Oversee and coordinate integration across space vehicles, payload, ground segment, AI&T, and systems engineering divisions to ensure end-to-end mission success and system-of-systems coherence.
Evaluate prime contractor performance at major milestones (PDR, CDR, integration reviews, test readiness, delivery), assessing compliance with technical requirements, quality of deliverables, and schedule/cost objectives.
Identify and articulate program risks, issues, and opportunities; drive mitigation strategies, technical trade studies, and course-of-action analyses for leadership decision-making.
Plan, run, and facilitate Division staff meetings and technical forums, fostering effective communication, alignment, and collaboration across government and contractor stakeholders.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field and 20+ years of relevant experience; or a Master's degree and 15+ years of relevant experience. If no degree, 4 additional years of experience can be substituted for the Bachelor's degree.
Strong satellite systems engineering background, including experience with spacecraft buses, payloads, subsystems, and/or end-to-end space system architectures.
Demonstrated experience supporting major government acquisition programs (DoD, Intelligence Community, or NASA), including participation in major decision reviews and milestone processes.
Proven ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts and programmatic issues to senior government stakeholders, both verbally and in writing.
Demonstrated experience leading, mentoring, or managing technical teams in a government/contractor/SETA environment.

Clearance Requirements:

Active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance with polygraph is required.

Preferred Qualifications:

Advanced degree in aerospace engineering, systems engineering, electrical engineering, or related technical discipline.
Experience with the full lifecycle of national security space systems, from concept development and requirements definition through design, integration and test, launch, and on-orbit operations.
Direct experience with Intelligence Community or NRO-like satellite programs, including familiarity with IC acquisition processes, mission assurance, and security requirements.
Strong interpersonal, leadership, and team-building skills with a proven track record of effectiveness in mixed government/contractor teams.
Experience assessing technical baselines, supporting configuration/change control boards, and driving resolution of complex technical issues.
Background in high-reliability or mission-critical systems, or experience in rapidly evolving, high-tempo program office environments.

Physical Requirements:

Ability to work on-site daily in a secure, office-based environment in Chantilly, VA.
Ability to attend in-person meetings, briefings, and reviews, including occasional movement between buildings/facilities within the local area.
Ability to work at a computer, participate in meetings, and conduct technical reviews for extended periods.
