Description

SAIC is seeking a System Safety Engineer to provide critical safety engineering analysis and support for the Submarine Launched Cruise Missile - Nuclear (SLCM-N) development program. This advanced role involves integrating safety principles across the entire Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition lifecycle while adhering to MIL-STD-882E guidelines. The selected candidate will contribute to the design, development, and deployment phases of this next-generation weapons system, focusing on subsystem or whole-system safety, as required.

This role requires close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams consisting of engineers, program managers, and government stakeholders while also maintaining oversight of vendor activities. The candidate will work in a high-priority national defense environment, enabling safe and effective execution of a program critical to U.S. defense capabilities.

Note: The position supports remote, onsite, or hybrid work at NSWC Crane Division or DC Washington Naval Yard.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

System Safety Engineering Support:

Conduct safety engineering analyses, including but not limited to Preliminary Hazard Analyses (PHAs), System Hazard Analyses (SHAs), and Software Hazard Analyses (SOHAs).
Perform hazard identification, risk assessments, and mitigation planning to ensure compliance with MIL-STD-882E.
Develop safety requirements for subsystems such as mechanical components, software systems, and electrical designs.
Provide oversight and guidance for safety-related tasks performed by vendors and subcontractors to ensure alignment with program goals.

Lifecycle Safety Integration:

Integrate safety considerations across all stages of the DoD acquisition lifecycle: concept development, system design, production, testing, fielding, and sustainment.
Collaborate with design teams to ensure safety requirements are fully addressed during system architecture development.
Apply industry best practices such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using tools like CAMEO and/or requirements management tools like DOORS.

Documentation and Reporting:

Prepare and maintain documentation of hazard analyses, risk assessments, and safety test results for program-level reviews.
Deliver comprehensive safety engineering reports and presentations to internal stakeholders and DoD leadership.
Create technical documentation for weapon systems safety certification and approval.

Program Support and Compliance:

Support program safety reviews, audits, and field evaluations to assess compliance with applicable standards.
Collaborate with acquisition teams to ensure adherence to DoD policy on lifecycle safety.
Provide recommendations for programmatic improvements to enhance operational safety and efficiency.

Qualifications

REQUIRED EDUCATION:

Bachelor's degree (minimum) in engineering, physics, or mathematics. Relevant disciplines include:
- Systems Engineering (preferred for lifecycle safety integration).
- Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering (preferred for vehicle/system component safety).
- Electrical/Computer Engineering (preferred for control systems and radar designs).
- Software Engineering (preferred for safety-critical software and autonomy systems).
- Industrial Engineering (preferred for process/risk management).

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE/SKILLS:

Minimum five (5) years of experience in system safety analysis, hazard/risk assessments, or lifecycle safety engineering roles.
Interim clearance required to start with the ability to obtain a secret clearance. SAIC will sponsor the clearance process.
Strong working knowledge of MIL-STD-882E (DoD Standard Practice for System Safety), including its application in system acquisition processes.
Hands-on experience with MBSE tools like CAMEO or requirements management tools such as DOORS is highly valued.
Expertise in safety standards, hazard analysis, and mitigation techniques.
Demonstrated capability in technical writing, including system safety documentation and reporting skills.
Knowledge of DoD acquisition processes or equivalent training (e.g., ACQ 101).
Proficiency in tools such as Microsoft Office Suite and modeling/simulation software.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Associate Safety Professional (ASP), or Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH).
Specialized training in system safety engineering or advanced DoD acquisition safety coursework is highly desirable.

Target salary range: $80,001 - $120,000. The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors.
