Position Description:

SAIC is seeking a Senior EW Systems Engineer to support the Expeditionary Electromagnetic Warfare Division at NSWC Crane. This position supports the integration of critical communication, force protection, and electromagnetic spectrum capabilities into Navy and DoD mission systems. Ultimately, by systematically identifying technical risks and managing Engineering Change Proposals, the role guarantees that EW assets remain resilient, compatible, and operationally dominant against evolving adversary threats.

Job Responsibilities:

• Analyze operational needs and develop, allocate, validate, and maintain system/subsystem requirements and traceability.
• Support system architectures, functional baselines, design alternatives, and technical trade studies.
• Develop and review Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and coordinate hardware, software, network, data, and subsystem interfaces.
• Support laboratory and field integration and resolve interface, performance, and compatibility issues.
• Define verification methods and acceptance criteria and support test plans, procedures, verification matrices, and reports.
• Participate in technical reviews including SRR, SFR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and production-readiness reviews.
• Identify and track technical risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, root causes, and corrective actions.
• Evaluate Engineering Change Proposals, deviations, waivers, and design changes for impacts to requirements, interfaces, test, logistics, cybersecurity, production, and sustainment.
• Prepare specifications, engineering reports, technical assessments, briefings, decision papers, and related documentation.
• Support lifecycle activities involving reliability, maintainability, supportability, obsolescence, fielding, and sustainment.

Qualifications

Education Level: Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related engineering discipline.

Required Qualifications:

• 5-7 years of relevant systems engineering, system integration, requirements management, acquisition engineering, test and evaluation, or related experience.
• Experience developing and managing requirements and requirements traceability.
  Experience with system architecture, interfaces, integration, verification, validation, or qualification.
• Ability to translate operational needs into technical requirements and engineering solutions.
• Experience preparing technical products such as specifications, ICDs, requirements documents, engineering reports, verification matrices, and test documentation.
• Experience identifying technical risks and developing mitigation or corrective-action recommendations.
• Strong analytical, technical-writing, briefing, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI security clearance. A minimum of an Interim Secret clearance is required to start work.

Desired Qualifications:

• DoD, Navy, NAVSEA, NSWC Crane, Army product-manager, or comparable acquisition-program experience.
• PdM FITE, force protection, Electronic Warfare, communications, or mission-system experience.
• Familiarity with the DoD acquisition lifecycle and systems-engineering technical reviews.
• Experience with IBM DOORS, Jama, Cameo, SysML, MBSE, or comparable requirements tools.
• Experience evaluating ECPs, deviations, waivers, and configuration changes.
