Description

SAIC is seeking a Mission Integration Engineer to provide SETA support on a high-visibility program supporting the NRO's Ground Enterprise Directorate (GED) in Aurora, CO.

This role sits at the center of enterprise-level acquisition, integration, and modernization efforts that shape how multi-INT collection is orchestrated to achieve National Security objectives. You will partner directly with government leaders and development contractors to design, evaluate, and deliver next-generation tools that automate and optimize collection management across the full system life cycle. All candidates must have an active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph.

This position combines hands-on engineering with high-visibility mission influence. You will:

• Architect advanced cross-program solutions that automate object custody; performing solution engineering, integrated architecture development, and operational integration of multi-INT tools and data that directly shape mission outcomes across the full breadth of the National Security enterprise.
• Shape future system planning to meet urgent National Security priorities by developing requirements, assessing design approaches, and providing oversight of development contractors to ensure alignment with mission needs.
• Provide specialized systems engineering and operations expertise supporting definition, development and integration of multi-intelligence (multi-INT) software capabilities.
• Assist and advise Government managers responsible for the complete end-to-end life cycle of the customer's Ground Enterprise.
• Apply experience with Joint/Combined military operations, systems engineering methods and creative thought-leadership to mature and develop mission solutions to pressing intelligence needs.

This role stands out because it places you at the intersection of mission impact, cutting-edge technology, and strategic influence. You'll operate in a cloud-forward, automation-driven environment, work directly with senior government stakeholders, and provide trusted SETA insight without vendor bias-giving you a unique vantage point to shape the future of multi-INT collection orchestration.

• Broad systems engineering exposure (e.g. system architecture and design, integration of system requirements, CONOPS development, systems verification to develop solutions.)
• Experience balancing development priorities, schedule, and risk to deliver mission capabilities.
• Understanding of current IC/DoD ISR architectures (GEOINT, SIGINT, OPIR, and/or MTI) and their planned employment across the TCPED cycle to achieve mission effects.
• Proven ability to work effectively and collaborate in a dynamic, fast paced team.
