External Engagement Lead

SAIC • Chantilly, VA • 4h ago

Description

SAIC is a trusted leader in delivering advanced command and control capabilities across the Department of the Air Force, bringing deep expertise in how cutting edge technologies are engineered, secured, and delivered to the fight. At the center of this mission, the Common Mission Control Center (CMCC) unifies data, sensors, mission applications, cloud based services, and emerging AI enabled automation to give warfighters a decisive edge-turning complex, multidomain information into fast, clear, and actionable decisions in the moments that matter most. The CMCC System Facilitator contract positions SAIC to accelerate how new capabilities are integrated, tested, secured, and transitioned into operational use, working side by side with operators, engineers, Capability Providers, and government teams to ensure every delivery strengthens mission readiness. This effort offers the chance to directly shape how the Air Force sees, decides, and acts across all domains-making a tangible and immediate impact on warfighter effectiveness.

SAIC is seeking an Externals Engagement Lead (EEL) to serve as the front door integrator and primary engagement lead for all external systems, data sources, and user communities seeking connection to CMCC. This position provides a holistic interface role responsible for tracking, prioritizing, onboarding, coordinating, and guiding externals through the CMCC System Integration Process (SIP). The EEL works across engineering, cyber, PMO, WLT, and government stakeholders to ensure external partners integrate successfully, support real-world operations, and meet exercise and mission objectives.

Job Duties include:

Serve as the primary entry point for all external systems, data sources, mission partners, and user communities seeking engagement with CMCC. Lead early discovery to define external mission needs, data flows, security posture, and integration objectives, and guide partners through the System Integration Process (SIP) and environment progression. Track all external integrations across their lifecycle, maintaining status, priorities, risks, and required actions while ensuring alignment with PMO defined priorities. Coordinate with CSF Systems Engineering, Integrator, Cyber, Architecture, Test, WLT, and Infrastructure teams to ensure external integrations align with the Technical Baseline and CCB/ARB governance. Ensure external systems are prepared for real-world operations, major exercises, demos, and test events, collaborating closely with operator focused stakeholders. Facilitate external participation in SIP ceremonies-including EIWG, Architecture Coordination, Requirements Coordination, and Environment CCBs-ensuring clarity of expectations and required artifacts. Provide technical oversight of interface definition by helping external partners supply inputs for EICD development (data @types, PPS, exchange methods, classification posture). Maintain long-term communication channels with assigned external partners, ensuring synchronized progress, issue resolution, and readiness for integration and operational use.
