SAIC • Indiana, Indiana • 3h ago

Description

SAIC is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to serve as an In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) in support of hypersonic weapons systems deployed aboard the Zumwalt-class DDG-1000 destroyer and Virginia-class submarines. This position plays a critical role in ensuring operational readiness, technical integrity, and lifecycle sustainment of cutting-edge hypersonic strike capabilities.

As an ISEA, you will serve as a key technical authority bridging the gap between the engineering baseline and fleet operations. You will work collaboratively with Fleet Support Representatives, government program offices, and cross-functional engineering teams to ensure delivered systems align with system and subsystem requirements throughout their operational lifecycle.

NOTE: This position is 100% remote/work from home. Monthly travel to Crane, IN is required.

What You'll Do:

Serve as a primary In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for hypersonic weapons systems, providing mechanical engineering expertise across the full sustainment lifecycle.

Review, develop, and maintain technical manuals to ensure accuracy, completeness, and alignment with current system configurations.

Develop and process Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), ensuring proposed changes are technically sound, properly documented, and traceable to system/subsystem requirements.

Perform configuration management activities, maintaining the integrity of the engineering baseline and ensuring delivered hardware and software configurations are accurately tracked and documented.

Author and update redline drawings, incorporating approved engineering changes and ensuring as-built configurations are accurately reflected.

Develop and review Independent Logistics Assessment (ILA) documents to support fleet readiness and sustainment planning.

Write clear and concise risk statements, identifying technical risks and recommending mitigation strategies to program leadership and government customers.

Participate in and support Change Control Boards (CCBs), presenting engineering changes, responding to technical inquiries, and ensuring proper disposition of action items.

Collaborate closely with Fleet Support Representatives to address fleet-identified issues, document discrepancies, and drive timely engineering resolutions.

Ensure alignment between delivered systems and applicable system/subsystem specifications, identifying and resolving gaps or non-conformances.

Support technical reviews, audits, and program milestones as required by the government customer.

Coordinate with multi-disciplinary engineering teams, logistics personnel, and government stakeholders to support overall program objectives.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline plus two (2) years of relevant mechanical engineering or engineering related experience.

Experience with technical manual development and review in a DoD or naval environment.

Demonstrated experience developing Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and supporting configuration management processes.

Familiarity with naval weapons systems, shipboard mechanical systems, or related defense platforms.

Experience participating in or supporting Change Control Boards (CCBs).

Proficiency in redline drawing development and engineering drawing interpretation.

Strong technical writing skills with experience authoring risk statements, engineering assessments, and logistics documents.

Ability to work effectively with Fleet Support Representatives and government customers.

Interim secret clearance required to start with the ability to obtain a secret clearance. SAIC will sponsor the clearance process.

Ability to travel up to 10%.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience supporting NSWC Crane or other Navy offices.

Demonstrated experience in an ISEA, sustainment, or lifecycle engineering role.

Familiarity with hypersonic weapons systems, strike weapons, or advanced naval weapons programs.

Experience with DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class or Virginia-class submarine platforms.

Knowledge of MIL-SPEC standards, NAVSEA technical documentation requirements, and DoD configuration management policies (e.g., EIA-649, MIL-HDBK-61).

Experience developing or reviewing Independent Logistics Assessment (ILA) documents.

Experience with Navy Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) development.

Familiarity with NAVAIR/NAVSEA acquisition and sustainment processes.

Experience with PTC Windchill, Navy Model Based Product Support (MBPS), or other PLM/configuration management tools.

Target salary range: $60,001 - $100,000. The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors.
