Description

SAIC is seeking a highly skilled Radar Engineer to join our elite team supporting Landmark AOS, SAIC’s flagship Prime SETA program in Chantilly, VA.

• Advise senior government leadership on architectural decisions, investment strategies, acquisition priorities, and risk assessments that shape the future of the Ground Enterprise.
• Engage directly with development clients, providing oversight of software development, integration activities, and compliance with government requirements and mission objectives.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of Systems Engineers, Acquisition Experts, and Domain Specialists to guide the acquisition of modern, scalable mission processing applications.
• Lead strategic planning efforts, including technical trade studies, future architecture definition, and recommendations for software services and enterprise modernization.
