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.

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
