Mechanical Engineer

SAIC is seeking an exceptional Mechanical Engineer to provide high-quality delivery of infrastructure projects to one of the Department of War’s most complex and vital acquisition efforts – the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Program. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the modernization of the U.S. Air Force’s land-based strategic deterrent, ensuring its operational readiness and sustainability well into the 21st century.

The Sentinel ICBM Program is a massive, multi-faceted initiative to replace the aging LGM-30G Minuteman III weapon system. This career-defining program involves designing and integrating advanced ballistic missile systems, refurbishing or replacing key infrastructure, and fielding state-of-the-art command, control, and support systems. You will work both independently and collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to achieve program objectives in a high-impact national security environment.

Your Role and Responsibilities

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will serve as a subject matter expert, conducting detailed technical reviews of engineering designs to ensure compliance with standards, engineering principles, and Sentinel-specific requirements. Your role will focus on providing deep technical analysis and oversight throughout the engineering lifecycle of Sentinel infrastructure projects.

• Provide Technical Oversight: Serve as a key technical authority during all phases of Sentinel infrastructure projects, from design and review through to construction and implementation.
• Conduct Technical Reviews: Perform rigorous assessments of designs prepared by Architect-Engineer (A/E) firms against engineering principles, industry codes, and Sentinel-specific guidelines.
• Ensure Design Compliance: Validate that designs and deliverables adhere to all applicable engineering principles, commercial/military standards, and mission requirements for technically complex projects.
• Analyze and Mitigate Technical Risks: Identify potential engineering risks during the design and implementation process and recommend specific technical mitigation strategies.
• Collaborate on Technical Solutions: Work within a multidisciplinary team to deliver engineering solutions, presenting complex technical information to diverse stakeholders.
