About The Position

SAIC is seeking an Agile Project Engineer / Scrum Master to guide day to day Agile execution for CMCC engineering teams. Operating under the Agile Lead, this role provides team level Agile facilitation, sprint organization, and engineering workflow coordination. The Agile Project Engineer ensures sprint commitments align with System Integration Process (SIP) requirements, facilitating collaboration between software, integration, DSOP, cloud, test, and cyber teams to maintain predictable, high-quality delivery. 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.
