About The Position

SAIC is seeking a Field Service Engineer / Team Lead to support the Advanced
Battle Management System (ABMS) Digital Infrastructure (DI) Network program in
support of the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Program Executive Officer for
Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management (PEO C3BM). This
position is responsible for leading and synchronizing all aspects of site survey
execution in direct support of the ABMS DI Network—the backbone of the DAF
Battle Network and the Air Force’s contribution to the DoD’s Combined Joint
All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) warfighting concept.

The ABMS DI Network is building a secure, resilient, multi-enclave digital
infrastructure that connects warfighters from the tactical edge to the strategic
enterprise, spanning Unclassified through TS/SCI security domains across space,
air, land, maritime, and information operations environments. As Team Lead, you
will serve as the primary on‑the‑ground coordinator, transforming engineering
designs into operational network capability delivered to warfighters on
quarterly release cycles.

Positions available in Reston, VA and San Diego, CA.

Responsibilities

• Lead and synchronize all aspects of site survey execution, serving as the primary point of contact for coordinating team logistics, travel itineraries, and on-site operations across DoD installations and operational sites.
• Serve as the primary briefer and report author, preparing and delivering professional presentations and written reports to base leadership, local commanders, and senior DoD stakeholders on survey findings, site readiness, and deployment status.
• Coordinate across a complex, multi‑stakeholder environment, interfacing with internal engineering teams, external DI Network performers, base infrastructure personnel, warfighters, and the ABMS Program Management Office (PMO).
• Lead the survey and deployment team through technical and operational gaps, addressing deficiencies across network engineering, logistics, or operational domains as mission demands.
• Support the PMO and Design Work Package (WP) team as required, providing ground‑truth site data and operational insights that inform DI Network release planning and design decisions.
• Manage competing priorities across multiple concurrent site surveys, maintaining schedule discipline and quality standards within an agile delivery environment operating on quarterly release cycles.
