Logistics Principal

SAIC•Reston, VA

About The Position

SAIC is seeking an experienced and highly capable Logistics Principal to support the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Digital Infrastructure (DI) Network Designer & Deployer program in support of the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management (PEO C3BM). The ABMS DI Network is the backbone of the DAF BATTLE NETWORK — the Air Force's contribution to the DoD's Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) warfighting concept. This program is delivering a secure, resilient, multi-enclave digital infrastructure spanning Unclassified through TS/SCI security domains, integrating cutting-edge commercial and government technologies including cloud computing, SD-WAN, Enterprise Cross Domain Solutions, Data Distribution Networks, Scalable Transport, and Data Link Integration Modules across global operational sites. As a Logistics Principal, you will serve as the senior logistics authority for the ABMS DI Network program — architecting and executing the end-to-end integrated logistics strategy that ensures the right equipment, software, and services are procured, tracked, delivered, and sustained across a globally distributed network of fixed and deployed operational sites. Your work is mission-critical: the warfighters and operators depending on the ABMS DI Network cannot fight and win without the logistics backbone you will build and manage.
