About The Position

SAIC seeks a System Integration Office (SIO) Foundation Layer Subject Matter Expert to support its team at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The SME serves as the G7’s primary architect for systems interoperability, ensuring that specialized, multi-discipline analysis systems—including the Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP), Maven Smart System (MSS), and cloud-based analytics—and functional nodes such as the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) are integrated into a cohesive, secure, combat-ready intelligence enterprise.

The role provides technical expertise on foundation-layer systems, leads development and staffing of integration requirements and standards, coordinates software and system integration across Army and joint stakeholders, advises G7 leadership on modernization and technical risks, and ensures intelligence systems align with IC/DoD data standards. The position requires an active TS/SCI clearance and the ability to obtain a TS/SCI Poly.

• Deep technical understanding of Army intelligence computing environments, such as AIDP, MSS, and TITAN architecture.
• Expertise integrating intelligence discipline analysis systems, including SIGINT, GEOINT, OSINT, HUMINT, and MASINT, into unified workflows supporting targeting and force protection.
• Mastery of tactical data dissemination protocols, open-system APIs, and data broker/fabric architectures that enable sensor-to-shooter and intelligence-to-command-post connections.
• Demonstrated experience writing and staffing capability requirements for software-intensive systems, cloud hosting, and data analytics platforms.
• Ability to explain complex software architectures, data schemas, and network limitations clearly and in mission-focused terms to senior military decision-makers.
• Active TS/SCI clearance and ability to obtain TS/SCI Poly.

Responsibilities

• Serve as INSCOM G7’s primary technical expert on foundation-layer systems, including AIDP and TITAN, at GO/FO-level forums, PM IS&A reviews, and Joint/Army interoperability working groups.
• Lead the development, drafting, and staffing of integration requirements, interface standards, and operational concepts, including CDDs and ICDs, to support multi-discipline data fusion and target development.
• Synchronize software and system integration efforts with INSCOM G3, INSCOM G6, PM IS&A, and JADC2 partners to connect intelligence collection with fires and targeting networks.
• Provide INSCOM G7 leadership with feasible recommendations and technical risk assessments through white papers and Army memos on data fabric modernization, AI/ML integration, and legacy system decommissioning.
• Oversee alignment of individual intelligence discipline systems with IC/DoD data standards so information from disparate sources can be queried, correlated, and exploited globally.
