About The Position

SAIC is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to serve as the System Integration Office (SIO) Foundation Layer Subject Matter Expert supporting its team at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The role is 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) integrate into a cohesive, secure, combat-ready intelligence enterprise.

The SME provides technical expertise and integration leadership across Army and joint intelligence systems. The position develops integration requirements, interface standards, and operational concepts; coordinates software and system integration across organizations; and advises INSCOM G7 leadership on technical risks and modernization. The role also ensures intelligence discipline systems align with IC/DoD data standards so information from disparate sources can be queried, correlated, and exploited globally.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree and at least 9 years of experience, or a master’s degree and at least 7 years of experience, or a Ph.D. or JD and at least 4 years of experience.
• Deep technical understanding of Army intelligence computing environments, including 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.
• Track record of 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 in clear, mission-focused terms for 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 such as 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, so future capabilities 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 actionable recommendations and technical risk assessments through white papers and Army memoranda concerning data-fabric modernization, AI/ML integration, and legacy-system decommissioning.
• Oversee alignment of intelligence discipline systems with IC/DoD data standards so data from SIGINT, GEOINT, and OSINT sources can be queried, correlated, and exploited globally.
