Job Description

SAIC is seeking a highly experienced Computer Engineer to provide senior-level technical leadership for the design, acquisition, integration, and deployment of hardware and computing solutions supporting mission-critical operations. This role will lead efforts to develop and field enterprise and edge computing infrastructure, including innovative solutions that are not currently available within existing environments. The candidate will work closely with integration teams, emerging technology platforms, engineering organizations, and operational stakeholders to develop mission-ready solutions that address physical and deployment constraints through small-form-factor computing, mobile servers, workstations, and related hardware technologies. The role requires strong computer engineering expertise, technical leadership, hardware lifecycle management, and the ability to deliver reliable computing solutions across geographically distributed environments.

THIS IS AN ONSITE ROLE IN SAN DIEGO, CA. WITH UP TO 10% OF CONUS/OCONUS TRAVEL INVOLVED.

JOB DUTIES:

  • Lead the design, evaluation, acquisition, integration, and deployment of computing hardware and supporting software solutions for enterprise, edge, and mission-focused environments.
  • Lead and coordinate teams of engineers responsible for acquiring, building, configuring, integrating, testing, installing, and sustaining hardware and software solutions at government locations.
  • Develop innovative computing solutions for emerging operational requirements by evaluating small-form-factor computers, mobile servers, workstations, edge computing platforms, and other technologies to address physical and deployment constraints.
  • Support the design and redesign of IT and hardware architectures, including new system implementations, field changes, technology refreshes, upgrades, hardware replacements, and integration with existing infrastructure.
  • Manage engineering schedules, technical tasks, dependencies, hardware acquisition activities, and integration milestones to ensure systems are delivered in accordance with customer and operational requirements.
  • Manage equipment inventories by maintaining hardware accountability, configuration information, lifecycle status, deployment information, and planning inputs for replacement or modernization.
  • Develop and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including hardware designs, system configurations, bills of material, installation procedures, maintenance procedures, technical specifications, and configuration records.
  • Provide senior-level technical guidance to engineers, integration teams, program stakeholders, and operational personnel while troubleshooting complex hardware, software, infrastructure, and system integration challenges.
  • Plan and execute system installations, upgrades, technology refreshes, and new capability implementations while ensuring solutions meet applicable technical, cybersecurity, interoperability, and industry requirements.

  • Experience developing and maintaining detailed technical documentation for hardware designs, configurations, installation, maintenance, and sustainment activities.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with demonstrated ability to collaborate on complex technical challenges across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to provide technical direction and communicate engineering recommendations, risks, tradeoffs, and status to technical, program, and operational stakeholders.

DESIRED SKILLS:

  • Experience supporting Navy, Department of War, government, or other mission-critical operational environments.
  • Operational experience supporting active-duty military customers and fielded capabilities at government or military installations.
  • Experience supporting complex distributed computing environments, edge infrastructure, or other mission-focused technology platforms.
  • Experience designing computing solutions around physical constraints, including small-form-factor computers, mobile servers, ruggedized workstations, edge computing systems, and deployable infrastructure.
  • Experience integrating computing hardware with emerging technology platforms, sensors, networks, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or other mission-focused platforms.
  • Experience with enterprise and edge server technologies, embedded computing, GPUs, high-performance computing hardware, virtualization, containerized workloads, or other mission-focused compute architectures.
  • Experience performing hardware trade studies, component evaluations, technical assessments, compatibility analysis, or make/buy recommendations for emerging computing requirements.
  • Experience managing technical equipment inventories, hardware configurations, asset lifecycle information, technology refresh planning, and End-of-Life considerations.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
