Job Description

SAIC's Horizon 2 program is seeking our latest Configuration Management System Engineer to work a reconnaissance satellite system for the US Space Force in El Segundo, CA. This is an exciting position assists the United States Space Force in a state-of-the-art reconnaissance system necessary to meet warfighter needs over the next 5-10 years. You will serve as a subject matter expert in support to the U.S. Space Force (USSF) in developing and deploying warfighter capabilities within the Program Executive Office's Space Domain Awareness and Combat Power portfolio. As our Configuration Management Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for defining, implementing, and enforcing configuration control processes across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and integration teams. You will ensure that as‑designed, as‑planned, and as‑built configurations align at every stage, maintaining integrity of hardware, software, and documentation. You will interact and coordinate daily with numerous stakeholders (Program Managers, Contracting Officers, System Engineers, and external/partner organizations).

Fun stuff on the job you will do:

  • Defining Baseline Architectures for the spacecraft, payload, and ground segments (e.g., Functional, Allocated, and Product Baselines).
  • Creating a Configuration Item (CI) tree to break down the satellite into trackable subsystems (e.g., power, telemetry, propulsion).
  • Assigning unique identifiers and serial numbers to flight hardware and software.
  • Managing Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and Deviations/Waivers.
  • Running the Configuration Control Board (CCB), where program leadership, engineering, and safety review proposed changes to the system baseline.
  • Assessing the impacts of proposed changes on cost, schedule, risk, and interface requirements (e.g., payload-to-bus interfaces).
  • Recording and reporting the continuous status of all proposed and approved baselines, ECPs, and variances.
  • Tracking "As-Built" vs. "As-Designed" configurations to ensure that what is flying on the rocket exactly matches the engineering drawings.
  • Conducting Functional Configuration Audits (FCA) to verify that the hardware/software meets its performance specifications.
  • Conducting Physical Configuration Audits (PCA) to verify that the physical unit matches the technical documentation prior to shipment to the launch site.

Qualifications

This is you:

  • Bachelors Degree with at least 9+ years in CM, Product Lifecycle Management, or Systems Engineering within aerospace, defense, or complex hardware programs
  • Must have an in-scope security background investigation (TS or SSBI), adjudicated for SCI eligibility and enrolled in the Continuous Evaluation program (if applicable)
  • Must be willing to be nominated for access to Sensitive Compartment Information and Special Access Programs and willing to consent to a Polygraph examination

Why it works

3×

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.
