What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Engineer position at SAIC?
Description
SAIC is seeking a Chief Engineer to drive the technical vision for a Multi-Award IDIQ for Army Modern Software Delivery. The Army intends for this contract to be the easy button for all Army organizations to procure skilled Agile DevSecOps software development services. DoD contracts often impose milestone-oriented constraints that limit innovation and modern software practices. As the technical lead for this IDIQ, you will be paving the way for true Agile DevSecOps software delivery in the Army.
This position is contingent on the Multi-Award IDIQ award expected April 2025. Work will be conducted at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.
The Chief Engineer will work closely with the program manager and Government customers to shape technical requirements for incoming task orders. The chief engineer will also support, mentor, and train technical staff on all task orders to ensure execution excellence. While some of this work can be performed remotely, we expect the chief engineer to spend a significant amount of time at Aberdeen Proving Ground and other locations in the DC Metro Area. Up to 10% travel to other Army locations may also be required.
Key Responsibilities :
- Engage with Army organizations to inform technical requirements for Agile software development
- Shape customer Statements of Work (SOWs) to benefit SAIC in the competitive award of task orders
