SAIC is seeking a Systems Engineer Associate to join and support our dynamic team in Panama City Beach, Florida.

This work will be performed on site in Panama City Beach, Florida.

This is an excellent opportunity to grow your career while supporting multiple Navy projects of varying complexity. We are seeking motivated individuals eager to gain entry-level engineering experience in a collaborative environment with opportunities for professional development.

As an engineering team member, you will

Apply your technical skills and aptitudes to solve problems, support project requirements, and grow as a systems engineer. You will gain exposure to the entire systems engineering lifecycle and play a role in the development, integration, and sustainment of critical Navy systems.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to

• Support the development and documentation of system requirements using Digital Engineering (DE) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and principles.
• Perform requirements analysis, functional decomposition, and interface definition for complex hardware/software systems operating in real-time, safety-critical environments.
• Support the development and maintenance of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Requirement Specifications (IRS) for multi-subsystem architectures involving embedded computing, networking, and physical I/O.
• Collaborate with team members to ensure system components integrate seamlessly into the larger architecture.
• Conduct trade studies and feasibility assessments to evaluate design alternatives ( including hardware selection, network topology, and data distribution approaches) and recommend optimal solutions.
• Support verification and validation (V&V) planning and execution, including the development of test procedures, test reports, and acceptance criteria for hardware and software components.
• Participate in system-level design reviews and verification/validation activities.
• Work with cross-functional teams across mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems as well as cybersecurity to ensure proper integration and performance of distributed system architectures.
• Identify, assess, and manage project and system risks, including mitigation planning and risk reporting throughout the system lifecycle.
• Provide technical insight to support troubleshooting and resolution of issues during development, production, and fielding phases.
• Prepare reports, presentations, and technical deliverables for internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to the review and refinement of technical documents to ensure quality, accuracy, and completeness.
• Monitor program schedules and provide regular updates on technical progress to leadership and program managers.

• Ability to understand and work with cyber physical systems
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with an ability to balance multiple tasks and competing priorities in dynamic environments
• Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)

• Foundational understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements development, functional decomposition, interface definition, and verification and validation
• Exposure to MBSE tools such as Cameo, or Enterprise Architect
• Understanding of risk management principles, including risk identification, assessment, mitigation planning, and monitoring
• Knowledge of SysML (Systems Modeling Language) for representing system architecture and requirements in MBSE environments
• Knowledge of CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD, or CREO)
• Familiarity with military specifications, standards, or commercial development best practices
• Familiarity with embedded systems and hardware/software integration concepts, including digital and analog I/O, serial communication buses (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, RS-422/485), and sensor/actuator interfacing
• Experience working in collaborative, team-based environments
• Familiarity with systems concepts such as requirements…
