SAIC is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to provide direct onsite engineering and technical support to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division ( NSWCPD) Shipboard Instrumentation and System Calibration (SISCAL) Program, Code 534. This role is integral to supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission by conducting Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) analyses on shipboard instrumentation and control systems to optimize calibration workloads. The ideal candidate possesses strong technical expertise, analytical capability, and hands-on engineering experience to support shipboard instrumentation, calibration systems, and related processes across the fleet.
Job Responsibilities:
- Perform Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) analyses on shipboard instrumentation and control systems to optimize calibration workload.
- Develop and maintain Calibration Requirements Lists (CRLs).
- Create and update calibration procedures for permanently installed instrumentation and shipboard machinery control systems.
- Review new machinery/system designs and modifications to assess calibration impacts.
- Analyze Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) system metrics where instrument calibration influences performance or maintenance outcomes.
- Conduct calibration interval analyses and adjust calibration periodicities for selected instrumentation.
- Review Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and Alterations Equivalent to Repairs (AERs) for calibration-related considerations.
- Provide technical guidance for waivers, deviations, and departures from specification requirements.
- Identify new technologies and processes that reduce "time-to-cal" and lower equipment Total Ownership Cost (TOC).
- Respond to high-visibility technical issues requiring rapid assessment and engineering expertise.
- Support key Navy initiatives, including:
- Troubled Systems Process
- Maintenance Effectiveness Reviews
- Engineering for Reduced Maintenance
- Cumbersome Work Practices
- Capital Investment for Labor
- Establish technical specification requirements for SISCAL standards.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering or a related discipline (Mechanical, Electrical, Naval Engineering, or similar fields).
- Must have a SECRET clearance.
- Must be a U.S. Citizen.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with proven ability to manage complex technical projects.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills; experience working in collaborative, cross-functional environments.
- Familiarity with naval systems, ship configurations, and test/calibration procedures.
- Relevant engineering experience within military, naval, or defense environments.
- Experience with ISO 9001:2015 or similar quality management systems.
