We bring deep expertise in engineering, securing, integrating, and deploying mission-critical technologies that enable operational decision advantage. Working alongside operators, engineers, Capability Providers, and government stakeholders, SAIC helps accelerate the delivery of interoperable capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness.\nSAIC is seeking a Systems Engineer - Data Integration & Interoperability to lead the design, implementation, and evolution of data exchange solutions across a complex ecosystem of mission systems, sensors, services, and external partners. This individual will serve as the program's technical authority for data interoperability and Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI) implementation, ensuring information is accurately exchanged, transformed, routed, and consumed across internal and external interfaces.\nThe successful candidate will work across systems engineering, architecture, cyber, integration, test, cloud, and external stakeholders to define interface requirements, implement interoperability standards, troubleshoot complex data exchange challenges, and enable rapid integration of operational capabilities. Particular emphasis is placed on UCI-based integrations, OMS-aligned architectures, machine-to-machine interoperability, and the reliable exchange of operational mission data supporting command and control, ISR, and battle management functions.\nJob Duties Include\nDefine, document, and maintain data exchange requirements, interface specifications, and interoperability standards.\nLead development and implementation of data integration and interoperability solutions across mission systems and external partners.\nDevelop and maintain mappings between operational data exchanges, UCI messages, OMS interfaces, and external system interfaces.\nAnalyze, map, and troubleshoot mission-system data exchanges, ensuring operational data is accurately translated, transformed, routed, and consumed across interconnected systems and interfaces.\nSupport integration of operational data sources and products including UCI-based services, tactical data links, MTI products, NITF imagery, FMV, and related mission-system interfaces.\nCollaborate with architecture, cyber, cloud, integration, and test teams to ensure interoperability requirements are incorporated throughout the system lifecycle.\nSupport development and review of ICDs, EICDs, interface requirements, message mappings, and data exchange documentation.\nAnalyze impacts of schema updates, interface changes, new data sources, and evolving interoperability requirements.\nSupport architecture, design, and implementation of message brokers, middleware, data translation services, and interoperability frameworks.\nTroubleshoot interoperability issues during integration, testing, exercises, demonstrations, and operational events.\nSupport Architecture Review Boards (ARBs), Engineering Working Groups (EWGs), Change Control Boards (CCBs), and interface governance activities.\nIdentify opportunities to improve interoperability, data quality, automation, and scalability across the ecosystem.\n Required Qualifications:\nTS/SCI and US citizenship.\nBachelor’s and 14+ years of experience; OR Master’s and 12+ years; OR PhD/JD and 9+ years.\nExperience supporting system integration, data integration, interoperability, or systems engineering activities within DoD or Intelligence Community environments.\nExperience developing interface specifications, data exchanges, schemas, message definitions, or interoperability standards.\nExperience supporting machine-to-machine integrations, messaging technologies, APIs, middleware, brokers, or service-oriented architectures.\nExperience troubleshooting interoperability, integration, or data exchange issues across distributed systems.\nDesired Qualifications and Experience:\nExperience with UCI, OMS, XML, JSON, message schemas, service contracts, or related interoperability standards.\nExperience supporting command and control, battle management, ISR, air operations, space operations, or similar mission systems.\nExperience working with operational mission data and interfaces such as Link 16, VMF, IBS/CIB, MTI, NITF, FMV, or similar mission-system products.\nExperience with middleware and messaging technologies such as Kafka, ActiveMQ, DDS, AMQP, MQTT, NiFi, or similar platforms.\nExperience supporting ICDs, EICDs, interface governance, architecture reviews, or interoperability working groups.\nFamiliarity with cloud-native architectures, DevSecOps, CI/CD, and Agile engineering environments.\"","description_format":"text","description_chars":4681,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":14,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
