Systems Engineer Team Manager

SAIC is seeking a highly qualified Senior Systems Calibration Engineer Team Lead in Mayport, FL to provide onsite engineering, technical, and supervisory support to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) Code 534. The successful candidate will lead a team of technicians responsible for Shipboard Instrumentation System Calibration (SISCAL) services across Fleet platforms, while providing advanced engineering analysis, configuration management support, calibration procedure development, and technical leadership for emerging calibration technologies.

This position plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and readiness of Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) instrumentation systems supporting U.S. Navy surface ships and submarines.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical Leadership and Team Management

• Lead and supervise a team of five technicians supporting NSWCPD Code 534 calibration operations.
• Direct execution of onboard SISCAL calibration services for Calibration Activity 2 instrumentation associated with HM&E systems.
• Ensure calibration activities comply with Navy calibration requirements and the approved Calibration Requirements List (CRL).
• Coordinate technician workloads, quality assurance activities, and customer support requirements.

Shipboard Calibration Support

• Oversee calibration services performed through the Navy's Automated Work Request (AWR) process.
• Support Fleet-wide calibration requirements as tasked by NSWCPD Code 534.
• Provide technical guidance during shipboard calibration events and troubleshooting activities.
• Ensure calibration records and documentation are maintained in accordance with Navy standards.

New Construction and Modernization Support

• Assist with initial SISCAL visits for new construction ships.
• Conduct Installed Instrumentation Configuration Reviews (IICR) to verify instrumentation configurations and calibration requirements.
• Support calibration planning and configuration assessments for ship modernization and backfit alteration programs.

Engineering Analysis and System Calibration Procedure Development

• Perform detailed SISCAL engineering analyses for new construction and altered surface ships and submarines.
• Evaluate instrumentation configurations, system modifications, and calibration impacts resulting from design changes.
• Assess engineering documentation, platform baselines, and instrument inventories to validate calibration requirements.
• Develop, maintain, and update System Calibration Procedures (SCPs) to ensure alignment with as-configured platform baselines.
• Analyze shipboard system interfaces and calibration dependencies to enhance overall measurement system reliability.

Calibration Process Improvement

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives related to calibration processes, procedures, and technical guidance.
• Validate instrument inventories and calibration requirements against current platform configurations.
• Identify opportunities to improve lifecycle supportability and Fleet readiness through enhanced calibration management practices.

Calibration Standards Evaluation and Deployment

• Provide technical and logistics leadership for the evaluation, qualification, and deployment of new calibration standards.
• Assess measurement system performance, traceability requirements, calibration uncertainty, and operational suitability of emerging calibration technologies.
• Coordinate implementation strategies and logistics integration activities supporting Fleet metrology programs.
• Validate technical requirements and facilitate adoption of new calibration capabilities across supported platforms.
• Ensure successful integration of new standards into established calibration processes to improve measurement accuracy and operational effectiveness.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree and nine (9) years or more experience; years of experience accepted in lieu of degree.
• Must have an active SECRET clearance.
• Experience supporting Navy shipboard HM&E systems, calibration programs, or metrology operations.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical teams and managing workforce execution.
• Knowledge of shipboard instrumentation, configuration management, and calibration requirements.
• Experience developing engineering documentation, technical procedures, and system analyses.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
