Mission Integration Engineer

Description
SAIC is seeking a Mission Integration Engineer to provide SETA support on a high-visibility program supporting the NRO's Ground Enterprise Directorate (GED) in Aurora, CO.
This role sits at the center of enterprise-level acquisition, integration, and modernization efforts that shape how multi-INT collection is orchestrated to achieve National Security objectives. You will partner directly with government leaders and development contractors to design, evaluate, and deliver next-generation tools that automate and optimize collection management across the full system life cycle.
