SAIC seeks a Senior Software Engineer to integrate AI capabilities into expeditionary systems for the Navy, including sensor kits, unmanned systems, command & control, and TAK. The role spans hands-on development—maintaining Zenoh data mesh in Rust, building React frontends in JavaScript, integrating machine learning models, converting tactical message formats—and technical leadership with senior management. Required qualifications include 9+ years as a software engineer, data engineer, or data scientist; expert Python; intermediate Rust or Go; experience with containerization, event streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis, RabbitMQ, Zenoh), tactical data standardization, and data pipeline deployment. Successful candidates will collaborate with ML engineers, systems engineers, and field teams to ensure high-quality data flow and operational performance.

Lead a small embedded Linux software team building mission-critical aerial systems and autonomous platforms for defense applications. You'll split your time between team management (standups, architecture reviews, task prioritization) and hands-on C/C++ development of Linux daemons, REST APIs, and system services. Design for real-time performance, security hardening, and field operability while collaborating across autonomy, avionics, mechanical, and electrical teams. Own the full software lifecycle from architecture and CI/CD pipelines to documentation and field diagnostics.
