SAIC has an opening for a Mechanical Engineer to provide direct onsite engineering and technical support to the PMA-251 Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program office, with a primary focus on the French aircraft carrier program. This role supports the design, integration, testing, and sustainment of Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) mechanical and hydraulic systems, as well as related shipboard interfaces, components, and support structures. The engineer will work closely with NAVAIR, OEM and French DGA (Direction Générale de l’Armement) stakeholders to ensure electrical design, testing, and configuration align with and customer requirements.

Job Duties:

• Provide professional mechanical engineering support to the French carrier program, focusing on EMALS/AAG equipment design, integration, and lifecycle sustainment.
• Conduct feasibility analyses, structural and thermal evaluations, and system performance assessments for shipboard mechanical and hydraulic systems.
• Develop and review engineering drawings, design data, and interface control documents (ICDs) to ensure compliance with applicable naval standards and international requirements.
• Support installation planning, equipment layout optimization, and mounting interface design to integrate EMALS and AAG hardware into French carrier ship architecture.
• Participate in system-level testing, commissioning, and performance verification at test sites and ship integration facilities.
• Perform troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and corrective actions related to mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic system failures.
• Collaborate closely with electrical, systems, and logistics engineers to ensure integrated design solutions and compatibility across all subsystems.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including design change requests, test plans, maintenance procedures, and configuration management records.
• Support and contribute to Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) activities, including design, integration, and readiness reviews.
• Provide technical updates, status briefings, and engineering inputs to PMA-251 leadership, FMS case managers, and international customer representatives.
• Ensure all designs and documentation adhere to DoD, NAVAIR, and French engineering standards and environmental, safety, and quality requirements.
