About the role

SAIC is seeking a Mission Planning Lead for the MACH-TB program in Huntsville. Lead test planning and execution from inception through post-mission reviews, coordinating cross-functional teams and stakeholders in a high-stakes defense environment. You will develop mission artifacts, schedules, and readiness documentation, while guiding test architecture discussions and ensuring alignment with program objectives. Significant travel and clear communication with senior leadership are required.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
