program. In this lead Lumen engineering role, you apply advanced engineering and network principles to solve unusually complex problems and to develop/evaluate/implement secure WAN/transport solutions. Embedded with the SAIC mission team, you translate operational and cybersecurity requirements into implementable field work packages for classified and unclassified environments. Deliverables to the SAIC Chief Engineer and technical engineering include HLD/LLD, design-review packages, diagrams, and (as requested) bills of material and configuration templates. HYBRID role; initial work is performed in contractor-provided facilities. The engineer works with SAIC's Chief Engineer to design secure WAN/transport connectivity and deliver implementation-ready field work packages. Contingent upon contract award expected in Q1. The Main Responsibilities WAN Architecture & Design Engineering. Develop WAN/transport design recommendations for mission networks: site connectivity, segmentation, resiliency, and performance engineering across classified and unclassified enclaves. Define engineering requirements, interfaces, and implementable WAN designs, including L0 circuit configurations and CLLI circuit-route options across

; optionally address routing, addressing, QoS, encryption, and boundary protection. Develop optimized WAN transport options using OTN and ITU-T standards (G.709, G.798, G.872); apply MPLS/IP, Ethernet, VPN/IPsec, SD-WAN, and modern secure access patterns (SASE/SSE) where applicable. Propose WAN work package options to SAIC technical leadership to support engineering trades before implementation; deliverables may include HLD/LLD, logical/physical diagrams, IP plans, L0 routing/QoS policies, security boundary requirements, BOM/part lists, rack elevations (as applicable), configuration templates, and interface cut sheets. Support the SAIC Chief Engineer with MOPs, implementation plans, cutover schedules, rollback procedures, and test/validation plans; participate in technical reviews and change control; identify/mitigate risks per work package. Recommend optimized WAN solutions for current/long-range planning; partner with technical leads to select tools/technologies that improve efficiency, reduce cost, and increase customer satisfaction. Create/maintain engineering and compliance evidence (device configuration baselines, DISA STIG notes/checklists, boundary descriptions, diagrams, status reports) to support audits and RMF/ATO. Support operational projects and maintenance windows; assist implementation teams during turn-ups, migrations, and service transitions. Recommend automation/standardization of repeatable engineering tasks (configuration generation, validation checks, documentation workflows) consistent with program approvals. Troubleshoot complex hardware/software/network issues (as requested); document problems, root causes, and resolutions; feed lessons learned into package templates and standards.
