Description
SAIC is seeking an experienced and highly capable Logistics Principal to support the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Digital Infrastructure (DI) Network Designer & Deployer program in support of the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management (PEO C3BM).
The ABMS DI Network is the backbone of the DAF BATTLE NETWORK — the Air Force's contribution to the DoD's Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) warfighting concept. This program is delivering a secure, resilient, multi-enclave digital infrastructure spanning Unclassified through TS/SCI security domains, integrating cutting-edge commercial and government technologies including cloud computing, SD-WAN, Enterprise Cross Domain Solutions, Data Distribution Networks, Scalable Transport, and Data Link Integration Modules across global operational sites.
As a Logistics Principal, you will serve as the senior logistics authority for the ABMS DI Network program — architecting and executing the end-to-end integrated logistics strategy that ensures the right equipment, software, and services are procured, tracked, delivered, and sustained across a globally distributed network of fixed and deployed operational sites. Your work is mission-critical: the warfighters and operators depending on the ABMS DI Network cannot fight and win without the logistics backbone you will build and manage.

Collaborate with systems engineers, design work package teams, and program management to develop and maintain comprehensive Bills of Materials (BOMs) and Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment with approved DI Network design baselines
Establish and manage end-to-end supply chain processes and delivery schedules, coordinating information flow to and from third-party vendors, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), DI Network Managers, and government customers to meet program milestones and deployment deadlines
Develop and manage program logistics budgets, ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations, FAR/DFARS requirements, and internal procurement policies while optimizing cost efficiency across the supply chain
Identify, assess, and mitigate supply chain risks including vendor delays, parts obsolescence, single-source dependencies, and logistics bottlenecks, developing and maintaining contingency logistics plans for critical network components
Coordinate with DoD inventory management systems and government logistics stakeholders to ensure full compliance with DoD supply chain regulations, property accountability requirements, and asset visibility standards
Manage warehouse operations, equipment accountability, freight transportation, and Return Material Authorization (RMA) processes for DI Network hardware components across CONUS and OCONUS operational sites
Conduct and support scheduled equipment inventories to ensure accountability, readiness, and accurate asset tracking across all deployed and fixed DI Network operational nodes
Develop and maintain a comprehensive menu of transport and equipment options for DI Network deployment kits, including logistics metrics, cost assumptions, and lead time data to support program planning and procurement decisions
Support the preparation of logistics evidence packages, sustainment plans, and supporting documentation for Government-led Configuration Control Boards (CCBs) and program milestone reviews
Employ logistics best practices, continuous improvement methodologies, and data-driven analysis to optimize supply chain performance, reduce costs, and improve delivery efficiency across the program
Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior logistics personnel and cross-functional team members, establishing logistics standards and best practices across the ABMS DI Network program
