We are seeking an experienced System Engineer with deep expertise in Electronic Warfare (EW) mission systems to lead   in developing   technical requirements and system architecture s   for CACI product development supporting   critical US Government   and foreign military   programs. This role demands a unique blend of software-centric systems engineering, operational EW domain knowledge, and the ability to decompose complex system requirements across multidisciplinary teams  

Key Responsibilities  

Requirements Development & Management  

• Establish and maintain system baselines including functional, performance, and interface requirements  

• Lead requirements   definition through evaluation of customer high-level system requirements and capability need statements with customer and engineering team technical interactions.   

• Manage requirements traceability from mission needs through verification and validation  

• Coordinate solutions across multiple physical locations and organizations.  

EW Mission Systems Engineering  

• Apply deep understanding of EW operational concepts, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to translate mission needs into technical requirements  

• Define system behavior for EW functions including threat detection, identification, geolocation, jamming, and countermeasures  

• Support development of Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and mission thread analysis for EW systems  

• Collaborate   with   internal and external stakeholders   to refine requirements  

Technical Architecture & Decomposition  

• Develop   and document   system and software architectures that meet EW mission requirements and operational constraints  

• Decompose functional requirements to software, hardware, RF, signal processing, and other engineering disciplines  

• Define   and document   interfaces and data flows between subsystems   

• Lead Functional and Physical Architecture development and allocation  

Cross-Functional Technical Leadership  

• Serve as primary technical interface between system-level engineering and specialized engineering teams  

• Facilitate requirements understanding across   software engineering, signal processing,   RF engineering,   hardware engineering, and   integration   and operational   teams  

• Conduct technical reviews and ensure subsystem designs satisfy allocated requirements  

• Identify and resolve requirements conflicts and technical risks across disciplines  

Required Qualifications  

Technical Skills  

• Software-Centric Systems Engineering:   Strong background in software architecture, software requirements specification, and software-intensive system design  

• Software Development Lifecycle:   Understanding of Agile,   DevSecOps , and CI/CD practices in DoD environments  

EW Domain Expertise  

• 5+ years of experience in EW systems development, integration, or operations , or equivalent system complexity.  

• Understanding of EW operational disciplines with working knowledge of how mission requirements translate to system capabilities  

• Knowledge of RF propagation, antenna systems, receiver/transmitter architectures, and signal processing  

• Understanding of test and evaluation methodologies   applied to EW systems  

Systems Engineering Fundamentals  

• 7+ years of systems engineering experience with at least 3 years in requirements development  

• Demonstrated ability to decompose system requirements to software, hardware, and firmware subsystems  

• Experience with verification and validation planning and execution  

• Experience documenting a nd maintain ing   system   engineering artifacts including:  

• System architecture descriptions and diagrams  

•  Interface control documents (ICDs)  

• Requirements specifications and traceability matrices  

• Data flow and sequence diagrams  

• Trade study and technical analysis experience  

Clearance & Education  

• BS in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field  

• US Citizenship and ability to obtain TS/SCI clearance  

Desired Qualifications  

• Active TS/SCI security clearance   preferred  

• INCOSE CSEP or ESEP certification  

• Familiarity with open systems architecture standards (CMOSS, SOSA, FACE)  

• Understanding of software testing frameworks and automated test development  

• Familiarity with formal requirements and design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, e tc. )  

Work Environment  

• Hybrid/On-site position supporting   Florham Park, NJ   or Westminster, CO  

• Travel to other CACI locations and/or customer sites as necessary (travel requirement is typically 0 - 15%)   

• Fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment
