* The Opportunity:

CACI is seeking a Systems Engineer to support Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF 401). The Systems Engineer will provide technical leadership in the design, integration, analysis, testing, and evaluation of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) capabilities. This position requires expertise in systems engineering, architecture development, systems integration, requirements management, and operational analysis to ensure the successful development, acquisition, fielding, and sustainment of complex C-UAS systems.

The Systems Engineer will leverage Maven Smart System (MSS), Palantir, Power BI, Python, AI-enabled analytical tools, and digital engineering methodologies to evaluate system performance, assess interoperability, manage technical risks, and deliver integrated mission capabilities supporting senior military and civilian leadership.

Responsibilities:

* Apply systems engineering principles throughout the lifecycle of C-UAS capabilities, including requirements development, architecture design, integration, testing, fielding, and sustainment.

* Utilize Maven Smart System (MSS), Palantir, Power BI, Python, and AI-enabled analytical tools to support technical analysis, systems integration, operational assessments, and decision-making.

* Develop and manage system architectures, interface requirements, functional decompositions, and technical baselines supporting integrated C-UAS capabilities.

* Analyze system performance, interoperability, reliability, maintainability, scalability, and operational effectiveness across sensors, effectors, command and control systems, communications networks, and supporting infrastructure.

* Develop and maintain systems engineering documentation including requirements traceability matrices, interface control documents (ICDs), system specifications, architecture diagrams, technical risk assessments, and verification plans.

* Support operational assessments, technology demonstrations, developmental testing, operational testing, experimentation events, and capability evaluations.

* Collaborate with engineers, software developers, cyber specialists, network engineers, data scientists, acquisition personnel, operators, and mission stakeholders to integrate complex technical systems into operational capabilities.

* Conduct technical trade studies, engineering analyses, technology assessments, and capability gap analyses supporting acquisition strategies and modernization efforts.

* Evaluate emerging technologies, AI-enabled capabilities, autonomous systems, sensor fusion solutions, and advanced C-UAS architectures for operational applicability.

* Develop dashboards, technical reports, engineering analyses, executive briefings, and decision-support products communicating complex technical information to senior military and civilian leadership.

* Leverage artificial intelligence and automation technologies to improve systems engineering processes, technical analysis, and operational decision support.

* Identify technical risks, integration challenges, interoperability issues, and engineering solutions throughout system development and deployment.

* Ensure engineering activities comply with applicable systems engineering standards, cybersecurity requirements, configuration management policies, and data governance practices.

* Maintain awareness of emerging C-UAS technologies, systems engineering methodologies, digital engineering practices, and evolving operational requirements to continuously improve mission capabilities.

Qualifications:

Required:

* Active Top Secret/SCI Clearance.

* BA/BS with 4+ years; AA/AS with 8+ years; or HS/GED with 10+ years.

* Demonstrated experience applying systems engineering principles to the design, integration, testing, or sustainment of complex technical systems.

* Experience utilizing Maven Smart System (MSS), Palantir, or similar enterprise data integration and analytics platforms.

* Experience developing dashboards, reports, and technical visualizations using Power BI or similar business intelligence platforms.

* Working knowledge of Python for automation, data analysis, scripting, or engineering support activities.

* Experience leveraging AI-enabled tools, machine learning applications, or advanced analytics platforms to support engineering analysis and operational decision-making.

* Knowledge of systems architecture, systems integration, interface management, requirements development, verification and validation (V&V), and configuration management.

* Experience developing engineering documentation, technical specifications, interface control documents (ICDs), system architectures, and technical assessments.

* Experience supporting system integration, interoperability analysis, technology evaluations, or operational testing.
