CADI isseeking a UAS Systems Engineer to support the Endurance Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (EUAS) Product Office, providing direct technical execution and systems engineering support to the Assistant Product Manager (APM) forMQ-1CGray Eagle.

This position applies interdisciplinary engineering skills across technical planning, systems integration, verification and validation (V&V), cost/risk, and supportability/effectiveness analyses.

Location:

Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, AL

• Interdisciplinary Systems Engineering:
  Apply interdisciplinary engineering skills to support system-of-systems integration, technical planning, requirements allocation, and interface definition across Gray Eagle sub-systems, payloads, and ground control elements.

• Full Lifecycle Analysis:
  Perform comprehensive engineering analyses across all stages of the total system product lifecycle—including concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.

• Requirements Conversion & Trade Studies:
  Execute functional analyses, timeline analyses, and detailed trade studies to ensure the logical and systematic conversion of operational/customer requirements into total systems solutions and technical specifications within program constraints.

• Verification & Validation (V&V) Oversight:
  Review engineering work products, Technical Data Packages (TDPs), system modifications, and test results for technical rigor, completeness, and adherence to system requirements.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Act as a technical bridge across diverse engineering disciplines (hardware, aerospace, communications, cyber, electrical, manufacturing, and mechanical). Work directly within APM-led cross-functional teams alongside government matrix engineers, Army labs, testing facilities, external program offices (e.g., UAS TMD, PD SAI, PM AMSA, PM TAGM), and industry partners.

• Acquisition Engineering Support:
  Provide system engineering inputs to establish sound technical baselines, Statements of Work (SOWs), system specifications, and technical documentation for contract requirement packages.

• Active DoD Secret Security Clearance.

• US Citizenship required

• Bachelor of Science (BS) in an Engineering discipline (e.g., Systems, Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Software Engineering) or a related hard science.

• Experience:
  
  12 – 15 year experience

• Multi-Discipline Breadth:
  Broad technical understanding encompassing hardware, aerospace, communications, cyber, electrical, manufacturing, or mechanical engineering domains, with the ability to technically execute across disciplines.

• Systems Engineering Rigor:
  Demonstrated experience in functional analysis, requirements allocation, interface control, trade studies, and verification/validation (V&V) processes.

• Strategic Systems Perspective:
  Ability to analyze complex technical challenges at the total-system level while maintaining focus on how technical outcomes drive cost, schedule, risk, test execution, and qualification/certification milestones.

• Cross-Functional Teamwork:
  Excellent interpersonal and collaborative skills to work effectively within matrixed APM structures and interface seamlessly with multi-disciplinary government and contractor teams.

• Direct experience supporting Army Aviation, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), or complex payload/sensor integration programs.

• Background in developmental/operational testing (DT/OT), flight test integration, or airworthiness qualification processes.

• Familiarity with working inside…
