We are seeking an experienced System Engineer with deep expertise in Electronic Warfare (EW) mission systems to leadin developingtechnical requirements and system architectures for CACI product development supportingcritical US Government and foreign militaryprograms. 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 & ManagementEstablish 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.
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
Collaboratewithinternal and external stakeholders to refine requirements
Develop and documentsystem and software architectures that meet EW mission requirements and operational constraints
Decompose functional requirements to software, hardware, RF, signal processing, and other engineering disciplines
Defineand documentinterfaces and data flows between subsystems
Lead Functional and Physical Architecture development and allocation
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, andintegrationand operational teams
Conduct technical reviews and ensure subsystem designs satisfy allocated requirements
Identify and resolve requirements conflicts and technical risks across disciplines
Software-Centric Systems Engineering: Strong background in software architecture, software requirements specification, and software-intensive system design
Software Development Lifecycle: Understanding of Agile,Dev Sec Ops , and CI/CD practices in DoD environments
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 methodologiesapplied to EW systems
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 and maintainingsystemengineering 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
