* *
* ** CACI is seeking a highly motivated, self-starting Field Systems Engineer to lead the deployment, integration, and optimization of advanced radar and sensor systems for counter-UAS operations. In this role, you will be the tip of the spear for fielding critical technologies, bridging the gap between hardware deployment and complex system optimization.*
* ** The ideal candidate is an independent problem solver who thrives in dynamic environments and possesses a deep understanding of diagnosing complex "systems of systems" that integrate RF and SIGINT sensors. You will be responsible for physically setting up sensors at remote sites, configuring systems for On-The-Move (OTM) operations, and analyzing data streams to ensure maximum effectiveness against small, low-profile targets.*
* *
* Core Responsibilities:

*
* **
- System Deployment & Integration:
Deploy, configure, and register solid-state radar systems-specifically RADA (42 and 82 series) and Echodyne metamaterial platforms-for both static and dynamic OTM applications.*
* **
- Systems of Systems Diagnostics:
Troubleshoot, debug, and seamlessly integrate complex architectures involving disparate RF, SIGINT, and supporting sensor nodes.*
* **
- PNT Configuration:
Integrate and calibrate Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems to ensure absolute geospatial accuracy and continuous tracking while on the move.*
* **
- Optimization & Tuning:
Fine-tune radar parameters, clutter maps, and Doppler filters on-site to optimize the detection and tracking of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) in highly cluttered environments.*
* **
- Field Testing & Validation:
Travel to remote operational sites and test ranges to conduct end-to-end performance testing, system validation, and customer demonstrations.*
* *
* Required Qualifications:

*
* **
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, etc.) OR equivalent military/technical field experience.*
* **
- Proven track record as a self-starter and aggressive problem solver capable of operating independently to diagnose hardware and software issues within complex RF/SIGINT systems.*
* **
- Hands-on experience installing, configuring, and operating tactical radar, electronic warfare, or advanced sensor networks.*
* **
- Strong understanding of PNT integration and the unique technical challenges associated with OTM sensor deployments.*
* **
- Willingness and ability to travel to field sites for installation, testing, and sustainment activities.*
* **
- U.S. Citizenship and the ability to obtain/maintain a DoD Security Clearance.*
* *
* Preferred Qualifications:

*
* **
- Data science or scripting background (e.g., Python, MATLAB) with the ability to build code, ingest radar data streams, and optimize algorithms for sUAS detection.*
* **
- Prior military experience in Air Defense Artillery (ADA), electronic warfare, or tactical network integration.*
* **
- Direct, hands-on experience calibrating and troubleshooting RADA or Echodyne systems in austere environments.*
*
- ** What You Can Expect:*
* ** A culture of integrity.*
* At CACI, we place character and innovation at the center of everything we do. As a valued team member, you'll be part of a high-performing group dedicated to our customer's missions and driven by a higher purpose - to ensure the safety of our nation.

** An environment of trust.*
* CACI values the unique contributions that every employee brings to our company and our customers - every day. You'll have the autonomy to take the time you need through a unique flexible time off benefit and have access to robust learning resources to make your ambitions a reality.

** A focus on continuous growth.*
* Together, we will advance our nation's most critical missions, build on our lengthy track record of business success, and find opportunities to break new ground - in your career and in our legacy.
