NAVWAR Engineer

About the role

CACI is hiring a NAVWAR Engineer in Albuquerque, working on a contract for the Joint Navigation Warfare Center (JNWC). The team supports the Department of Defense's navigation warfare mission by giving commanders subject-matter expertise on planning and conducting NAVWAR, covering friendly and enemy order of battle and PNT-related successes and threats. The position is full time, requires a minimum Secret clearance, and involves up to 25% local travel.

Key responsibilities

• Provide executive-level insight to NAVWAR engineering support and research and develop multi-function small form factor payloads.
• Develop and analyze models of algorithmic concepts for distributed electronic sensing effects, and use EW signal processing algorithms for threat detection and identification.
• Develop systems supporting GPS hardening and RF hardware and software that integrate EW, communications and radar into small payloads.
• Investigate heterogeneous sensing concepts across platforms (manned and unmanned, high-altitude ISR, ALE) and passive sensing approaches.
• Design and implement testing of RF and other hardware parts of software-defined radio frameworks, and reverse engineer existing NAVWAR signal processing solutions.
• Synthesize and allocate system requirements so the architecture is fully defined and compliant with mission needs.
• Support development of RF solutions for airborne mission environments, and perform HWIL testing on systems affected by PNT/GPS denial or deception.
• Review vendor hardware and software, develop simulation algorithms and models, and debug, test and validate capabilities with unit tests and customer scenarios.
• Work with internal and external customers to integrate solutions into a wide range of applications.

Required profile

• Active Secret security clearance and U.S. citizenship.
• 3-7 years of experience in electrical, mechanical, RF engineering or data science.
• Bachelor's degree (BA/BS) in an engineering field (electrical, mechanical, RF) or data science.
• Strong technical foundation and proven track record solving complex engineering problems.
• Desired: Professional Engineer license (PE) and a master's degree.

What we offer

• Proposed pay range of $60,100 - $123,200, depending on location, contract wage rates, experience and skills.
• Healthcare, wellness, financial, retirement and family support benefits, plus continuing education and time off.
