About The Position

CACI is seeking an Aerospace Technologies Analyst to perform and manage the production of various products in coordination with project and program leadership at the National Ground Intelligence Center in Charlottesville VA. This position will research and exploit key data sources to assess capabilities of foreign Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). You will leverage knowledge of aerospace engineering and UAV/UAS to develop analytical assessments to developing systems technologies, combat environments, concepts of operation, and tactics to develop assessments of intentions and capabilities, limitations, and vulnerabilities of foreign UAV and UAS technologies. You will fully inform and ensure discussion advantage across multiple threshold and objective requirements.

Requirements

BA/BS degree Aerospace, Aeronautic, or similar engineering discipline.
3+ years of experience serving in a technical analytical role on DoD related programs and projects.
Must have demonstrated capability producing analytic assessments with experience in unmanned aerial systems.
Must have strong verbal and written skills.

Responsibilities

Must be capable of conducting analysis on foreign fixed wing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), specifically engineering analysis and characterization of system design and sub technologies, aerodynamic properties, flight performance (e.g., range, endurance, payload, etc.), and tactical effectiveness.
Predict future capabilities and effectiveness based on modifications or evolutionary changes; and identification of vulnerabilities for exploitation/threat mitigation by US materiel solutions.
Fully inform and ensure decision advantage across multiple threshold and objective requirements (e.g., Detect & Identify, Track, Defeat)
Based on known and anticipated requirements, increase threat characterization, signature development and dissemination throughput to close standing informational gaps.
Determine technical omissions, discrepancies, and reliability of all-source material by applying known technical constraints on equipment operation or technology application, and extrapolating from established data on foreign equipment characteristics, foreign research and development (R&D) and production capabilities.
