Hardware Engineering Manager - Electronic Warfare
About The Position
CACI's Mastodon Design provides cutting-edge Electronic Warfare (EW) and SIGINT solutions, designing and building hardware and software to meet our customers' next requirement. We focus on offering devices that can be fielded immediately to meet mission needs that lie directly ahead. Size, weight, power, and packaging are of paramount importance in everything we design and build. Our expertise spans specialized electronic and mechanical design, embedded and application-level software, reverse engineering and protocol analysis, and RF signals exploitation and communications systems. That system offering extends beyond the core hardware itself — peripherals and accessories are an integral part of how our solutions get fielded, and our engineering team plays a direct role in shaping, evaluating, and validating that accessory ecosystem alongside our core EW/SIGINT products. CACI's Mastodon Design is hiring a Hardware Engineering Manager to lead our hardware engineering group in Rochester, NY. This group spans Power Supply, Digital, RF, along with General Support/Sustainment Engineering disciplines. You'll own the people side of the group — hiring, mentoring, and developing a multidisciplinary team — while partnering closely with engineering and business stakeholders to keep software development and test moving across our product lines.
