About The Position

As a CACI Mission & Engineering NAVWAR Analyst (RF Data Analyst) supporting the Joint Navigation Warfare Center (JNWC), you will contribute to enhancing the Department of Defense's (DoD) understanding of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) vulnerabilities and threats. Located at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, the JNWC is the DOD's Center of Excellence for Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) and PNT capabilities integration. In this pivotal role, you will help develop critical navigation warfare insights to support operational readiness and strategic decision-making across multiple defense agencies and coalition partners. You will leverage advanced analysis software to process and interpret RF data collected from field events and military exercises, providing actionable insights. Your work will directly impact joint planning, Operation Plan (OPLAN) analysis, and the execution of NAVWAR operations across all domains and military operations. You will collaborate with engineering teams to gather analysis and data requirements during the planning phase, and develop test plans to characterize and assess navigation hardware performance. Additionally, you will handle requests to identify potential RF interference that could impact space launches, ensuring thorough analysis and timely resolution. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact on national security by ensuring PNT superiority and supporting the warfighter with cutting-edge NAVWAR solutions.
