Senior Systems Engineer
About The Position
Join a team responsible for designing and delivering mission-critical systems that support national security objectives. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will lead complex engineering initiatives throughout the entire system lifecycle, from concept development and requirements definition through integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment. In this highly visible technical leadership role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop innovative, secure, and scalable solutions while ensuring alignment with customer needs, enterprise architecture standards, and rigorous engineering processes. This position offers the opportunity to influence system design, drive technical strategy, and solve complex challenges in a dynamic environment. This position is contingent on funding and may not be filled immediately. However, this position is representative of positions within CACI that are consistently available. Individuals who apply may also be considered for other positions at CACI.
