You will work alongside Business Development, Capture, Engineering, and Proposal teams to create innovative, mission-focused solutions that leverage CACI’s products, technologies, and engineering expertise.

Ideal candidates live in close proximity to CACI’s northern Virginia offices (Sterling/Chantilly/Reston) or Maryland offices (Aberdeen Proving Ground/Annapolis Junction) and have a proven track record of both proposal development and hands‑on technical experience with EW, C5ISR, and cyber capabilities.

• Translate customer requirements (PWS, SOO, CONOPS, etc.) into executable technical architectures, implementation approaches, staffing strategies, and compelling proposal content.
• Lead cross‑functional teams spanning Business Development, Capture, Engineering, Proposal, Pricing, and Product Management.
• Evaluate technologies, conduct trade studies, and develop technical discriminators that improve competitive positioning.
• Support both classified and unclassified proposals while ensuring technical quality, compliance, and consistency.

You’ll Bring These Qualifications:

• Active TS/SCI security clearance.
• 10+ years of solution architecture, systems engineering, or technical leadership experience supporting DoD or Intelligence Community programs.
• Demonstrated success leading technical solution development and authoring or leading technical proposal volumes for large Federal capture and proposal efforts ($50M+ TCV preferred).
• Strong understanding of and experience developing solutions involving EW, C5ISR, and cyber capabilities (including their integration).
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Ability to translate customer requirements into compelling technical solutions and proposal content.
• Strong communication, leadership, and customer engagement skills.
• Preference for candidates living in close proximity to CACI’s northern Virginia offices (Sterling/Chantilly/Reston area) or Maryland offices (Aberdeen Proving Ground/Annapolis Junction) who can maintain regular onsite presence.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting Army, USSOCOM, Air Force, Navy, DARPA, DIU, or other defense organizations.
• Knowledge of RF systems, EMSO, SIGINT, C-UxS, or mission systems integration.
• Familiarity with MBSE, Agile/DevSecOps, AI/ML, and Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA/SOSA).
• Experience with GSA FEDSIM/AAS or other major DoD acquisition organizations.
• Prior hands‑on proposal development experience on EW, C5ISR, or cyber‑related programs.
