This role at CACI involves developing and improving software applications that implement algorithms for remote sensing systems — including synthetic aperture radar (SAR), electro-optical, and low-observable technologies — in support of national security missions. Engineers will collaborate with domain scientists to translate algorithm prototypes into production-quality code, participating across the full development lifecycle. The position requires an active TS/SCI clearance and is fully onsite.

How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting accepts a degree OR four years of professional experience in software/signals processing OR a military background in electronic warfare/signals processing in lieu of a degree — the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
The required programming language is stated as 'preferably Python, C++, Rust, or similar' — Python is listed as the primary with C++ and Rust as named alternatives; the requirement is for familiarity with at least one such language.
Linux is listed as required ('Familiarity developing in Linux and/or in a cloud environment'); AWS is the preferred cloud environment but is listed under the same required bullet — AWS is captured as preferred since the 'and/or' framing makes cloud experience optional alongside Linux.
A CI Polygraph on top of the TS/SCI is listed under Desired, not Required; the hard gate is TS/SCI only.
The salary range ($72,500–$148,500/year) is wide and explicitly noted by the employer as influenced by geography, contract wage rates, and other factors.
Digital signal processing appears only under 'Academic experience' in the Desired section.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
