Full job description

Model-Based Systems Engineer, MidThe Opportunity: Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big-picture thinking to make an impact in national defense? You understand your customer’s environment and how to develop the right systems for their mission. Your ability to translate real-world needs into technical specifications makes you an integral part of delivering a customer-focused engineering solution.

As a Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) on our team, you have the chance to create, integrate, and apply interdisciplinary digital models of products from concept throughout the product lifecycle. You will provide engineering technical direction for problem definition, analysis, requirement development, and implementation for complex systems in the engineering discipline required to meet technical objectives. You have the chance to design model-based systems and develop digital twin models and architectures in support of government defense systems. Your technical expertise will be vital as you evaluate and modernize how our clients go about linking digital tools and techniques with system engineering, fostering a new way of cybersecurity and product development. You’ll develop your skills in MBSE while gaining experience across a complex, integrated system. Grow your skills by merging your system and digital engineering skills to create new and innovative solutions for our clients. Join our team and help turn requirements into accomplishments that drive change.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

  • 3+ years of experience with systems engineering and integration, and MBSE

  • 3+ years of experience using digital engineering tools to design DoD systems

  • Experience with architecting solutions from user requirements and use cases to be applied across a systems engineering life cycle

  • Experience with modeling tools, including Magic Draw or Cameo, Sparx Enterprise Architect, or IBM Rhapsody, and with the practical application of Unified Modeling Language (UML) or Systems Modeling Language (SysML)

  • Knowledge of modular open systems approach (MOSA) design principles and technologies, DoD architecture standards and framework, and Agile systems engineering methods and tools

  • Ability to use MBSE tools and processes to create and manage tailored MBSE artifacts that capture analysis and the resulting engineering decisions and trades made during acquisition and development

  • Ability to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary, dynamic team environment, including internal staff, external contractors, and government clients to increase the use of MBSE for client acquisition programs

  • Secret clearance

  • Bachelor’s degree

  • Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeling Language Professional (OCSMP) Model User or Builder Certification or INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional Certification, including ASEP, CSEP, or ESEP Certification

Nice If You Have:

  • Experience with supporting acquisition programs and government clients

  • Experience with extending systems models into other tools for analysis, including MATLAB, Simulink, or STK, and model-based product support, including Teamcenter or Windchill

  • Experience with scripting languages, including the Velocity Template Language

  • Experience using system models during government engineering reviews and other system engineering disciplines, including configuration management, risk management, cybersecurity, and cyber certification processes

  • Knowledge of DoDD 5000.01, DoDI 5000.02, the System Development Life Cycle, and object-oriented programming languages, including C++, Java, or Python

  • Master's degree in Engineering, Science, or Mathematics

Clearance: Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
