Systems Engineer- Model Based Systems Engineering

Apply Job Type Full-time Description TDI Technologies is seeking an early- to mid-career Systems Engineer specializing in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to support Navy ship design, engineering analysis, and systems integration activities at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The engineer will support the development, integration, and maintenance of system models for complex shipboard Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) systems, with emphasis on Integrated Power Systems (IPS), electrical and mechanical systems, and control systems. The successful candidate will collaborate with government engineers, design teams, MBSE specialists, and program stakeholders to develop system models that support design analysis, requirements development, system integration, and engineering decision-making. Responsibilities include developing system architecture and behavior models, integrating component models, maintaining requirements traceability, supporting modeling and simulation (M&S), and preparing technical reports and briefings. This position is ideal for a systems engineer with strong hands-on modeling experience who can translate complex engineering requirements and system designs into accurate, integrated models. Experience with Cameo Systems Modeler and the Object Management Group (OMG) Certified Systems Modeling Professional (OCSMP) Intermediate certification is highly desirable. This is a full-time, on-site position at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
