• 3+ years of experience with model-based engineering approaches, Systems Modeling Language (SysML), Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), or other architecture modeling standards.

• 3+ years of experience with model-based engineering and architecture tools such as Cameo, MagicDraw, SparxEA, or similar tools.

• 3+ years of experience with mission or system functional decomposition, system-of-systems analysis, or capability gap assessment/analysis.

• Understanding of frameworks such as Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) , and modeling languages such System Modeling Language (SysML) and Unified Architecture Framework Modeling Language (UAFML).

• Strong verbal and written communication skills necessary to effectively collaborate in a team environment; present and explain technical information to colleagues, management, or sponsors.

• Knowledge or recent experience integrating systems processes and/or software development methodologies, planning, designing, and analyzing functional system processes - either hardware or software-based systems.

• Demonstrated ability to devise solutions for complex problems that require in-depth analysis of tangible and intangible factors.

• Proven ability to analyze complex issues within a diverse team and effectively present findings and solutions to stakeholders.

Desired Skills:

• Experience developing or analyzing operational and mission-level architectures (mission threads), kill chains/kill webs, CONOPs, or system-of-systems (SoS) architectures for defense or military areas.

• Proficiency using systems engineering modeling tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw) to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification & validation, and continuing throughout development and later life-cycle phases.

• OMG Certified Systems Modeling Professional (OCSMP), Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP), and/or other relevant UAF and SysML certifications or Graduate Certificates.

• Programming or scripting expertise (Python, Groovy, etc., for automation and model integration).

• Understanding of configuration control and database management.

• Experience conducting nodal analysis on architectures developed in Cameo.

• Experience and a demonstrated record of success in developing and implementing innovative solutions for a diverse range of highly complex multi-disciplinary problems and devising corrective actions where necessary.

Education Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related discipline.

• (DESIRED) Master's degree in Systems Engineering or related field, or the equivalent combination of education and related experience.

Clearance Requirements:

• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI Eligibility.

• U.S. Citizenship is required for this position

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is seeking a Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) / Digital Engineer with Cameo and/or MBSE software modeling experience to join our team working on-site in classified spaces. The primary worksite is in the Alexandria, VA area in support of the Office of the Undersecretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)) Mission Integration. In this role, you will research and develop descriptive architecture models of complex kill chains, kill webs, and effects-based solutions that reflect military employment. The models you will design enable gap analysis and highlight new technology applications, in addition to capturing key study details and informing additional analysis efforts. The architectures center on systems-of-systems modeling, spanning from the tactical to strategic levels. You will be working at the forefront of the Mission Engineering community informing modeling styles and standards, innovating usage, and driving digital engineering for systems-of-systems mission applications . You will utilize MBSE software tools (e.g., Cameo) to develop descriptive models, conduct analysis and produce deliverables that inform solutions to key operational challenges faced by our nation's warfighters, enabling mission success. This position requires collaborative teaming and offers an excellent opportunity for a modeler to work in an innovative environment at the leading edge of delivering emerging technologies and future concepts for complex warfighting scenarios.
