## About the Role

(act / stm). This position does not necessarily require an MBSE Subject Matter Expert, but the role does minimally require experience working independently on MBSE models, some model customization, and the ability to communicate with non-Systems Engineering stakeholders who are less familiar with MBSE approaches.

The Model-Based Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization, which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments. When the efforts end, the Model-Based Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio. A candidate with experience in other systems engineering areas such as Lead Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. Success in this organization often leads to leadership positions in Model-Based Systems Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT)., * A Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 12+ years of experience or an MS with 10+ years.

 * Experience using MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler and/or other Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) modeling tools
 * Position requires candidates to be capable of performing in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
 * Demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment.
 * Resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area.
 * Possess a secret clearance or ability to obtain.

Preferred Qualifications

Preference shown to candidates who possess a Master of Science in System Engineering from an ABET-accredited university, and/or have at least 2-4 years of direct systems engineering experience.

Preferred candidates will also have experience and/or working knowledge with:

 * Demonstrated experience effectively leading a team of engineers.
 * Demonstrated experience accurately estimating the engineering effort (i.e. hours) associated with Systems Engineering tasks.
 * Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods
 * Experience supporting one or more DoD programs
 * Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification
 * INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification (ASEP or CSEP), Soldering

Model Based Systems Engineering
OMG Certified SysML Professional, This Model-Based Systems Engineer will join a team of seven other systems engineers, led by a senior systems engineer. In this role the Model-Based Systems Engineer will work with the broader engineering team to develop systems engineering artifacts in a Model-Based Systems Engineering environment using SysML and Cameo, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, Test Reports, and CONOPS., The selected candidate will interface with program management and design engineers to support a program's systems engineering needs throughout its design life cycle, including modeling system behavior, defining the system architecture, dictating system interfaces, performing requirements verification, and helping develop test schemes. The selected candidate may present the systems engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal design reviews and may serve as a customer liaison for MBSE content. The Model-Based Systems Engineer will need to work independently on these efforts, defining their own tasking derived from customer needs and contractual documents, but MBSE technical oversight will be provided when needed. Each effort will require different specific model artifacts, but broadly the Model-Based Systems Engineer will use Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML to develop requirements specifications, system architecture content (bdd / ibd), and system behavioral content
