This role is pivotal in transitioning complex Submarine Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) systems from document-based engineering to a Model Based Engineering (MBSE) environment. You will lead the development and maintenance of enterprise-level architectures, ensuring that safety, cybersecurity, and mission requirements are digitally integrated across the full system lifecycle-from initial design through sustainment., The Systems Engineer will serve as a technical MBSE lead supporting system development, analysis, risk management, requirements management and validation, delivery certification and life cycle support. The role focuses on the application of system modeling ensuring architectural coherence, safety, cybersecurity, and mission requirements are integrated across the system lifecycle. Position involves using digital models to manage and integrate system engineering activities, ensuring traceability, compliance, and performance across the product lifecycle and blends systems engineering, modeling, and collaboration across technical disciplines. The role is an in-person in the Philadelphia area, supporting in-service and new submarine systems at NSWCPD. The position is part of NDI Engineering's mission to enable design, test and evaluation, acquisition, engineering, systems integration, and life-cycle savings with cybersecurity and logistics integration., * Lead enterprise-level system architecture development and maintenance including defining modeling conventions, architectural frameworks, and reusable patterns for the program. * Create and maintain subsystem and system models using SysML or other MBSE standards, representing components, functions, interfaces, and behaviors. * Support system integration, verification, validation, and certification of hardware and software. * Work with system, software, hardware, integration, and test engineers to resolve issues and ensure full traceability from requirements to architecture, behavior, interfaces, and verification. * Apply MBSE across the full system lifecycle, including requirements management, traceability, analysis, and verification. * Collaborate with systems, software, safety, and cybersecurity Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to align functions, safety constraints, and cybersecurity considerations. * Produce architecture views and model-based artifacts for major design reviews (Peer Reviews, Requirements Reviews, Configuration Control Boards, Test Readiness Reviews, Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews (PDR, CDR)). * Ability to translate complex technical information into clear, concise executive-level summaries. * Experience working in DoD environments or complex system-of-systems programs ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) ## Related Articles - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [The Ultimate Software Engineer Career Path Guide for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/146-the-ultimate-software-engineer-career-path-guide-for-2023) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
