## Description

JRC's SDIO team is growing, and we're looking for a sharp, mission-driven Model-Based Systems Engineer to help shape the next generation of Joint Battle Management and Joint Defense Planning capabilities. If you thrive at the intersection of systems architecture, advanced modeling, and real-world test environments, this role puts you right where the decisions get made. You'll work across the full test lifecycle - from unit-level contractor testing to digital simulation, HWIL, exercises, and live range events - all in support of a high-visibility software acquisition effort. This is a chance to influence architectures, guide system behavior, and ensure joint warfighters get the capabilities they need.

What You'll Do

 * Build high-fidelity SysML architecture models for foreign missile systems and C2 systems
 * Develop and maintain DoDAF-compliant architecture views and integrated MBSE artifacts
 * Partner with government technical leads, product owners, and agency stakeholders to align system models with mission needs
 * Translate complex system behavior into clear, actionable technical documentation
 * Drive MBSE standardization and best practices across a joint, multi-agency environment
 * Support test strategy, test case development, execution, and analysis across digital, HWIL, and live environments
