Our team is expanding from a foundation in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) into a broader Digital Ecosystem focus, connecting engineering methods, processes, data, models, tools, and people to improve how programs execute and make decisions. This is fundamentally an engineering role. We are looking for someone who thinks in terms of systems, relationships, interfaces, requirements, and lifecycle impacts-not simply individual tools or technologies. The ideal candidate is curious, learns quickly, communicates well, and wants the opportunity to help shape new ways of working across the organization. Prior MBSE experience is beneficial but is not required. We are particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate strong systems thinking and the ability to learn and apply new engineering methods. The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers' missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution. What You'll Do: * Support systems engineering and digital engineering activities across programs and enterprise initiatives. * Assist in developing system models, architectures, requirements, interfaces, workflows, and other engineering artifacts. * Apply systems thinking to understand relationships among requirements, functions, architectures, disciplines, organizations, and lifecycle activities. * Support MBSE implementation and adoption using established modeling methods and tools. * Work with experienced systems engineers to analyze complex problems and translate engineering needs into structured solutions. * Support development and improvement of engineering processes, methods, standards, and reusable approaches. * Collaborate with engineering disciplines, programs, and enabling organizations to improve integration across the engineering lifecycle. * Identify opportunities to responsibly apply AI, automation, and emerging technologies to improve engineering effectiveness and reduce repetitive work. * Assist with prototypes, demonstrations, analyses, training materials, and technical communications. * Participate in a team helping define and implement the organization's evolving digital engineering ecosystem. * Communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. * Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule. * Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others to maintain a positive and productive work environment. * Perform other duties as necessary. ## Related Videos - [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) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [JavaScript?
