This position will be posted for a minimum of 3 days. If a candidate has not been selected at that time, it will continue to be posted until a suitable candidate is selected or the position is closed. ## Description As a Senior Systems Engineer (MBSE & Digital Engineering) supporting the Next Generation Environment (NGE) on the Integrated Research and Development for Enterprise Solutions (IRES) contract, you will serve as a core technical contributor driving the digital engineering transformation for the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) unified digital environment. In this role, you will apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and digital engineering practices to architect, decompose, and trace complex system requirements across hybrid cloud, enterprise networks, cybersecurity, and platform domains. You will bridge the gap between operational requirements, systems architecture, and technical implementation by developing authoritative SysML models, defining system interfaces, and integrating DoD cybersecurity standards (RMF, DISA STIGs, and Zero Trust) directly into the model baseline. Working collaboratively across multi-contractor consortium performers, engineering domain leads, and Government technical directors, you will ensure the NGE digital foundation maintains full traceability, technical rigor, and mission-aligned verification from concept through operational deployment. Description of Duties Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) & SysML Modeling: · Develop, refine, and maintain comprehensive MBSE models, system architectures, and behavioral/structural diagrams (e.g., Use Case, Block Definition, Internal Block, Activity, Sequence, and State Machine diagrams) utilizing SysML modeling tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw. · Ensure all systems engineering artifacts adhere to established International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and Object Management Group (OMG) standards. · Requirements Development, Decomposition & Traceability: · Decompose top-level MDA mission and stakeholder requirements into detailed functional, performance, interface, and cybersecurity specifications. · Establish and maintain "golden thread" requirements traceability from high-level capabilities down to system baselines, subsystems, and verification criteria, ensuring no orphaned requirements or unverified technical debt. Cybersecurity & Zero Trust Architecture Integration: · Incorporate Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls, DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), and DoD Zero Trust principles directly into MBSE architecture models. · Serve as a technical bridge between systems engineering and cyber defense teams, ensuring that system boundaries, security overlays, and identity/access management (ICAM) controls are accurately represented in technical baselines. Technical Baseline Management & Interface Definition: · Define and document system-to-system and component-to-component interfaces, generating authoritative Interface Control Documents (ICDs), system design specifications, and architecture decision records. · Ensure physical, logical, and virtual infrastructure dependencies (compute, storage, VMware virtualization, operating systems, and network overlays) are synchronized with the MBSE digital thread. Verification, Validation & Test Planning: · Develop and maintain Verification Cross-Reference Matrices (VCRMs), system validation plans, and technical evaluation criteria to support formal Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SETRs). · Coordinate with test teams to validate that implemented infrastructure and platform configurations satisfy modeled requirements and mission use cases. Consortium Collaboration & Peer Mentorship: · Lead technical working sessions, MBSE diagram walkthroughs, and peer review boards across multi-contractor consortium teams and Government stakeholders. · Mentor junior and mid-level engineers in SysML modeling conventions, requirements engineering, and digital engineering best practices. Engineering Governance & Lifecycle Support: · Participate in Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Configuration Control Boards (CCBs), and Architecture Review Boards (ARBs) to assess technical impact and maintain baseline configuration integrity. · Align systems engineering workflows with Agile and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) delivery cadences, supporting Program Increment (PI) planning and sprint execution. Resumes, in month and year format, must be submitted with application in order to be considered for the position. The selected candidate may be assigned as an employee for one of our teammate companies. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [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) - [Organizational Change Through The Power Of Why - DevSecOps Enablement](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/478-organizational-change-through-the-power-of-why-devsecops-enablement) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
