## Description

The Position: AM Pierce is seeking a Systems Engineer to support the development of an advanced technology being designed internally by the U.S. Navy. Working as part of a systems-engineering team and under the direction of a senior systems engineer, this individual will help multidisciplinary teams apply systems-engineering principles, develop a coherent system design, and capture that design in an integrated system model.

The position requires someone who can engage effectively with engineers, software developers, analysts, operators, and government stakeholders; contribute to structured technical discussions; and clearly represent the resulting design and technical baseline., * Support the application of systems-engineering principles throughout technology development.

 * Work with senior systems engineers to plan and facilitate collaborative design activities.
 * Help multidisciplinary teams define system context, behavior, functions, architecture, interfaces, and requirements.
 * Contribute systems-level questions and analysis that connect decisions across engineering disciplines.
 * Help clarify technical objectives, assumptions, constraints, dependencies, and design decisions.
 * Identify potential gaps, inconsistencies, and unresolved dependencies for consideration by the systems-engineering team and technical stakeholders.
 * Capture the team's technical design and supporting rationale in an integrated system model.
 * Develop and maintain SysML models using Cameo Systems Modeler.
 * Represent operational context, system behavior, functional responsibilities, logical and physical structure, interfaces, requirements, and traceability.
 * Maintain consistency among the system model, technical discussions, analyses, and program decisions.
 * Apply established program modeling methods, patterns, conventions, and quality standards.
 * Coordinate with systems engineers, technical leads, and subject-matter experts to ensure the model accurately represents the evolving design.
 * Prepare models, diagrams, analyses, and other engineering artifacts for technical working sessions and reviews.
 * Communicate system concepts clearly to technical and program stakeholders.
 * Incorporate technical direction and review feedback into the system model and supporting artifacts.
