## About the Role

Qualified candidates will have a strong background in the full systems engineering lifecycle, including requirements definition, architecture development, design, integration, verification, validation, and sustainment. Experience contributing to design efforts for deployable hardware products is highly desirable, particularly solutions in support of National Defense partners. Our products span all domains of intelligence and defense battlespaces - land, sea, air, and space, Many of the problem sets we address do not have known solutions, so demonstrated ingenuity, technical breadth, and creative problem solving are essential for success in these roles., * Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline with 2 years of relative experience; or a Master's degree in a STEM discipline with 0 years of relative experience

 * US Citizenship is required
 * Active US Government Top Secret security clearance is required
 * Willingness and ability to work onsite full-time
 * Demonstrated ability to create models of complex systems that provide traceability of evolving requirements
 * Demonstrated experience in the Systems Engineering Life Cycle with experience in one or more of the following: requirements capture and management, requirements definition, architecture development, system design, system diagraming, integration, verification, validation, and/or sustainment
 * Working knowledge of MBSE standards to guide model development, * Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline with 5 years of relative experience; or a Master's degree in a STEM discipline with 3 years of relative experience
 * US Citizenship is required

 * Working knowledge of MBSE standards to guide model development

Preferred Qualifications for both levels:

 * Experience developing models using the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF 2.0) modeling framework within the CAMEO development environment
 * Desired technical contribution with RF hardware communication and collection design projects
 * Custom plug-ins and other modeling tool customizations are preferred
 * Solid understanding of general systems engineering practices and tools

 * Demonstrated proficiency with systems modeling languages (SysML) or other industry-specific modeling languages
 * Demonstrated ability to communicate cross-functionally and interpret information across multiple engineering disciplines and operations
 * Ability to quickly self-learn relevant subject matter from a variety of new disciplines
 * Demonstrated excellent written and oral communication skills
 * Experience developing/utilizing Python automation tests
 * Ability to meet customer-specific security screening requirements within a timeframe set forth by management

## Description

* Develop model profiles, system diagrams, architecture frameworks, and model queries in the MBSE tools that capture and analyze systems throughout their lifecycle from concept definition through integration.
 * Work closely with Technical Leads to understand program intent, system capabilities, and output requirements
 * Integrate and collaborate with multi-disciplinary technical teams to transform requirements and technical information into MBSE tools for analysis and decision-making.
 * Provide recommendations derived from analysis results to optimize system performance and ensure compliance with requirements through formal presentations to technical leads and reports.
 * Support the development of architecture models
 * Perform model configuration management
 * Interface with cross-functional teams including technical leads, product owners, program management, and government customers to ensure that high-quality products are generated on time and within the available resources
 * Be actively involved in the efforts associated with Agile development, including iteration planning and status
