Systems Engineer

We are recruiting for a contract Systems Engineer in Orlando, FL, supporting rotary-wing flight simulation with an assignment focused on CH-53K ownship software and SysML. You will help turn operational and training needs into clear, implementable engineering solutions for next-generation helicopter simulation.

The team’s work includes pilot maneuvers, normal and emergency procedures, aircraft-system behavior and malfunctions, mission scenarios, recording/replay, after-action review, and simulator hardware/software interfaces. You will help define, decompose, trace, and verify requirements and interfaces across simulation software, hardware, training workflows, and supporting infrastructure., * Connect training needs to system architecture, behavior, and verification planning by collaborating with software developers, integration/test engineers, pilots, instructors, and subject-matter experts.

• Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles and develop or interpret SysML models covering requirements, use cases, structure, behavior, interfaces, and traceability.
• Perform requirements decomposition, interface definition, architecture development, and verification planning.
• Support integration, test, verification, validation, troubleshooting, and technical baseline management.
• Analyze system interactions and clearly communicate requirements, assumptions, interfaces, and technical risks.
• Responsibly utilize AI-assisted research, analysis, or development tools with independent validation of results.

Systems Engineering, Systems Engineering, Simulation, Emergency Procedures, Hardware Design and Simulation Software, System Architecture, Software Development, Verification Plans, Integration Testing, Testing, * Education: A valid Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).

• Experience: Minimum of 3–4+ years of professional engineering experience. (Aligns with Level 2: BS+4-8 YRS or MS+2-6 YRS)
• Core Skills:
• Cameo/SysML MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering).
• Requirements decomposition, interface definition, architecture development, and verification planning.
• Working knowledge of C++ sufficient to collaborate with software teams and understand implementation constraints.
• On-Site Requirement: Must be able to work on-site in Orlando, FL 2–3 days per week., * Experience with Cameo Systems Modeler or Cameo Enterprise Architect.
• Simulation architecture, digital engineering, and real-time training systems.
• Programming/scripting proficiency in C++, Python, and Bash.
• Domain knowledge in aircraft systems, avionics, flight dynamics, mission systems, malfunction modeling, rotorcraft, and pilot training.
• Familiarity with DIS/HLA, TCP/UDP, and hardware I/O.
• Experience with cockpit, display, audio, motion, or control-loading interfaces, as well as data logging, recording/replay, after-action review, instructor workflows, and training scenarios.
• Aircraft survivability equipment, threat modeling, automated testing, requirements-to-test traceability, FAA/EASA standards, Qualification Test Guides, and simulator qualification.
