## Description

MITRE Technology and Engineering's Systems Engineering Division delivers innovative, multidisciplinary systems engineering solutions that support MITRE and its diverse sponsor base, and is a leader across government, industry, and academia in advancing next-generation systems engineering. The division's technical expertise spans mission, enterprise, and domain engineering; systems engineering, architecting, and lifecycle integration; digital engineering, prototyping, and modernization; architecture, interfaces, and open systems; performance analysis, test, and evaluation; and AI-enabled systems engineering. MITRE is seeking an Intermediate Systems Engineer to apply and grow this expertise in support of the design, implementation, and integration of enterprise systems and systems-of-systems, and the analysis of missions for federal agencies.

Roles & Responsibilities:

 * Applying your systems and mission engineering expertise to sponsor needs.
 * Applying modern methods and tools - such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Digital Engineering, Mission Engineering, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics - to assess capability needs, requirements, architectures, designs, performance constraints and gaps, proposed changes, and verification and test approaches.
 * Evaluating and comparing alternative architectures using qualitative and quantitative techniques and exploring large tradespaces, while articulating major uncertainties and the associated risks and opportunities.
 * Identifying or developing metrics to measure and analyze relevant system properties, such as robustness, resiliency, interoperability, quality, and maintainability.
 * Performing requirements management and analysis, interface management, architecture development and change management, and test and evaluation processes.
 * Performing system design and development, systems modernization, and architecture activities using MBSE and digital engineering approaches.
 * Translating analysis results into actionable recommendations for U.S. Government agencies.
