## Description

The Senior Systems Engineer II will independently and collaboratively conduct system-level activities supporting a group's objectives of systems programs. This role will be responsible for supporting the development and documentation of complex system architectures within a digital engineering ecosystem. This role requires deep expertise in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) viewpoints and modern service-based architectural patterns. Working knowledge of autonomy reference architectures such as AGRA, UMAA, and WGRA and application of systems engineering practices to DevOps-oriented environments are desired., * Develop, maintain, and evolve system models using SysML or related modeling languages. Design and document service-based architectures that emphasize modularity, scalability, interoperability, and clear contract-based interfaces.

 * Establish modeling conventions, ontologies, and toolchain workflows enabling traceability across requirements, behaviors, interfaces, and verification artifacts.

 * Integrate MBSE products within CI/CD pipelines to ensure models remain authoritative throughout the lifecycle.

 * Drive architecture development sessions and facilitate cross-disciplinary alignment using structured modeling and digital engineering practices.

 * Capture behavioral, functional, and interface architectures that support autonomous system development and multi-system integration.

 * Support the transition of existing software designs into distributed, service-oriented implementations.

 * Collaborate closely with software, integration, and platform teams to ensure architectural intent is maintained within DevOps workflows.

 * Provide SE input for automated testing, versioning of system models, and requirements verification integrated into CI/CD pipelines.

 * Communicate complex architectural concepts to technical and non-technical audiences through structured diagrams, modeling artifacts, and clear documentation and engage with cross-functional teams to ensure architectural cohesion and alignment with program milestones and technical baselines.

 * This position requires the ability to sit or stand at a desk and work on a computer for prolonged periods of time.

 * Must be able to obtain and maintain an active US DOD Security Clearance.
