This position offers an exceptional opportunity to support the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Program Management Office (PMO) and broader Army aviation enterprise at a vital inflection point. As this flagship Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) progresses through critical design, verification, and integration phases, you will serve as a key technical resource applying system engineering and architecture doctrines to system design, open architecture governance, and digital platform integration., As a Systems Architecture Engineer, your duties will include the following, but are not limited to: * Utilize Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and modeling tools (e.g., SysML, UPDM, LML) to analyze current software/system architectures and develop models and architectural guidelines for current and future system development. * Support integration activities of next-generation aviation platform systems, subsystems, components, and mission equipment into current and future DoD architectures within a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE ) compliant framework. * Partition large, complex weapon systems into an extensible hierarchy of subsystems, hardware/software elements, and functional allocations assigned across engineering teams. * Build, navigate, evaluate, and review MBSE "model of models" environments, actively identifying architectural and design concerns related to the platform's MOSA strategy. * Review supplier/OEM architectural changes and baseline modifications for impacts to system modularity, extensibility, and openness. * Analyze architecture frameworks, interface definitions (ICDs), and functional allocations to identify and mitigate complex system-of-systems integration concerns. * Participate in and contribute technical analysis for major milestone reviews, including System Functional Reviews (SFR), Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), Critical Design Reviews (CDR), and Test Readiness Reviews (TRR). * Author and evaluate various types of project and technical documentation, including architectural design descriptions, open architecture management plans, interface control documents, and Information Support Plans (ISPs). * Develop and present briefing materials, translating complex architectural data and trade studies into clear updates, updates to leadership, and actionable technical recommendations. * Collaborate with Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), OEMs, and external stakeholders to ensure platform alignment to overarching system architecture doctrines and standards. * Support requirements flow-down, interface definition, functional decomposition, and integration verification across complex weapon systems.
