• Use system models to generate specifications, perform trade studies, support interface definition, and assess technical performance.
• Drive integration of MBSE models into digital threads, linking requirements, design, and analysis across engineering tools and environments.
• Promote and apply reusable modeling practices, standards, and MBSE starter models to increase consistency and modeling efficiency.
• Mentor Systems Engineers and Modelers, sharing best practices and enabling teams to effectively adopt MBSE workflows.
• Communicate technical progress, risks, and recommendations to program leadership, presenting model insights to support engineering decisions.

• Typically requires a STEM degree and at least 5 years of relevant engineering experience
• Experience applying systems engineering to hardware or integrated hardware/software system development
• Experience developing system requirements, architectures, and interface definitions with traceability across engineering artifacts
• Experience with SysML modeling using Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, or equivalent MagicDraw tools, and Teamwork Cloud collaboration, * Experience leading MBSE adoption, modeling activities, or small modeling teams within engineering programs
• Experience with engineering design or analysis tools used across the product development lifecycle
• Familiarity with digital thread concepts, digital twin workflows, and integration of MBSE tools within Digital Engineering environments
• Experience using Syndeia or similar tools to connect models with requirements, design, or analysis data
• Exposure to Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) and reusable SysML architectures.
• Familiarity with data-visualization tools such as Power BI, Kibana, or Grafana
