The ideal candidate will leverage Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles to establish seamless interoperability, oversee Risk Management within modeling environments, and deliver engineering solutions at the speed of relevance.

Responsibilities

• Lead and expand the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) conceptual model space to capture complex stakeholder requirements and establish end-to-end systems architecture and requirement-to-verification traceability.
• Formulate, establish, and lead dedicated multi-discipline requirements and architecture working groups to ensure engineering development efforts and technical project management milestones are aligned with expectations.
• Develop, debug, and implement automated scripts using Apache Velocity / Velocity Template Language (VTL) within Cameo Systems Modeler to support complex Report Automation, Documentations compilation, and the autogeneration of dynamic Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Drive system integration by linking engineering toolsets and open-source data models across the product lifecycle to simulate real-world programs and test digital integrated ecosystems.
• Perform risk identification and risk management modeling within system architectures to establish standardized tracking methodology.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting, template validation, and syntax refinement to guarantee high-fidelity report creation and data consistency within model repositories.
• Foster strong teamwork and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.

Requirements

• Active Top Secret Clearance
• Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or a related STEM discipline with 2+ years of experience; OR a bachelor’s degree in engineering, general science, or physics with 4+ years of core systems engineering and systems architecture experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience developing architectural system concepts, structural diagrams (BDDs, IBDs), and model-based configurations within Cameo Systems Modeler or other No Magic tools.
• Prior experience leading or coordinating engineering tasks, showing foundational technical project management capabilities and the ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent oral communication skills with a history of delivering internal/external briefings, design reviews, or technical demonstrations.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship is strictly required.

Skills

• Proven experience building and applying template scripts (such as Apache Velocity) to drive report automation and technical documentations generation inside system modeling environments.
• Strong proficiency in model troubleshooting, parsing script errors, and structural verification/validation rules.
• Familiarity with open architecture paradigms, Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), or enterprise product line System Integration concepts.
