Intermediate Systems Engineer

About the role

MITRE's Systems Engineering Division delivers innovative, multidisciplinary systems engineering solutions that support MITRE and its diverse sponsor base. The division is a leader across government, industry, and academia in advancing next-generation systems engineering and applying best practices to complex national security and public sector challenges. Its technical expertise includes: 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. The division applies these capabilities across sponsors to address broad national challenges, integrate lessons learned across domains, and continuously strengthen MITRE's impact and differentiated value in systems engineering.

As an Intermediate Mission Engineer, you will leverage and grow your systems engineering expertise to support the design, implementation, and integration of enterprise systems and systems-of-systems and analysis of missions for federal agencies.

Responsibilities

• Using your understanding of systems and mission engineering and an awareness of sponsor needs to determine areas where MITRE can have an impact
• Applying modern methods and tools such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, 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
• Articulating major uncertainties associated with systems architectures and defining risks and opportunities associated with those uncertainties
• Identifying or developing metrics to measure and analyze relevant system properties, such as robustness, resiliency, interoperability, quality, and maintainability
• Supporting requirements management and analysis, interface management, architecture development, architecture 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

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline
• 2 years of experience in systems engineering and enterprise architecture
• This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret Clearance
