Junior MBSE Engineer

About the role

Opportunity PeopleTec is currently seeking a Junior MBSE Engineer (Digital Backbone / Aviation Systems) to support our Huntsville, AL location. We are supporting the integration, verification, and test of next-generation aviation and mission systems utilizing deterministic Ethernet-based Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), Digital Backbone (DBB), and Data Distribution System (DDS) architectures within Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SWIL), and digital engineering environments.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain SysML -based system models supporting aviation mission systems, digital backbone architectures, and system integration activities.
• Support requirements analysis, requirements decomposition, traceability, verification, and validation activities within MBSE environments.
• Affiliate with development of system architectures, operational views, interface definitions, and design artifacts.
• Support modeling and analysis of TSN, DBB, DDS, and other aviation networking and mission system technologies.
• Develop Component Design Models (CDMs), System Design Models (SDMs), and architecture artifacts supporting MOSA-aligned system development.
• Participate in system design reviews, architecture reviews, integration activities, and technical interchange meetings.
• Collaborate with software, network, cybersecurity, avionics, and test engineering teams to ensure model fidelity and requirements traceability.
• Support digital engineering initiatives including digital thread, digital twin, and model-based verification approaches.
• Produce technical documentation, engineering artifacts, presentations, and reports supporting customer and internal engineering activities.
• Support demonstrations, customer engagements, and system integration events.

Qualifications

• 2-5 years of experience in Systems Engineering, MBSE, Digital Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical disciplines through professional work, internships, research, or academic projects.
• Familiarity with SysML and MBSE concepts including requirements modeling, behavior modeling, structural modeling, and traceability.
• Experience using MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw , or similar platforms.
• Understanding of systems engineering principles and the systems development lifecycle.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Interest in aviation systems, mission systems integration, digital engineering, or model-based development approaches.
• Familiarity with Git, configuration management, or collaborative engineering environments is desired.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10%.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.
• An active DoD Secret clearance is required to perform this work.
• Candidates are required to have an active Secret clearance upon hire, and the ability to maintain this level of clearance during their employment.

Education Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering , Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related STEM discipline.

Desired Skills

• Familiarity with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), Digital Backbone (DBB), Data Distribution Service (DDS), or distributed mission system architectures.
• Experience with Army, DoD, aviation, or mission systems programs.
• Familiarity with MOSA, FACE, Future Vertical Lift (FVL), Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA), or digital backbone initiatives.
• Exposure to Component Design Models (CDMs), System Design Models (SDMs), architecture frameworks, or digital engineering governance.
• Knowledge of avionics standards including DO-178C, DO-254, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 653, ARINC 661, or ARINC 664 (AFDX).
• Experience supporting Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SWIL), System Integration Labs (SIL), or test environments.
• Programming or scripting experience using Python, MATLAB, or similar languages.
• Familiarity with digital twins, digital thread concepts, or model-based verification and validation.
• Experience supporting requirements management tools such as DOORS or Jama.
• Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies quickly and contribute within complex engineering environments.
