MBSE Systems Engineer

About the role

This role focuses on developing and maintaining model-based systems engineering (MBSE) solutions for complex system-of-systems architectures, with a strong emphasis on hypersonic wind tunnel and advanced aerospace programs. You will build and refine models using Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw, establish modeling standards, and collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to define system requirements, interfaces, and behaviors. You will also support the full systems engineering lifecycle, contribute to major technical reviews, and help drive innovative engineering solutions for cutting-edge aerospace and defense initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain MBSE models for complex system-of-systems architectures using Cameo Systems Modeler and MagicDraw.
• Support advanced hypersonic wind tunnel development efforts and related engineering activities.
• Create and maintain modeling standards, guidebooks, and best practices to support collaborative multi-user model development.
• Partner with multidisciplinary engineering teams to define system requirements, interfaces, behaviors, and architecture relationships.
• Apply systems engineering processes across the engineering lifecycle, including requirements definition, allocation, and traceability.
• Support systems engineering lifecycle activities such as technical reviews, requirements management, and milestone execution for defense and aerospace programs.
• Train, mentor, and coach engineering team members in MBSE methodologies, SysML modeling, and model administration.
• Communicate technical and program status using MBSE artifacts, dashboards, and model-driven insights for stakeholders and leadership.
• Lead or facilitate modeling sessions and design reviews to ensure consistency, quality, and alignment with program objectives.
• Contribute to model-based design integration across multidisciplinary engineering teams, including mechanical, aerospace, and systems disciplines.
• Collaborate with requirements management teams and tools to ensure accurate, traceable, and verifiable requirements within the model.
• Support the development and improvement of hypersonic systems, wind tunnel capabilities, and advanced research and development programs.
• Demonstrate initiative by identifying opportunities to improve modeling workflows, tools, and processes within a fast-paced engineering environment.
• Provide guidance and support to team members on best practices for working in multi-user modeling environments.
• Actively participate in cross-functional collaboration, resolving technical issues and contributing to a positive, high-trust team culture.
