Mission Engagement Engineer

About the role

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is hiring a Mission Engagement Engineer to work in Springfield, VA or St. Louis, MO. Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens with an active TS/SCI clearance and be eligible to obtain a CI Poly.

Responsibilities

• Support mission engineering activities for a Digital Engineering Ecosystem (DEE) supporting NGA.
• Work within the Domain Engineering & SME swimlane, bridging mission stakeholders (intelligence and threat analysis, operational and kill web analysis, GIS applications) with the program's digital engineering and MBSE team.
• Translate mission needs into mission threads, measures of performance/effectiveness (MoPs/MoEs), and model-based artifacts, supporting the program's effort to link mission engineering activities directly into the enterprise Digital Twin.
• Support engineering assignments in conformance with program specifications and ensures assigned tasks are completed within estimated time frames and budget constraints.
• Develop and maintain the mission engineering plan, mission threads, and associated measures of performance and effectiveness (MoPs/MoEs) in coordination with mission stakeholders and the DE/MBSE Engineer.
• Support preparation of SysML models representing mission engineering workflows, ensuring interoperability with MBSE and Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A) tools.
• Coordinate with intelligence and threat analysis, mission engineering, operational and kill web analysis, and GIS application stakeholders to capture mission requirements and translate them into engineering artifacts.
• Support model interoperability efforts linking mission engineering data with the broader MBSE/MS&A tool chain and enterprise Digital Thread.
• Contribute to expansion of mission thread support and tracing of external mission threads as the ecosystem integrates additional NGA and external mission stakeholders in later Releases.
• Support delivery of the repository of mission engineering data, including mission threads and MoPs/MoEs, as a Release-based deliverable.
• Participate in Release demonstrations and sprint reviews to present mission engineering progress to government stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Operations Research, Engineering, or a related field, or additional relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
• 5+ years of experience supporting mission engineering, operations analysis, or systems engineering activities within the IC or DoD.
• Familiarity with mission thread development and measures of performance/effectiveness (MoPs/MoEs) methodologies.
• Ability to translate mission and operational requirements into technical and model-based artifacts in coordination with engineering teams.
• Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work across mission and technical stakeholder groups.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience supporting NGA, DoD, or Intelligence Community mission engineering or operations analysis programs.
• Familiarity with SysML, UAF, or other MBSE modeling approaches.
• Exposure to Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A) tools such as AFSIM, STK, or Unreal Engine, or geospatial platforms such as ArcGIS.
• Familiarity with intelligence and threat analysis, operational/kill web analysis, or related mission domains.
• Experience supporting Agile/Scrum delivery environments tracked in Confluence/Jira.
