Model Based Systems Engineer

About the role

We are hiring for multiple positions that are Model Based Systems Engineers at the mid-level and senior-level experience range in Boulder, CO. You will be working closely with a talented distributed multi-contractor team to assist in the design, implementation, and maintenance of critical defense systems through classic and modern Systems Engineering techniques. Additionally, we are tasked with improving the overall project management discipline of our clients by increasing collaboration and innovation and introducing techniques that promote adaptability and flexibility in the face of unpredictable circumstances, and that optimize return on investment expenditures.

This person should have training and experience in Systems Engineering practices to support the mission design work, process definition, and baseline management, with deep experience in Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE). Experience with Ground Based Radars (GBRs) missions to be significant bonuses for this role. This role will work at the intersection of requirements development, systems design, and integration testing in a fast-paced defense environment.

What you'll do

• Apply MBSE practices and tools to conduct requirements derivation (system, sub-system, element, component levels), analysis, and documentation supporting Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) definition and baseline design
• Build complex digital twin to perform rapid trade studies and anticipate potential physical constraints
• Contribute to and support the System Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), and Test Readiness Review (TRR) processes
• Participate in derivation and traceability of MBSE-led test driven design and contribute to associated technical documentation
• Support development of an Integration and Test Prototype (ITP)- Work as an integrated team member applying Agile principles to manage and execute Work In Progress
• Support integration, test, and Operational Acceptance (OA) activities across government-directed sites in later phases
• Participate in proposal support activities as the program progresses through gates

Required Qualifications

• Active DoD security clearance (Secret minimum; TS/SCI preferred)
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, with demonstrated application of MBSE methodologies
• Proficiency in MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo)
• Experience with requirements derivation, management, and traceability (e.g., DOORS)
• Experience with technical document baseline management (e.g., ARAS)
• Experience with digital engineering tools (e.g., MATLAB, STK (Systems Tool Kit), Ansys ModelCenter)
• Familiarity with DoD acquisition processes, systems reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR), and defense program documentation standards
• Experience with integration and test environments a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field

Preferred/Bonus Qualifications

• Background in radar, ground systems, space systems, or related DoD mission areas
• Experience on Space Force or Missile Defense Agency programs
• Familiarity with Agile systems engineering practices
• Prior work on prototype development or operational acceptance programs
