Georgia Tech Research Institute · Huntsville, AL · 3 wk ago
Information TechnologyFull-time

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry. GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.

About the Unit

The Digital Engineering Branch (DEB) within the Applied Systems Laboratory (ASL) conducts applied research in model-based systems engineering for defense applications. This position will support multiple DoD programs focused on Future Vertical Lift (FVL) and Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), applying digital engineering methodologies to develop MOSA-compliant avionics solutions. The role involves developing system models using industry-standard tools, creating data architectures, and supporting mission engineering efforts for airworthy systems. Work includes collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams and presentation of technical findings to government sponsors. This position will be on-site at the GTRI Huntsville Research Facility.

Purpose

The Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) develops and executes novel system model-based approaches to define, design, analyze, and document system development. The MBSE Researcher applies MBSE tool suites to enable the use of model-based best practices in DoD acquisition and system life cycle support. This position supports stakeholders and sponsors in the application of MBSE to trade space analysis, design, acquisition, and sustainment.

Responsibilities

  • Create product or system definitions and conduct initial requirements analysis.
  • Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes.
  • Author UAF models capturing stakeholder needs and resulting enterprise architectures.
  • Author SysML models capturing system requirements and design.
  • Author data models capturing system data requirements and design.
  • Analyze product or system functionality as defined by requirements.
  • Interface with and learn how to work with disparate engineering teams for technical tasking.
  • Document modeling processes and best practices for MBSE implementation.
  • Support FACE data model development for MOSA conformance testing efforts.
  • Develop mission engineering models for defense aviation programs.
  • Contribute to technical presentations and reports for government sponsors.
  • Participate in Agile systems engineering processes and team collaboration.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
  • Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and tools.
  • Proficiency with Cameo Systems Modeler or similar MBSE platforms.
  • Experience developing SysML models.
  • Experience with UAF (Unified Architecture Framework) modeling.
  • Demonstrated ability to execute systems engineering processes including requirements development and architectural analysis.

Qualifications

  • Active Secret Clearance.
  • Has or is pursuing Master's degree in Systems Engineering or related field.
  • Experience with FACE (Future Airborne Capability Environment) data modeling.
  • Experience with UML (Unified Modeling Language).
  • Background in aerospace or defense systems projects.
  • Experience with CONOPS development and system architecture modeling.
  • Familiarity with DO-178 airworthiness standards.
  • Experience presenting technical work to stakeholders or sponsors.
  • Project or team leadership experience in engineering contexts.
  • GPA of 3.5 or higher.

This position requires U.S. citizenship. Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain an active security clearance.
