• Establish and manage digital system models to ensure traceability between requirements, architecture, design elements, and test artifacts.
• Support development of system requirements, interface control documents (ICDs), and architecture artifacts using model-based approaches.
• Perform system modeling activities including operational views, logical and physical architectures, interface definitions, and parametric analyses.
• Ensure bidirectional traceability between mission requirements, system functions, hardware/software components, and verification methods.
• Facilitate model reviews, configuration management, and model governance in alignment with DoD and Navy standards.
• Evaluate overall project design considerations including technical feasibility, cost, schedule, cybersecurity, and potential operational impacts.
• Ensure systems meet operational and technical requirements while adhering to established standards.
• Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments, trade studies, and system performance evaluations using model-driven data.
• Support continuous improvement efforts, applying lessons learned to future designs and development processes.
• Assume ownership of configuration management for official documents and develop and present a configuration management plan that defines document control, version tracking, change approval, and maintenance procedures
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (hardware, software, cybersecurity, test, and integration) to maintain alignment between system models and implementation.
