• Lead and support systems engineering activities across the lifecycle, including requirements development, architecture, design, integration, test, verification, validation, and sustainment.
• Develop and maintain system and system-of-systems documentation, including specifications, interface control documents, technical reports, configuration baselines, and engineering review materials.
• Apply model-based systems engineering methods to create, refine, and manage model artifacts, requirements, behaviors, structures, interfaces, allocations, and traceability products.
• Support digital engineering and MBSE initiatives for Navy and DoD programs, including model development, model-based analysis, and digital-thread support.
• Partner with data scientists, software engineers, cyber teams, platform integrators, and program managers to align technical solutions with mission needs.
• Support acquisition engineering activities, including technical baseline development, risk assessments, cost/schedule/performance tradeoffs, readiness reviews, and analyses of alternatives.
• Participate in Enterprise Change Requests, configuration management activities, engineering reviews, and technical working groups.
• Produce clear technical and executive-level briefings for government stakeholders, senior leaders, and cross-functional teams.
• Apply data-driven decision tools, modeling environments, and analytical frameworks to support engineering assessments and program decisions.
• Support Navy C4I, platform integration, mission architecture, fleet readiness, interoperability, and certification-related activities as required by the program.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 7+ years of relevant systems engineering, model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, acquisition engineering, or complex system-of-systems experience.
• Experience supporting DoD, Navy, NAVWAR, PEO C4I, or other mission-focused government programs.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering lifecycle processes, including requirements analysis, architecture, integration, verification, validation, risk management, and technical documentation.
• Experience creating technical documentation, briefings, reports, models, or decision-support products for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work effectively across engineering, cyber, software, integration, platform, program, and customer teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical details into clear recommendations.

Qualifications

• Must be able to obtain and maintain Active DoD Secret Clearance.

Skills

• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, IBM Rhapsody, or similar modeling environments.
• Familiarity with SysML, UML, requirements management, architecture frameworks, or digital engineering practices.
• Experience supporting Navy C4I systems, platform integration, mission architecture, fleet readiness, RMF, cyber, interoperability, or certification activities.
• Experience working with data scientists, analytics teams, modeling teams, or data-driven decision-support tools.
• Microsoft Power Platform experience or PL-900 Certification.
• Knowledge of Navy systems, Navy processes, NAVWAR environments, or classified customer spaces.
