The position contributes to defense systems and solutions for customers with critical mission needs.

Requirements

• Active Top Secret security clearance.
• U.S. citizenship.
• Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or a related STEM discipline and at least 2 years of experience; or a bachelor’s degree in engineering, general science, or physics and at least 4 years of core systems engineering and systems architecture experience.
• Hands-on experience developing architectural system concepts, structural diagrams such as BDDs and IBDs, and model-based configurations in Cameo Systems Modeler or other No Magic tools.
• Experience building and applying template scripts, such as Apache Velocity, for report automation and technical documentation generation within system modeling environments.
• Experience leading or coordinating engineering tasks, with foundational technical project management capabilities and the ability to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent oral communication skills and experience delivering internal or external briefings, design reviews, or technical demonstrations.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or a related STEM discipline with at least 2 years of experience.
• Experience implementing baseline risk-management tracking methodologies or risk-mitigation structures within SysML models.
• Proficiency in model troubleshooting, parsing script errors, and structural verification and validation rules.
• Familiarity with open-architecture paradigms, Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), or enterprise product-line system integration concepts.

Responsibilities

• Lead and expand the MBSE conceptual model space to capture stakeholder requirements and establish end-to-end systems architecture and requirement-to-verification traceability.
• Formulate and lead multidisciplinary requirements and architecture working groups, aligning engineering development and technical project management milestones with expectations.
• Develop, debug, and implement Apache Velocity/Velocity Template Language scripts in Cameo Systems Modeler for report automation, documentation compilation, and dynamic Interface Control Document generation.
• Drive system integration by linking engineering toolsets and open-source data models across the product lifecycle and simulating digital integrated ecosystems.
• Model system-architecture risks and establish standardized risk-tracking methodology.
• Troubleshoot models, validate templates, and refine syntax to ensure high-fidelity reports and consistent data in model repositories.
• Collaborate across matrixed organizations.
