Junior Systems Engineer (Digital Engineering Process Support)
About The Position
KBR/Trinzic is seeking a Junior Systems Engineer to support a US Space Industry Prime Partner in Chantilly, Virginia. The role is performed on site and requires a current, active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph. Under the supervision of experienced systems engineering professionals, the engineer will help develop and apply digital engineering (DE) processes and methods for enterprise-wide adoption, drawing on industry practices and trends. The position supports modernization of systems engineering and acquisition processes through Digital Engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Work may include supporting MBSE processes, digital thread frameworks, model portfolios and repositories, model integration and interoperability, modeling languages, reusable model libraries, model quality and review practices, and DE-based acquisition data item descriptions. The engineer will help teams and leaders implement MBSE methods, support federated modeling across the enterprise and mission partners, and help ensure that models, data, and information are structured and accessible to support organizational goals. The position is intended for an early-career engineer who will apprentice to experienced MBSE practitioners, follow the team's modeling methodology guidelines, support engineering and MS&A processes required by the SOW, and communicate modeling concepts and best practices to stakeholders at varying levels. The work environment is on site, travel is minimal, and working hours are standard.
