About The Position

ENSCO is seeking a Lead System Architect to work directly with Government mission leaders and independently governed program teams delivering elements of a critical space mission capability. The role builds trusted relationships and shared technical evidence to coordinate organizations that may have different architecture visions, acquisition paths, technical baselines, funding profiles, and delivery schedules. The position supports the MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT) effort, providing systems engineering and integration support to the Space Force’s Space Systems Command and its acquisition of military satellite communications systems. The mission involves global secure, survivable, and protected communications for the nation’s warfighters. The role provides technical leadership and oversight for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) across the program, establishing and maintaining modeling strategy, architecture, governance, and integrated system models.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field.
At least 5 years of experience in satellite systems, spacecraft development, or aerospace engineering, including at least 4 years of hands-on experience with Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw or comparable enterprise MBSE environments.
Demonstrated experience leading MBSE efforts for complex systems.
Strong working knowledge of systems engineering principles across architecture, requirements, interfaces, verification, validation, and configuration management.
Demonstrated experience developing and managing complex system models using SysML.
Experience developing model structures, modeling conventions, viewpoints, relationships, and reusable modeling patterns.
Experience establishing traceability among system architecture, requirements, interfaces, behaviors, and verification information.
Experience with model configuration management, baselining, version control, and model governance.
Ability to assess complex system models for technical completeness, consistency, and quality.
Ability to translate engineering concepts and system relationships into coherent model structures that support technical decision-making.
Demonstrated ability to coordinate technical activities across multidisciplinary engineering teams and organizations.
Active DoD Secret security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required.

Responsibilities

Serve as the Lead System Architect for MBSE, providing technical leadership, direction, and oversight for system modeling activities across the program.
Develop and maintain the program’s MBSE strategy, modeling approach, architecture, governance, and roadmap in alignment with systems engineering objectives and Digital Engineering initiatives.
Define and maintain model architecture, including model organization, decomposition, viewpoints, relationships, naming conventions, modeling standards, and patterns.
Lead development and maintenance of integrated system models representing architecture, requirements, behaviors, functions, interfaces, verification relationships, and other technical-baseline elements.
Establish and maintain traceability among mission needs, operational capabilities, architecture, requirements, interfaces, verification activities, and engineering artifacts.
Define approaches for integrating and, where appropriate, federating models and engineering data from government organizations, contractors, and other stakeholders.
Evaluate contractor-developed models and modeling approaches for consistency with program architecture, requirements, technical-baseline objectives, and modeling standards.
Manage the configuration of a Teamwork Cloud database employing multiple Project Usages.
Manage data connectivity between Cameo System Modeler and IBM Rational DOORS.
Work with requirements engineers to establish and maintain relationships and traceability between modeled architecture and authoritative system requirements.
Work with interface engineering teams to ensure interfaces, logical and physical connections, exchanges, and dependencies are consistently represented in the model.
Work with verification and test organizations to incorporate verification methods, relationships, evidence, and system behavior into the modeling environment as appropriate.
Coordinate technical activities across multidisciplinary engineering teams and organizations.
