About The Position

KBR's National Security Solutions team provides high-end engineering and advanced technology solutions to customers in the intelligence and national security communities. This role involves researching and developing descriptive architecture models of complex kill chains, kill webs, and effects-based solutions reflecting military employment. The models designed will enable gap analysis, highlight new technology applications, capture study details, and inform additional analysis efforts, focusing on systems-of-systems modeling from tactical to strategic levels. The engineer will work at the forefront of the Mission Engineering community, informing modeling styles and standards, innovating usage, and driving digital engineering for systems-of-systems mission applications. Utilizing MBSE software tools (e.g., Cameo), the role involves developing descriptive models, conducting analysis, and producing deliverables to inform solutions for operational challenges faced by warfighters, enabling mission success. This position requires collaborative teaming in an innovative environment, delivering emerging technologies and future concepts for complex warfighting scenarios. The engineer will be an integral member of a government/contractor team, supporting the customer's organization from conceptual design and analysis to integration and testing, constructing, managing, and conducting discrete mission engineering and analysis study tasks to evaluate legacy architectures and new technologies/capabilities in new mission concepts of employment to meet evolving Joint mission objectives.
