About The Position

Leidos' Defense Systems Land Systems is seeking a Model-Based Systems Engineer to join the IFPC Inc 2 systems engineering team. The IFPC Inc 2 is a ground-based, mobile system that aims to combat cruise missiles and unmanned aircraft systems. As part of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability program (IFPC), the system protects and defends civilian and military infrastructure and bridges the gap between tactical short range air defense systems and our strategic systems. This Model-Based Systems Engineer will join a team of seven other systems engineers, led by a senior systems engineer. In this role the Model-Based Systems Engineer will work with the broader engineering team to develop systems engineering artifacts in a Model-Based Systems Engineering environment using SysML and Cameo, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, Test Reports, and CONOPS. The Model-Based Systems Engineer will need to work independently on these efforts, defining their own tasking derived from customer needs and contractual documents, but MBSE technical oversight will be provided when needed. Each effort will require different specific model artifacts, but broadly the Model-Based Systems Engineer will use Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML to develop system architecture content (bdd / ibd), and system behavioral content (act / stm). The Model-Based Systems Engineer will use JAMA software for requirements development and management. This position does not necessarily require an MBSE Subject Matter Expert, but the role does minimally require experience working independently on MBSE models, some model customization, and the ability to communicate with non-Systems Engineering stakeholders who are less familiar with MBSE approaches. The selected candidate will interface with program management and design engineers to support a program’s systems engineering needs throughout its design life cycle, including modeling system behavior, defining the system architecture, dictating system interfaces, performing requirements verification, and helping develop test schemes. The selected candidate may present the systems engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal design reviews and may serve as a customer liaison for MBSE content. The Model-Based Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization, which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments. When the efforts end, the Model-Based Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio.

Requirements

A Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 4+ years of experience or an MS with 2+ years.
Experience using MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler and/or other Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) modeling tools
Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
