About The Position

Incorporated in 2002, The Marlin Alliance is a digital transformation company dedicated to ensuring our clients compete and win in tomorrow's digital world. We specialize in creating technical solutions that allow for seamless execution of automated business processes and the generation of governed, machine-consumable data. From strategic planning to advanced analytics and cybersecurity, our team provides cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary solutions. We are seeking motivated professionals who share our agile, solution-oriented mindset and are ready to deliver the real, practical results relied upon by our clients. The Model Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) II will develop models, architectural products, and digital artifacts for a System of Systems (SoS) in accordance with standards, best practices, policies, and procedures. In this role, the Model Based Systems Engineer will be an integral team member supporting assured Command and Control capabilities for our DoD customer within the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) in San Diego, CA. Working within secure frameworks, the engineer collaborates with multidisciplinary stakeholders to modernize naval capabilities, requiring a minimum SECRET clearance with a preference for Top Secret (TS) eligibility to support sensitive, mission-focused initiatives.

Requirements

• Four (4) years of professional experience performing Model Based Systems Engineering.
• Experience with cross-platform collaborative MBSE/digital environments or equivalent (e.g., MagicDraw/Cameo Systems Modeler, Sparx System Enterprise Architect, Rational Rhapsody, System Architect, etc.), which provide tools to design, track, visualize, and analyze all aspects of systems in standard-compliant models and diagrams.
• Knowledge of the Department of Defense Architecture Framework/Unified Architecture Framework (DoDAF/UAF).
• Experience providing functional knowledge and technical support of developing enterprise architecture to support MBSE to the NOA Chief Engineer. This support shall include data structure supporting Systems Modeling Language (SySML) and development of integration with current data models and tools in use.
• Experience tracking cybersecurity implementation across the acquisition lifecycle to make recommendations on cybersecurity risks and mitigations in support of IPTs, SETRs, Platform Technical Review Boards (PTRBs), Configuration Control Board (CCBs).
• Experience developing engineering technical reports, analysis, briefings, and meeting minutes related to IATA responsibilities, SoS and Capability analysis, Cloud Security Development capabilities, Trusted Security and Networks (TSN) and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), and Industrial Control System (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA).
• Experience tracking and documenting cybersecurity evaluations throughout the engineering, procurement, certification, and sustainment phases of acquisition (e.g., RMF, SETR, cyber risk to mission, and cybersecurity readiness).
• Experience identifying risks associated with the development of enterprise architectures to address system of systems cybersecurity designs, maximizing common and inheritable security controls in support of a defense in depth strategy through the utilization of digital engineering methods for efforts in the RDT&E phase of the acquisition life cycle.
• Bachelors degree in engineering, operations research, or other sciences where advanced math skills are utilized (e.g. business, mathematics, statistics, and probability) or relevant experience in lieu of degree.
• US Citizenship is required.
• No Dual Citizenship.
• Active Secret clearance required; TS SCI clearance highly preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, or similar.
• Familiarity with DoDAF, UPDM, or related architecture frameworks.
• Knowledge of system simulation and modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink).
• Understanding of software development and integration processes.
• Certification in MBSE or related field is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Apply modeling to support a system or system of systems (SoS) requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation activities throughout the acquisition lifecycle phases.
• Manage/coordinate information and resources to meet digital thread-related objectives.
• Implement a model-based culture, leveraging capabilities of the digital enterprise environment infrastructure of the organization.
• Utilize model data support to enable the creation of a digital thread across other engineering disciplines (e.g., cyber and configuration management)
