Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Systems Engineer

General Dynamics Electric Boat•Groton, CT

4d•Hybrid

About The Position

Electric Boat’s (EB’s) systems engineering organizations are tasked with using established and newly developed systems engineering practices to drive technical integration throughout our submarine design programs. The importance of this challenge is amplified as our nation’s submarines become increasingly more capable and complex. It is imperative that we establish modern systems engineering tool-sets and processes that will enable EB to deliver the product that the Navy requires. A key element of establishing these tools and processes will be the implementation of model based systems engineering (MBSE). Our organizations are seeking systems engineers to support the implementation of MBSE across the enterprise primarily to support our future programs.

A minimum of 5 years of current or prior work experience in engineering at EB, another U.S. Defense Contractor, or within the U.S. Department of Defense
The ability to work independently
Communicate effectively with teams of varied technical and programmatic backgrounds
An understanding of systems engineering processes

Nice To Haves

Experience working with Siemens Teamcenter NX
Experience implementing systems engineering processes
Experience working with IBM DOORS and/or Dassault Systems Cameo Systems Modeler
Experience working with requirements documents for existing EB programs
Experience in working with EB procurement specifications and/or vendors

Responsibilities

Assessing current internal and external MBSE processes to identify best practices and lessons learned to extrapolate onto a larger scale
Lead and/or support a variety of MBSE piloting efforts at EB, including those that might involve external stakeholders
Assess the associated costs and benefits of potential MBSE program and digital toolset solutions
Lead and/or support the scoping and execution of a working group or groups to coordinate EB’s MBSE efforts and ensure the steady growth and implantation of lessons learned from MBSE pilots
Perform modeling in Cameo Systems Modeler; create functional and logical models of submarine systems
Develop and execute iterative plan(s) to achieve a realistic MBSE end-state for implementation at EB, including processes, procedures, and digital tool-sets.
Benchmarking EB’s capabilities against industry via attending MBSE conferences
Identifying specific action plans to achieve EB’s vision for MBSE organizationally, technically, and programmatically
Work with EB subject matter experts to identify how to transform existing shipbuilding processes and data to support MBSE implementation
Work closely with Navy and industry partner representatives to ensure EB’s implementation of MBSE is aligned with our customers and partners
Additionally, there will be frequent interaction with EB and Navy leadership, as well as with industry partners, customers, and suppliers
