The role requires an active DoD Secret clearance or higher, or eligibility for Secret/TS clearance as described in the posting, and U.S. citizenship. The engineer works with little or no guidance or leads complex tasks, applying systems engineering and SysML modeling to military weapon systems and associated support systems. The role includes maintaining model-backed interface definitions, supporting requirements traceability and change impact analysis, contributing to model-based verification planning, preparing review-ready stakeholder views, and supporting modeling conventions, governance, and publishing. The position requires a master's degree in a technical or scientific field, or a bachelor's degree in such a field plus four additional years of relevant experience, as well as 10 or more years of systems engineering/MBSE experience on DoD mission systems or equivalent complex programs.
