Senior Systems Engineer – Digital Engineering / MBSE
About The Position
The Senior Systems Engineer – Digital Engineering / MBSE Innovator will advance digital engineering practices across RTX programs. As a systems engineering and MBSE subject matter expert, this role takes technical ownership of modeling activities, guides program teams in applying MBSE methods, and contributes to the evolution of the Digital Engineering Ecosystem. The engineer leads system-model development, shapes modeling approaches, and ensures model-based artifacts support design, analysis, verification, and program decision-making. The position collaborates across multidisciplinary engineering teams, influences technical direction, and mentors early-career engineers. This is an onsite position in McKinney, Texas, requiring an active and transferable U.S. government-issued Secret clearance before the start date; U.S. citizenship is required for clearance eligibility. The role involves creating SysML models, guiding MBSE implementation, using models to produce specifications and support trade studies and technical performance assessment, and integrating models into digital threads. It also promotes reusable modeling practices and communicates progress, risks, and recommendations to program leadership. The position is typically suited to a candidate with a STEM degree and at least five years of relevant engineering experience, including systems engineering for hardware or integrated hardware/software systems. Experience with SysML modeling tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, or equivalent MagicDraw tools, Teamwork Cloud, and structured MBSE methodologies such as MagicGrid is required.
Requirements
- Typically requires a STEM degree and at least 5 years of relevant engineering experience.
- Experience applying systems engineering to hardware or integrated hardware/software system development.
- Experience developing system requirements, architectures, and interface definitions with traceability across engineering artifacts.
- Experience developing SysML models using Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, or equivalent MagicDraw tools, and collaborating through Teamwork Cloud.
- Experience with MBSE methodologies such as MagicGrid or similar structured modeling frameworks.
- Active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required before the start date; the stated clearance type is DoD Secret, and an active existing clearance is required on day one.
- U.S. citizenship is required because only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Experience leading MBSE adoption, modeling activities, or small modeling teams within engineering programs.
- Familiarity with digital thread concepts, digital twin workflows, and integrating MBSE tools within Digital Engineering environments.
- Experience using Syndeia or similar tools to connect models with requirements, design, or analysis data.
- Experience with engineering design or analysis tools used across the product development lifecycle.
- Exposure to Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) and reusable SysML architectures.
- Experience applying MBSE starter models, modeling standards, and Raytheon Digital Engineering Ecosystem practices.
- Familiarity with data-visualization tools such as Power BI, Kibana, or Grafana.
- Experience working within agile and/or waterfall development methodologies.
Responsibilities
- Lead development of SysML models capturing stakeholder needs, requirements, behavior, architecture, and interfaces.
- Guide MBSE implementation on programs, aligning modeling approaches with systems engineering processes, program objectives, and customer expectations.
- Use system models to generate specifications, perform trade studies, support interface definition, and assess technical performance.
- Drive integration of MBSE models into digital threads, linking requirements, design, and analysis across engineering tools and environments.
- Promote and apply reusable modeling practices, standards, and MBSE starter models to improve consistency and modeling efficiency.
- Mentor Systems Engineers and Modelers, sharing best practices and helping teams adopt MBSE workflows.
- Communicate technical progress, risks, and recommendations to program leadership, presenting model insights to support engineering decisions.
