Sensor System Engineer (SE)/Digital Engineer (DE)

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory•Laurel, MD

11d•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a creative, collaborative systems engineer to help us lead the development and integration of sophisticated sensor systems using digital engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). As a member of the Sensor Systems Engineering Group, you will apply methods, processes, and guidelines to DE/MBSE tools and improve interoperability between analysis tools and models. You will assist in establishing and communicating standards for use of MBSE, technical contributions and collaboration, provide technical direction and ensure timeliness, quality and technical integrity of work. Come be a part of a talented team of engineers and scientists striving to build the next generation sensor systems.
