• Proficiency with SysML and development of BDDs, IBDs, state diagrams, sequence diagrams, and use case diagrams.
• Demonstrated real-world experience applying MBSE to support the systems engineering V-lifecycle process, from stakeholder needs and requirements decomposition through architecture, integration, verification, and validation.
• Demonstrated experience with requirements management, decomposition, derivation, allocation, and traceability within a system model.
• Experience defining interfaces and generating ICDs from model content.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering lifecycle processes, including requirements development, architecture, integration, verification, and validation.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Department of Defense TS/SCI security clearance is preferred at time of hire. Candidates must be able to obtain a TS/SCI clearance within a reasonable amount of time from date of hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
• U.S. citizenship is required.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting space, satellite, launch, ground-system, or other aerospace hardware programs.
• Experience with MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with DOORS, Jama, or other requirements-management tools.
• Experience developing verification and validation artifacts from model-based requirements and architecture.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain SysML-based system models throughout the development lifecycle.
• Create and manage key SysML artifacts, including Block Definition Diagrams (BDDs), Internal Block Diagrams (IBDs), state machine diagrams, sequence diagrams, and use cases.
• Capture, allocate, derive, and trace system requirements within the model.
• Generate and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) from model-defined interfaces.
• Support system architecture, trade studies, interface definition, and requirements verification activities.
• Partner with systems, hardware, software, test, and program teams to ensure the model accurately reflects the system design and requirements baseline.
• Establish and maintain model quality, consistency, traceability, and configuration-management practices.
• Manage verification and validation (V&V) activities using MBSE, including modeling verification methods, tracing requirements to verification artifacts, and monitoring verification status within the system model.
• Advocate for digital engineering (DE) and MBSE adoption across programs, promoting model-based practices that improve technical consistency, traceability, collaboration, and lifecycle execution.

Benefits

• An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development.
• Research oriented work, alongside award winning teams developing practical solutions for our nation’s security
• Flexible schedules with every other Friday off work, if desired (9/80 schedule)
