Required: Bachelor’s degree in systems engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or related STEM field from an accredited college/university
Proficient in DOORS (or equivalent) for requirements management
Competent in developing and interpreting SysML diagrams (e.g., block definition, activity, sequence, state)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for interfacing with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders
Familiarity with systems engineering lifecycle standards (e.g., INCOSE SE Handbook, MIL-STD-499, EIA-632)
Ability to assess and manage technical risks and develop actionable mitigation plans
Strong technical writing skills for briefings, reports, and formal documentation
Experienced with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Visio, and Project
Ability to travel approximately 10% of the time
Committed to mission success, technical integrity, and collaborative execution in a national defense environment

Nice To Haves

Exposure to project engineering tasks such as planning and status tracking is preferred
Preferred: Master’s degree in systems engineering or a related discipline is desirable and may substitute for 1 year of experience from an accredited college/university
Experience using Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) for MBSE documentation and integration
Experience supporting technical reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) for MDA or equivalent defense programs
Working knowledge of DoDAF or similar system architecture frameworks
INCOSE ASEP/CSEP certification, or experience with Earned Value Management (EVM) or scheduling tools, is a plus

Responsibilities

Lead and maintain system, subsystem, and interface requirements across the program lifecycle; ensure traceability and compliance with MDA standards
Develop and manage system-level verification plans, procedures, and compliance matrices
Plan and support execution of system-level verification events (e.g., reviews, inspections, tests)
Conduct and maintain technical risk assessments, mitigation plans, and risk tracking documentation
Interface regularly with cross-functional teams including propulsion, software, hardware, test, GNC, quality, and safety
Collaborate with customer and supplier stakeholders to communicate requirements changes, verification status, and risk posture
Support development of and maintain Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts using SysML and Cameo/MagicDraw
Participate in configuration management, change control, and formal design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR)
Assist in technical planning, schedule alignment, and tracking of engineering deliverables
