Job Overview

The Systems Integration Department is charged with identifying, developing, and applying new technologies that can address the Government's most challenging Systems Engineering problems. This is an opportunity for experienced engineers who are highly motivated, innovative, and proactive. This position provides challenging opportunities to apply and expand one's architecture modeling and system integration skillsets. Areas of interest include Model Based Engineering (MBSE, MDA, MDD, MDE), Systems of Systems, architecture modeling, analysis of complex systems, and decision support.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Model architectures of complex systems using standards-based frameworks and languages (e.g. UAF, SysML, UML).
• Develop executable systems engineering models that verify and validate end-user needs.
• Design and develop prototypes, dashboards and/or plugins using Java, Python, and related programming languages.
• System Integration activities that may include application of industry standards such as MOSA standards (e.g. OMS, UCI, FACE, etc.) and setting up executable models to verify and validate interfaces.
• Assist in evaluating architectures using qualitative and quantitative techniques.
• Advise government sponsors and program managers on architecture strategies, digital engineering transformation, technology insertion opportunities, system modernization approaches, technical roadmaps, and engineering decisions that improve mission outcomes and reduce program risk.
• Serve as a technical leader and mentor by providing guidance, feedback, and knowledge sharing to junior engineers while helping shape technical approaches, department capabilities, and sponsor solutions across multiple projects.

Basic Qualifications

• Typically requires less than 1 year of related experience with a related Bachelor's degree, or equivalent combination of related education and work experience.
• Experience with systems engineering methodologies; familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles.
• Familiarity with modeling frameworks and languages such as UAF, SysML, and UML.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and manage system requirements, and to produce logical and functional system designs (system structure, behaviors, and data flows).
• Experience with MATLAB, Python, or other modeling and data analysis software tools.
• Interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) concepts and tools.
• Strong communication skills with demonstrated experience briefing senior government or senior customer stakeholders on status, critical decisions, and technical recommendations.
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Secret U.S Government issued Security Clearance. Per the U.S. Government's eligibility requirements, you must be a U.S Citizen to be considered for a security clearance.
• This position requires a minimum of 3 days on-site.
