Torch Technologies is seeking a USSPACECOM J8 Model-Based System Engineer 4 to provide Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) support to United States Space Command (USSPACECOM). The position requires an individual possessing a wide range of skills and demonstrated experience in MBSE in support of combatant command (CCMD) strategies, plans, operations, assessments, and Department of Defense (DoD) objectives.

As a USSPACECOM J8 Model-Based System Engineer 4 your duties will include the following but not limited to:

• Integrate Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) concepts and techniques that enable analysts to connect space with other war fighting domains.
• Ensure integration of MBSE provides the groundwork to transition M&S tools easily to an MBSE environment for future development and networking to other data sources.
• Develop environment to provide a development platform for simulation using MBSE models, tools, and data (Red Threat data sets, Blue Force laydowns (both terrestrial and on-orbit), White Commercial constellations, Unified Data Library (UDL), etc).
• Provide knowledge to support data storage, configuration control processes, and multi-level security development within the environment.
• Defines, designs and develops system requirements.
• Assesses architecture and current hardware limitations, defines and designs complex system specifications, input/output processes and working parameters for hardware/software compatibility.
