MBSE Engineer

Regular

AV is looking for a highly talented Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) to support the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Targets and Countermeasures (MDA/DTTC) program office. In this role, you will apply systems engineering principles within a digital engineering framework to create, analyze, and maintain system architecture models. You will collaborate with government leads, prime contractors, and cross-functional engineering teams to trace requirements, model behavioral and structural architectures, and support technical baseline reviews.

• System Modeling & Architecture:
  Develop and maintain descriptive system models using SysML to capture system behaviors, structure, interfaces, and operational requirements across MDA programs.
• Requirements Traceability:
  Map system-level and component-level requirements directly to architecture artifacts, ensuring end-to-end traceability, verification matrices, and baseline integrity.
• Digital Engineering Integration:
  Support the implementation of MDA Digital Engineering initiatives by linking MBSE models with external tools, simulations, and data repositories.
• Technical Baseline Reviews:
  Assist in preparing and presenting model-centric artifacts for major program milestone reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR, CCBs).
• Interface & Trade Studies:
  Conduct architectural trade studies, analyze interface definition documents (IDDs/ICDs), and model system interfaces to identify gaps and resolve integration risks.
• Configuration & Data Management:
  Maintain version control and configuration baseline compliance for SysML models in accordance with program data management standards.

• BA/BS Degree.
• 7+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs.
• Active DoD Secret Clearance
• Demonstrated proficiency with SysML (Systems Modeling Language) and core systems engineering frameworks (DoDAF, UAF).
• Hands‑on experience with industry‑standard MBSE modeling tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler / Cameo Enterprise Architect, Magic Draw, Sparx Enterprise Architect).
• Communication:
  Ability to distill complex system architectures into clear, concise diagrams, technical documentation, and briefings for multidisciplinary stakeholders.

• Preferred Bachelor's Degree in:
  Systems Engineer;
  Computer Science;
  Software Engineering;
  Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) field
• Experience supporting MDA programs (e.g., Targets and Countermeasures, Ground-Based Midcourse Defense, THAAD, Aegis BMD, or C2
  
  BMC).
• OMG‑Certified Systems Modeling Professional (OCSMP) certification (Fundamental, Intermediate, or Advanced).
• Working knowledge of requirement management tools (e.g., DOORS, Cameo Requirements Plugin) and issue‑tracking platforms (Jira, Confluence).
• Experience integrating MBSE models with analytical/simulation environments (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or OpenMBEE).
• Familiarity with DoD Systems Engineering processes, CDRLs, and technical baseline governance.

This position requires access to information that is subject to compliance with the International Traffic Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”). In order to comply with the requirements of the ITAR and/or the EAR, applicants will be asked to provide specific documentation to verify U.S. person status under the ITAR and the EAR. A “U.S. person” according to their definition is a U.S. citizen, U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder), or protected individual such as a refugee, or asylee.

See 22 CFR § 120.15.

Some positions will require current U.S. Citizenship due to contract requirements.
