Lockheed Martin Space is seeking an Electro‑Optical MBSE Systems Engineer to join our team in Sunnyvale, CA or Louisville, CO. The Model Based Systems Engineer supports the development, upkeep, and documentation of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts for Electro‑Optical designs using the CAMEO Suite throughout the product lifecycle—from concept through deployment. Working under the guidance of senior MBSE leads, you will help define system architecture, interfaces, and requirements;

ensure traceability of those elements; and translate model data into clear, actionable deliverables (Word, Excel, diagrams) that serve as the primary communication medium for cross‑functional teams. The role also involves close collaboration with engineers, program managers, and subject matter experts, as well as providing peer level assistance and mentorship on model usage and best practices. The selected candidate will also lead and assist a team in getting an unclassified Teamwork Cloud instantiation up and running for a few different efforts.

• Experience as a CPE and/or RSE.
• Experience with Cameo or MBSE Modeling.
• Experience with products that include Software and Circuitware Development and Integration.
• Experience defining system‑level architecture.

• Experience in Class C/D, IRAD, or “go‑fast” development environment.
• Experience making quick decisions with little information.
• Experience determining where the risks lie and where the focus of the team should be, and working with the team to maintain that focus.
• Experience identifying risks and working with the team to set priorities and stay focused on the most important objectives related to burning down the risks.
• Experience leading or interfacing with medium to large subcontracts (i.e. Antenna development or Bus Supplier).
• Experience across all program life cycles on large and small programs, from initial development through post‑launch support and mission operations.
