Systems Engineer

Overview

Job Title:

Systems Engineer

This Systems Engineer role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge aerospace programs and support the full lifecycle of system development, from proposal through design, implementation, test, and deployment. You will define and model complex systems, manage architecture and requirements, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including engineering, system architects, and leadership. The position focuses heavily on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), requirements development and decomposition, and SysML modeling for software-intensive systems.

• Manage program architecture and system requirements across all phases, including proposal, design, implementation, test, and deployment.
• Perform system definition and modeling, including requirements, structure, behavior, and traceability.
• Document and decompose system, subsystem, and component requirements into clear, actionable specifications.
• Allocate requirements to system elements and functions, ensuring alignment with overall system architecture.
• Analyze requirements traceability and verification to confirm that all requirements are properly linked and testable.
• Identify and reconcile requirements conflicts, ambiguities, or gaps by working closely with stakeholders and technical teams.
• Prepare system design documents, reports, and presentations that clearly communicate technical concepts and design decisions.
• Collaborate with engineering teams, system architects, and leadership to ensure system requirements are implemented correctly.
• Review designs, technical documents, and implementation artifacts to confirm that requirements are satisfied.
• Estimate material and labor costs to support planning, proposals, and project execution.
• Develop and maintain SysML models to support software development and system understanding.
• Work with software teams to support verification and validation activities by providing accurate requirements and models.
• Contribute to the improvement of Systems Engineering processes and procedures to enhance efficiency and quality.
• Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders, fostering strong collaboration and alignment.
• Provide technical leadership on projects as needed, including managing schedules and coordinating engineering activities.

• Strong understanding of Systems Engineering principles and requirements management.
• Experience in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), preferably 3–5+ years, with 5–7 years as the target.
• Hands-on experience with SysML modeling for software-intensive systems.
• Proficiency with requirements management tools such as JAMA and DOORS.
• Demonstrated ability to perform requirements gathering, writing, and decomposition for complex systems.
• Ability to create, maintain, and interpret system models to support design and development activities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools for documentation, analysis, and presentations.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills to work closely with engineering, system architects, and leadership.
• Ability to estimate material and labor costs and support proposal development.
• Eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance, including the ability to obtain a DoD Top Secret clearance.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent related experience.
• Experience working with JAMA requirements management software.
• Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering practices and tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler (or similar SysML tools).
• Proficiency in SysML modeling tools and model-based workflows.
• Current Secret or Top Secret security clearance is preferred.
• Experience with Agile project environments and the ability to support project leadership responsibilities.
• Experience in software development or strong understanding of software modeling concepts.
• Experience contributing to or leading efforts to transition traditional engineering practices toward model-based approaches.
• Exposure to verification and validation activities in collaboration with software teams.
• MBSE, SysML, and Jama-related training or certifications are beneficial.
