This position involves providing Model Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) analysis support to the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) PMS 408 - Naval Expeditionary Missions (EXM) Program Office. The role includes ongoing analytical support, and program management, as well as administrative support for various program objectives. Key responsibilities include delivering comprehensive analysis, aiding in the management of acquisition and logistics projects, and collaborating closely with team members to ensure effective program execution and management.

• Apply formal application of model-based systems engineering techniques and tools in executing Systems Engineering (SE) activities consistent with Industry, DOD, and Department of Navy standards and best practices. This includes executing the following activities:
• Requirements analysis, modeling with traceability between requirements and from requirements to system/subsystems, to system functionality, and to test constructs and other model objects.
• Develop and manage DOD Architecture Framework (DODAF)-described views.
• Expeditionary Medical Systems analysis and decomposition, including development of internal block diagrams, block definition diagrams, and other custom views and diagrams.
• Activity/behavior modeling.
• Identify interface definitions.
• Test support, including development of Requirements Traceability and Verification Matrix (RTVMs), Performance Specifications (PSPECs), and test plans in modeling tools.
• Simulation and other analysis (including but not limited to trade-off analysis).
• Apply industry/DOD/DON Systems Engineering guidance, including INCOSE SE Handbook, to SE activities.
• Apply standard modeling languages, including Unified Modeling Language, Systems Modeling Language, and Unified Architecture Framework, to conduct SE activities.
• Apply architecture frameworks and leverage reference models, including the DOD Architecture Framework (DODAF) and Naval Federated Architecture Reference Models (NFARM), to develop SE models.
• Employ DON-approved modeling tools and MBSE environments, including the Naval Integrated Modeling Environment (Naval IME) and Cameo Systems Model, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, and Teamwork Cloud.
• Execute SE activities in modeling tools, export tailored and standard reports (e.g., requirements traceability and verification matrices, performance specifications, system and subsystem specifications, interface control documents, test plans, tables, diagrams, and briefs) from models, and process and import data (e.g., tables) into the model to update model objects.
• Utilize Velocity template/report engine and Groovy (or comparable Magic Draw-compatible) languages.
• Identify standard operating procedures to support 408/EXMED-specific SE activities, in the absence of industry/DOD/DON standards/guidance and augment existing guidance to improve fidelity and actionability of models and other SE products.
• Apply SE guidance and MBSE techniques to managing systems, system components, systems of systems, families of systems, and enterprise architectures.
• Communicate MBSE contributions to broader Navy and joint mission objectives.
• Demonstrate the ability to work independently or in a small team, use problem-solving skills, adapt quickly to changing priorities, and maintain effective communication and organizational abilities for collaborating with diverse teams and stakeholders. Willingness to mentor non-engineers and lead technical reviews as necessary. The role offers a hybrid work schedule (remote and on-site).

• Secret security clearance is required.
• Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field with 8+ years relevant experience.
• Experience with DoD acquisition lifecycle and systems engineering processes (e.g., per DoDI 5000.97).
• (Highly Preferred) INCOSE Certification (Certified Systems Engineering Professional) or ESEP (Expert Systems Engineering Professional).
• (Preferred) DAU/DOD Digital Engineering Credentials CENG 001, CLE 084, and/or LOG 0590.
• (Highly Preferred) DoD 8140/8570 Certifications to overlap with Cyber and IT work (e.g., Security+, CISSP, or CEH).
• Travel:
  Requires local area travel with occasional travel CONUS (approximately 10%).
• Ability to work onboard Navy ships or other platforms for short testing periods (approximately 1%-2%).

• Project Team Management…
