We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Systems Engineer to join our team, focusing on the design, development, and optimization of hypersonic test facilities. This position involves the integration of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and other Digital Engineering practices to enhance the performance, reliability, and safety of advanced hypersonic systems. The ideal candidate will have strong technical leadership experience with a background in systems engineering, MBSE, digital modeling, and simulation techniques, with a keen interest in hypersonic technologies.

• Hypersonic Test Facility Design and Integration:
• • Design, develop, and optimize test facilities for hypersonic systems, including wind tunnels, propulsion test beds, and other relevant test environments.
  • Integrate advanced hypersonic testing methodologies, equipment, and systems into facility design and operation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and software engineers) to ensure test facilities meet all functional and operational requirements.
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE):
• • Apply MBSE methodologies to define, model, and simulate system architectures for hypersonic test facilities.
  • Develop and manage digital models of test facility systems, including structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrical components, to enhance decision-making and performance validation.
  • Utilize MBSE tools (such as SysML, Magic Draw, or Cameo Systems Modeler) to ensure seamless integration between the various subsystems of the test facility.
• Digital Engineering and Simulation:
• • Leverage Digital Engineering practices (including simulation-based design, virtual testing, and digital twins) to optimize facility design and testing.
  • Collaborate with simulation teams to create detailed models and simulations for performance analysis of hypersonic test articles and facilities.
  • Integrate high-fidelity models and simulations to predict real-world performance under hypersonic test conditions.
• Documentation and Reporting:
• • Prepare comprehensive technical reports, validation plans, and design documentation, ensuring that all activities comply with relevant standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain clear documentation of MBSE models, simulations, and test results for project reviews and audits.
• Continuous Improvement:
• • Proactively identify and implement process improvements to enhance the performance and efficiency of the test facility design and operation.
  • Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in hypersonic technologies, MBSE, and Digital Engineering tools.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field (Master’s degree preferred).
• Experience:
  
  5+ years of experience in systems engineering, with a focus on aerospace, hypersonic systems, or test facility design.
• Demonstrated experience applying MBSE methodologies (e.g., SysML, UML, and model-based design).
• Experience in the integration of Digital Engineering practices, including simulation-based design, virtual testing, and digital twins.
• Hands-on experience with hypersonic test facilities, such as wind tunnels, shock tubes, or combustion testing.
• Skills and
