The Vehicle Systems Engineer focuses on the development and management of advanced MOSA-based vehicle system architectures for new and existing platform designs. This role emphasizes solid systems architecture engineering, decomposing activities and behaviors at the system and subsystem levels, maturing open‑system and subsystem interfaces, and modeling and documenting them using a Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) process supported by industry‑standard tools such as CAMEO.

• Develop high‑level architecture diagrams for multiple platform aspects using industry evaluation and trade studies.
• Accurately capture and review connectivity diagrams (SysML IBDs and BDDs at system/subsystem level, electrical schematics at component level) in MBSE or electrical design tools.
• Track and manage component and interface lists throughout the system model.
• Decompose and describe platform and subsystem behaviors using SysML diagrams.
• Work with design engineering to advise and review lower‑level designs for compliance with intended architecture and traceability to higher‑level components.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or related engineering field.
• Minimum 5 years of engineering experience; fewer years may be considered with an advanced degree.
• Broad knowledge of systems engineering and other technical engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, etc.).
• Experience in one of these specialized architectures highly desired:
  • Mobility systems (engine and transmission, drive‑by‑wire, vehicle electronics interfacing, CAN communications, etc.)
  • Vehicle electronics systems (schematic development, data networking, etc.)
  • Video systems (camera, processing, display, etc.)
• Proven experience with MBSE and associated tools, specifically CAMEO.
• Eligibility to obtain U.S. security clearance (non‑U.S. citizens may not be eligible).
• Ability to climb on/off, work in, and around military vehicles; must pass ASR test (Anthropometric Size Requirement).

• Healthcare including medical, dental, vision, HSA and Flex Spending.
• Competitive base pay, incentive pay that rewards individual and team performance.
• 401(k) match (6%).
• Educational assistance.
• 9/80 work schedule (nine‑hour days Monday‑Thursday with alternate Fridays off).
• On‑going learning opportunities in a diverse, inclusive environment.
• On‑site cafeteria, fitness center, and outdoor fitness track.
