General Dynamics Land Systems builds the combat vehicles and integrated technologies that gives soldiers a decisive advantage. We design, engineer and sustain advanced tracked and wheeled systems paired with modern electronic architecture, AI-enabled capabilities and autonomy-ready technology. From Abrams to LAV, Striker to AJAX, robotic platforms to software solutions and beyond, our portfolio delivers proven performance and future-ready modernization for customers around the world.

Join the people who design, build and advance the systems that protect those who protect us. Our teams see beyond the horizon, solving problems before they become challenges.

Let’s shape the future of General Dynamics Land Systems together.

This role will be responsible for the leadership and oversight of a program’s Model Based System Engineer (MBSE) development activities and management.

• Provide technical direction to MBSE Systems and Software Engineers for the execution of engineering projects within a SysML model using Cameo Enterprise Architecture tool.
• Coordinate with program office personnel in the development of proposals, scopes of work, program plans, statements of work, work breakdown structures with respect to the role of MBSE on the program to help define the program.
• Define “how” engineering will execute all aspects of the System Engineering using MBSE to include development and review of requirements, requirements flow down, system architecture, opportunity and risk management, trade studies, technical performance measures, testing, interface control, cost control, weight management, technical program review preparation, system integration, verification and validation.
• Prepare appropriate plans to capture these activities, which includes ownership and responsibility of MBSE staged elements.
• Support the SEM, SEIT Lead, and Chief Engineer in their role to define and review the Technical Product solution that resides in the MBSE.
• Support and facilitate building a GDLs MBSE capability to be used across programs. Structuring and staging the MBSE model to allow reuse of model elements on future programs, IRADs, or DE initiatives.
• Define, develop and manage the MBSE elements of a program into a defined SysML configuration.
• Areas include staging Requirements, Behavior, Structure, Interfaces and Parametric elements in an MBSE tool for a program.
• Guide the program team using the MBSE model in the development of requirement decomposition for Functional and Non-functional requirements from the System Specification to the allocated baseline of HWCI and SWCSCI requirements.
• Guide the program in the use of MBSE structures for functional decomposition from System Functions to component functions. Establish the structure and staging in the model for building and linking SysML artifacts in the generation of Activity Diagrams, State Machines, Sequence Diagrams, Block Definition Diagrams (BDDs), Internal Block Diagrams (IBDs) and their associated derived requirements.
• Guide the program team in the development of MBSE interfaces and the generation of proper Data Architecture Model Libraries (DAML) and Domain Specific Data Models (DSDM) according to the Ground Combat System (GCS) Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) models and documentation.
• Build and maintain MBSE-based metrics for the program’s TPMs, Trades, Risks, and Design Decision Memorandums (DDMs).
• Provide program metrics on the maturation of the program MBSE environment in compliance to the contract, program’s requirements and GCIA implementation.
• Define and stage the MBSE for consumption of program CDRLs in the SysML model as required by the contract with the goal of digitizing the engineering environment.
• Support the Digital Engineering (DE) initiative of digitally connecting tools such as Teamcenter, Cameo, MADe, Capital Harness, SLICWave, etc. for the purpose…
