Full Job Description
Position Overview:

The Mid-Level Systems Engineer will support the definition, analysis, and maturation of complex aerospace and defense systems using model-based systems engineering (MBSE). This role will translate stakeholder needs into clear system requirements, architectures, interfaces, and verification evidence, with hands-on development and maintenance of SysML models in Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw. The ideal candidate is a collaborative engineer who can work independently across the system lifecycle and communicate effectively with software, hardware, integration, test, safety, cybersecurity, and program teams.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain SysML system models in Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw, including requirements, use cases, block definition, internal block, activity, sequence, and state-machine views as appropriate.
  • Elicit, analyze, decompose, and allocate stakeholder and system requirements while maintaining bidirectional traceability to architecture, interfaces, verification methods, and supporting evidence.
  • Support development of system concepts, functional and physical architectures, interface definitions, operational scenarios, and trade studies for UAS and related mission systems.
  • Collaborate with software, electrical, mechanical, integration, test, safety, and cybersecurity teams to resolve cross-disciplinary design and interface issues.
  • Apply model governance, configuration management, baseline, and change-control practices to maintain model quality and consistency across program increments.
  • Support technical reviews and decision events, including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and customer reviews, by preparing model views, analyses, and objective evidence.
  • Develop verification approaches, acceptance criteria, and traceability; support integration and test activities and document results against system requirements.
  • Prepare clear engineering analyses, specifications, interface documentation, briefings, and contract deliverables, and communicate technical issues and recommendations to stakeholders.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 4+ years of systems engineering, architecture, requirements, integration, verification, or related engineering experience.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience developing or maintaining system models in Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw or a closely related MBSE tool.
  • Working knowledge of SysML and the practical use of model elements, relationships, viewpoints, and traceability to communicate system intent.
  • Experience with requirements development, decomposition, allocation, interface definition, and verification planning across the engineering lifecycle.
  • Ability to analyze complex technical problems, document assumptions and decisions, and work effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong technical writing, presentation, collaboration, and stakeholder communication skills.
  • Must have or be able to obtain a U.S. SECRET security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with UAS, aerospace, defense, avionics, mission systems, autonomy, or other safety-critical systems.
  • Experience with Cameo Teamwork Cloud/CATIA No Magic collaboration, model libraries, validation rules, report generation, or model governance.
  • Familiarity with requirements and lifecycle tools such as IBM DOORS, Jama Connect, Jira, Confluence, or GitLab.
  • Knowledge of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 or 29148, DoDAF/UAF, MIL-STD-882, digital engineering practices, or government acquisition environments.
  • INCOSE ASEP/CSEP, OMG OCSMP certification, or comparable systems engineering or MBSE training.
