Full Job Description
Description

Are you passionate about applying your system engineering/digital engineering skills to develop solutions for some of our nation's most pressing challenges?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

We are seeking a creative, collaborative systems engineer to help us lead the development and integration of sophisticated sensor systems using digital engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). As a member of the Sensor Systems Engineering Group, you will apply methods, processes, and guidelines to DE/MBSE tools and improve interoperability between analysis tools and models. You will assist in establishing and communicating standards for use of MBSE, technical contributions and collaboration, provide technical direction and ensure timeliness, quality and technical integrity of work. Come be a part of a talented team of engineers and scientists striving to build the next generation sensor systems.

As a Systems Engineer, your duties will include;
  • Cultivating your systems and digital engineering capabilities through training and collaboration with other SEs, DEs, and MBSE modelers.
  • Identifying and deploying methods, processes, and guidelines to develop artifacts as part of the capability development process.
  • Participating on teams working to advance the capabilities of crucial sensor and surveillance systems; You will leverage DE capabilities to analyze and assess existing and proposed systems (system-of-systems) and platforms.
  • Delivering presentations to sponsors and working groups to effectively communicate proposed concepts, solutions, and analysis findings.
  • Collaborating with engineers and scientists in a multidisciplinary team environment to develop digital engineering products.
