About the Role. At G2 Ops, we support mission-critical defense and technology initiatives by solving complex operational and engineering challenges. We are seeking a motivated, collaborative Software Engineer to support Java-based modeling tool capabilities for SysML and MBSE workflows across the Catapult Challenge, AEGIS, and LMCO C5I efforts.

In this role, you'll extend Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw plugin functionality, build and maintain model and diagram generation logic, integrate with AI-assisted structured-output workflows, and improve the reliability of schema-driven model creation across multiple repositories.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain Java-based plugin functionality for Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw.
• Implement and enhance SysML model generation capabilities, including Block Definition Diagrams, Internal Block Diagrams, and Activity Diagrams.
• Build and maintain parsers and data models for structured JSON inputs used to drive model generation.
• Use and extend internal utility libraries that wrap modeling APIs and support semantic and presentation element creation.
• Diagnose and resolve issues related to model creation, diagram rendering, session/transaction handling, and UI workflow behavior.
• Collaborate with cloud and AI engineering teams to align plugin behavior with API contracts, prompts, schemas, and LLM output expectations.
• Improve robustness of AI-assisted generation workflows, including handling partial or imperfect structured outputs safely.
• Contribute to code quality improvements, validation logic, testing strategy, and maintainability across a multi-repository codebase.
• Support branch integration, debugging, and iterative feature delivery in an active development environment.

What You'll Bring

Required Qualifications

• Strong professional experience with Java.
• Experience designing and maintaining object-oriented systems in a production codebase.
• Experience working with JSON, parsing/serialization, and schema-driven data models.
• Ability to debug complex workflows across UI, parsing, API integration, and backend generation logic.
• Experience integrating software with REST or HTTP-based APIs.
• Ability to work effectively in evolving codebases with mixed legacy and newer patterns.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across software, systems engineering, and platform teams.
• Ability to obtain and maintain required DoD Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building plugins or extensions for Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, or similar modeling tools.
• Familiarity with SysML, MBSE, and model-based engineering concepts.
• Experience with semantic model generation and diagram/presentation element creation.
• Experience working with modeling tool APIs, sessions/transactions, and diagram automation.
• Familiarity with Eclipse-based plugin environments.
• Experience with JavaFX, Swing, or desktop plugin UI development.
• Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into engineering workflows.
• Familiarity with prompt/schema design for structured LLM output.
• Experience with internal tooling or utility libraries similar to model/query/generation helper frameworks.
• Experience supporting DoD or government programs.

Additional Considerations

• This is a full-time position supporting mission-focused customer environments.
• Outside employment or activities must not create conflicts of interest with company or customer responsibilities.
