As a Sr. Model Based Systems Architect, you will develop the internal digital engineering ecosystem at Reliable. In this role you will not just use a tool; you will design the formal information schema that relates our systems, software, and certification data. You will be the bridge between our core engineering teams and our internal tool developers, ensuring that our single source of truth is technical robust, scalable, uniform, and intuitive.
Responsibilities - Architect and maintain the formal information schema that defines how systems and software lifecycle data (requirements, design, ICDs, and V&V) relate to one another.
- Establish and enforce modeling methodologies to ensure that data structures, relationships, and design practices remain consistent and coherent across various engineering teams.
- Partner with software and systems teams to develop and implement data models and templates that capture complex aircraft architectures.
- Conduct deep-dive use case analyses with end-users to prioritize features and drive requirements for our internal MBSE and requirements management application.
- Provide the strategic interface between the engineering user base and the internal software developers building our proprietary modeling tools.
Basic Success Criteria - B.S. in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent experience.
- Proven experience designing information schemas or ontologies (e.g., Graph schemas, SysML profiles or specialized SQL/NoSQL structures).
- Experience with the systems engineering "V-model", including safety-critical standards (DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A) and how they map to digital data models.
- General familiarity working within software development environments and reading or writing code in JavaScript, Python, and/or C/C++.
- 5+ years of experience developing safety critical flight systems, software, and/or complex electronic hardware.
Preferred Success Criteria - M.S. in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- Background in developing or heavily customizing requirements management or ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) tools (e.g., IBM DOORS, Cameo/MagicDraw, Jama, Polarion).
- Private or commercial pilot license.
Digital engineering at Reliable is a key enabler for efficient and effective development of Reliable's cutting edge autonomy systems. They provide a single source of truth and traceability that integrates and coordinates engineering functions across the company. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute foundationally to Reliable's development process, tools, and product lines.
This role can be remote, or located at our facility in Mountain View, California.

This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant's capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.
All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person). Where the applicant is not a U.S. person, meaning not a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident, (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. a7 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. a7 1158, or not otherwise permitted to access the export-controlled technology without U.S. government authorization, the Company reserves the right not to apply for an export license for such applicants whose access to export-controlled technology or software source code requires authorization and may decline to proceed with the application process and any offer of employment on that basis.
