The division applies these capabilities across sponsors to address broad national challenges, integrate lessons learned across domains, and continuously strengthen MITRE's impact and differentiated value in systems engineering.
Roles & Responsibilities:As an Intermediate Mission Engineer, you will leverage and grow your systems engineering expertise to support the design, implementation, and integration of enterprise systems and systems-of-systems and analysis of missions for federal agencies. Specific responsibilities may include:
- Using your understanding of systems and mission engineering and an awareness of sponsor needs to determine areas where MITRE can have an impact
- Applying modern methods and tools such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, Digital Engineering, Mission Engineering, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics to assess capability needs, requirements, architectures, designs, performance constraints and gaps, proposed changes, and verification and test approaches
- Evaluating and comparing alternative architectures using qualitative and quantitative techniques and exploring large tradespaces
- Articulating major uncertainties associated with systems architectures and defining risks and opportunities associated with those uncertainties
- Identifying or developing metrics to measure and analyze relevant system properties, such as robustness, resiliency, interoperability, quality, and maintainability
- Supporting requirements management and analysis, interface management, architecture development, architecture change management, and test and evaluation processes
- Performing system design and development, systems modernization, and architecture activities using MBSE and digital engineering approaches
- Translating analysis results into actionable recommendations for U.S. Government agencies
Basic Qualifications:- 2 years of experience in systems engineering and enterprise architecture
