We are seeking a highly motivated Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) to support a variety of Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Navy (DoN) Communications and GPS Navigation programs. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in MBSE methodologies, tools (such as Cameo/MagicDraw), and DoD acquisition processes to develop and maintain digital system models throughout the system lifecycle. This role requires the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams, customers, and stakeholders to ensure system design integrity and compliance with government standards.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain system architecture models using SysML and MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, Enterprise Architect)
Facilitate the development of Black Box and White Box models in accordance with DoD and NAVWAR standards
Work closely with program engineering teams to develop questionnaires to identify what data is available for each program that can feed into a model, then help match programs with the appropriate MBSE automation tool(s) and enter data into the appropriate MBSE tool.
Integrate MBSE approaches with traditional systems engineering practices and digital engineering frameworks
Translate stakeholder requirements into system models and technical specifications
Participate in or lead technical reviews, model-based design efforts, and system verification/validation planning
Collaborate with software, hardware, and integration teams to align models with implementation and testing
Support DoD acquisition documentation and milestone reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR)
Ensure models comply with DoD standards (e.g., DoDAF, UAF, MIL-STD-881, NIST 800-160 Vol 1/2)
Prepare technical documentation and present modeling results to stakeholders, including government clients
Maintain configuration control of models and support versioning and reuse strategies
Requirements
Required Qualifications:
5+ years of experience in systems engineering with at least 2 years in MBSE roles
Proficiency in MBSE tools such as Cameo/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, or Enterprise Architect
Experience with Black Box and White Box modeling and development.
Experience with SysML and formal modeling techniques including Black and White Box Models.
Familiarity with DoD systems lifecycle (DoDI 5000.02, JCIDS, etc.) and C4I engineering processes.
Experience supporting DoD programs (Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, or OSD)
Active Secret clearance required.
Bachelor’s in systems engineering, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
