• Develop, maintain, and analyze SysML-based system models using Cameo Systems Modeler or equivalent tools
• Ensure requirements traceability from customer needs through system design and verification artifacts
• Utilize digital engineering tool chains to enhance design, integration, and test workflows
• Conduct computer-based simulations to analyze and optimize system performance
• Support interface definition and management across system elements and external dependencies
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including Government, Military, SETA, and contractor teams
• Contribute to technical reviews, impact assessments, and engineering documentation
• Support project planning, execution, and risk management activities across program lifecycles
Required Qualifications
• Practical experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles
• Hands-on experience with Cameo Systems Modeler or equivalent MBSE tools
• Familiarity with Digital Engineering practices and integrated tool chains
• Experience using high-level programming languages (e.g., Python)
• Demonstrated engineering technical depth and project management experience
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively in multi-disciplinary, customer-facing environments
• Active and transferable TS/SCI with CI Polygraph (required prior to start date)
