Model‑Based Systems Engineer (Level 3)

Zachary Piper is seeking a Model-Based Systems Engineer (Level 3) to join an advanced aerospace engineering team in St. Louis, MO (Berkeley site) . This role is 100% ONSITE . The Systems Engineer will be responsible for developing system architectures, building SysML models, and managing requirements to support next-generation aircraft, weapons systems, and air dominance programs. This position requires strong Systems Engineering experience , hands-on MBSE/SysML modeling , proficiency with DOORS , and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver accurate, integrated, and testable system solutions.

Responsibilities of the Model-Based Systems Engineer (Level 3):

• Develop and maintain SysML models using MBSE tools such as Cameo or MSOSA
• Translate high-level system requirements into detailed, traceable subsystem requirements
• Use DOORS to manage, organize, and maintain requirement baselines and traceability
• Partner with architects, software engineers, hardware teams, and mission systems experts to design and integrate complex system solutions
• Support system architecture definition, interface management, and integration planning
• Participate in trade studies, risk assessments, and milestone technical reviews
• Contribute to verification and validation (V&V) planning for mission-critical and safety-critical systems
• Document system behaviors, relationships, and architecture elements within the MBSE environment
• Work closely with engineering leadership and Subject Matter Experts to ensure consistent application of Systems Engineering best practices

Qualifications for the Model-Based Systems Engineer (Level 3):

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field
