MITRE Technology and Engineering’s Systems Engineering Division delivers innovative, multidisciplinary systems engineering solutions that support MITRE and its diverse sponsor base. The division is a leader across government, industry, and academia in advancing next-generation systems engineering and applying best practices to complex national security and public sector challenges. Its technical expertise includes: Mission, Enterprise, and Domain Engineering Systems Engineering, Architecting, and Lifecycle Integration Digital Engineering, Prototyping, and Modernization Architecture, Interfaces, and Open Systems Performance Analysis, Test, and Evaluation AI-Enabled Systems Engineering 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. The Architecture Analysis Department research, develops, and applies advanced technologies in the following Systems Engineering areas: Model-Based System Architecting Architecture Analysis Digital Engineering Transformation Architecture Analysis enables digital transformation by linking stakeholder needs, operational concepts, and engineering data into an integrated digital thread. The department applies model-based system architecting to define and evolve system structures, interfaces, behaviors, and dependencies for complex systems. The department also delivers architecture analysis through trade studies and assessments of performance, risk, and system interactions to support sound design and investment decisions. Roles & Responsibilities The Intermediate Systems Engineer leverages and continuously develops systems engineering expertise to support the design, implementation, and integration of enterprise systems and systems-of-systems, as well as mission analysis for federal agencies. Responsibilities include: Use knowledge of systems and mission engineering, along with an understanding of sponsor needs, to identify areas where MITRE can provide meaningful impact. Apply modern engineering methods and tools, including Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), 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. Evaluate and compare alternative architectures using qualitative and quantitative techniques while exploring large trade spaces. Identify and develop metrics to measure and analyze key system attributes, including robustness, resiliency, interoperability, quality, and maintainability. Supporting requirements management, interface management, and architecture change management processes. Perform system design and development activities, including software development, systems modernization, and architecture development. Contribute to multiple tasks across several government-sponsored projects, collaborating effectively within small to large multidisciplinary teams.
