The Navy’s Operational Energy Office develops policy and informs departmental investment in innovation, research and development, and integration of power and energy technologies and systems to: Extend operational reach of current and future weapons systems through more effective use of energy Reduce energy consumption and external energy logistics requirements to forward-deployed strike groups Increase energy resilience of forward bases, supply depots, and cooperative security locations to deliver more energy to the warfighter Increase the effective use, conversion, storage, distribution, and control of energy to enable integration of future weapons and sensors into platforms Foster and guide an energy culture in sailors and marines through policy, training, and education The Solutions Architect supports the Navy’s Technical Authority and Navy Operational Energy Office in the development and application of digital engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) models used to analyze shipboard power and energy architectures. This position will support development and sustainment of the Navy Dynamic Systems Model (DSM), an MBSE environment used to represent shipboard power, propulsion, combat, and mission systems interactions. The model is used to evaluate energy use scenarios, support requirements development, and inform investment decisions related to operational energy technologies and future platform capabilities. The role will also contribute to Herren Associates’ broader Digital Engineering capability, DIMENSiON, which provides the digital architecture, modeling infrastructure, and integration environment that enables DSM development and supports application of model-based analysis across related Navy initiatives. The Power & Energy Systems Engineer / Solutions Architect will define and model shipboard power and energy system architectures using MBSE methods and SysML-based tools to provide bi-directional requirements tracing, define and articulate system states, and execute operational and energy-use scenarios. Analyses will support the identification of system efficiencies, integration pathways for emerging technologies, and informed investment decisions for power and energy technologies across naval platforms. The Solutions Architect will work as part of a multidisciplinary team collecting data, developing models, and performing analysis to support the needs of the Operational Energy Office, Technical Warrant Holders, program offices, and other members of the naval technical and acquisition communities. Responsibilities may include development of system architecture models, representation of system states and energy flows, integration of shipboard subsystems within MBSE environments, and preparation of technical analyses, reports, and briefings to support stakeholder decision-making. Minimum Required Qualifications : BS Marine, Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or IT 5+ years’ experience in systems engineering 3–5 years of technical experience supporting engineering systems analysis, naval engineering programs, shipboard systems, or digital engineering initiatives Experience performing parametric modeling and simulation within SysML-based tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw or similar) Experience developing or contributing to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) models using SysML, including development of parametric diagrams , constraint blocks, and model-based analytical constructs Functional proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Project Ability to develop technical reports, analysis documentation, and briefing materials for technical and program management audiences Active SECRET clearance required; interim SECRET acceptable to begin work Preferred Qualifications : MS Marine, Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or IT 5+ years of experience supporting ship or submarine maintenance, design, construction, or naval engineering analysis Experience with leading the development of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) solution architectures, workflows, and solutions for Federal use cases Experience with advanced M&S, specifically developing SysML architecture models for complex systems, including integration of multiple subsystems Direct experience with Navy surface ship engineering systems, particularly power generation and electrical distribution systems Experience integrating SysML models with analytical tools or external data sources (e.g., MATLAB, Python, or similar) to support advanced simulation and analysis Familiarity with digital engineering environments, model repositories, and collaborative modeling frameworks TS/SCI clearance Herren Associates is an Equal Opportunity Employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr Herren Associates, Inc.
