• Improve model consistency, traceability, interoperability, information reuse, and collaboration across engineering teams.
• Support model governance, configuration management, cybersecurity, systems engineering, and acquisition-related documentation and analysis.
• Develop and maintain MBSE standards, implementation guidance, modeling conventions, technical documentation, and configuration-managed engineering products.
• Support Navy programs transitioning from traditional systems engineering to Digital Engineering and model-based approaches.
• Translate technical requirements, existing engineering documentation, and stakeholder needs into structured models, data requirements, workflows, and technical products.

What You’ll Bring

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Demonstrated professional experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies.
• Experience developing or maintaining system models using Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw or comparable SysML-based tools.
• Working knowledge of systems engineering principles, lifecycle processes, and model-based engineering methodologies.
• Ability to translate engineering requirements and stakeholder needs into structured models, architectures, workflows, and technical documentation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and Government teams.
• Ability to obtain and maintain Secret clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting NAVWAR, PEOs, Naval acquisition, or other DoD programs.
• Experience with SysML, UML, executable architectures, or model governance.
• Experience developing MBSE standards, guides, training, or model catalogs.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity, configuration management, Digital Thread, or PLM concepts.
• Experience working in cross-functional or customer-facing environments.

Additional Considerations

• This is a full-time position supporting mission-focused customer environments
• Outside employment or activities must not create conflicts of interest with company or customer responsibilities
