SPA has a near-term need for a MBSE & SysML Analyst.

Responsibilities

The MBSE andSysMLAnalyst will support NASIC's transition toward model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and dynamic, model-centric intelligence capabilities. This position will develop, analyze, and maintainSysML-based system models and architectures, evaluate system performance and technical feasibility, and provide systems engineering recommendations that support modernization of intelligence products and workflows. The analyst will collaborate with systems engineers, modelers, mission analysts, architects, and other stakeholders to translate mission and technical requirements into traceable model-based representations and ensure models effectively support engineering analysis, integration, and decision-making.
