A Senior Model Based System Engineer (MBSE) Modeler with a strong background in the DoD space industry is being sought to support the development and sustainment of complex space and ground systems. The candidate will model and system engineer task order execution in support of the Command and Control Consolidated System within the C‑SAR program based in Colorado Springs, CO. Primary responsibilities include developing and maintaining system models that support system architecture, design analysis, and integration using MBSE tools. The role involves ensuring compliance with Task Orders, working closely with engineering, development, operations, and program management teams to ensure system models accurately reflect mission objectives, program requirements, and system interfaces—particularly within ground system environments. Responsibilities also include preparing for detailed design level reviews, supporting meetings and working groups, and contributing to the development of future Task Orders and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). Responsibilities Develop, maintain, and refine system models using MBSE tools to support architecture definition, requirements development, and design analysis. Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering teams to ensure model accuracy and alignment with the evolving design. Transform stakeholder needs, operational concepts, and system requirements into formal models and architectural artifacts. Ensure traceability and consistency across requirements, behaviors, structure, interfaces, and verification activities within the model environment. Support system integration planning, verification/validation strategy development, and technical reviews using model‑derived artifacts. Help maintain interface control documents and system design baselines. Participate in configuration management and governance of MBSE repositories and modeling environments. Contribute to risk identification, requirement gaps resolution, and architecture/implementation issue analysis through model insights. Support all required technical reviews, IPTs, TIMs, WGs.
