Location Smyrna, GA (Metro Atlanta) Project/Unit Description The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has opportunities for Model‑Based Systems Engineers (MBSE) within the Sensor and Electromagnetic Application Laboratory (SEAL) in Smyrna, Georgia. The mission of SEAL's Model‑Based Systems Engineering team is to provide unparalleled, comprehensive Systems Engineering expertise on the technical processes and technical management processes of the Systems Engineering Lifecycle. This includes (but is not limited to): high‑level stakeholder need capture, architectural design, requirements analysis/definition/management, interface analysis/definition/management, design synthesis, systems integration, verification, trade‑off analysis, configuration management, technical assessment, and decision analysis. Engineering domains include sensors, signal processing, electronic warning, radar, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems deployed on land, air, and sea. The candidate will be involved in a team environment consisting of GTRI, Government, and Industry partners. Job Purpose The Model‑Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) develops and executes novel system model‑based approaches to define, design, analyze, and document system development. The MBSE Researcher applies MBSE tool suites to enable the use of model‑based best practices in DoD acquisition and system life cycle support. This position supports stakeholders and sponsors in the application of MBSE to trade space analysis, design, acquisition, and sustainment. The MBSE executes System Engineering and MBSE processes including system definition, functional decomposition, requirements development, architectural development and analysis, design synthesis, system analysis, data modeling and architecture development, test program development, and sustainment activities. The MBSE researcher also presents technical and program management presentations to government sponsors. Key Responsibilities Lead task teams in the authoring of UAF models capturing stakeholder needs and resulting enterprise architectures, SysML models capturing system requirements and design, and data models capturing system data requirements and design. Direct sponsor engagement and facilitate product or system requirements gathering and analysis. Verify systems engineering product life‑cycle including definition, requirements analysis, synthesis, systems analysis and implementation. Conduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical architectures for systems of moderate complexity. Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes in a SysML model. Implement approaches that foster reusability of existing model expressions. Additional Responsibilities Define/refine internal and external interfaces. Analyze product or system functionality as defined by requirements. Develop skills and training as part of the greater GTRI workforce using professional development funding. Required Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree from an accredited university in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline. Familiarity with the various phases of the Systems Engineering lifecycle. Familiarity with Model‑Based Systems Engineering with the OMG Systems Modeling Language (SysML). Familiarity with the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF). Experience with Enterprise Architecture Tools (commercial or open‑source). Preferred Qualifications Active TS/SCI Clearance. Experience with the DoD Acquisition Process. Experience with DoD Intelligence communities. Experience and training directly related to implementing Model‑Based Systems Engineering solutions on complex, Department of Defense (DoD) programs. Experience with requirements development and management. Experience with interface definition and management. Experience with Cameo Systems Modeler.Experience with the development of an integrated system model (UML, SysML and UPDM2/UAF). Familiarity with SysML 2.0. Experience leading, supervising, or managing a team. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Must be able to convey highly technical material in a clear, concise manner to a nontechnical audience. Master's degree from an accredited university in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
