Requirements

• US Citizen with experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and digital engineering methodologies
• Hands-on experience with SysML and MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo/NoMagic, or similar)
• Strong background in systems engineering, including requirements development, system architecture, integration, and verification & validation (V&V)
• Ability to translate mission needs into structured models, architectures, and technical solutions
• Experience collaborating with government customers and technical stakeholders
• Ability to work across multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Active TS/SCI clearance or ability to obtain one

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing or managing digital engineering ecosystems and toolchains
• Familiarity with DoD digital engineering strategies and open systems approaches
• Experience integrating MBSE with modeling and simulation tools (e.g., AFSIM, MATLAB)
• Background in Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO), Electronic Warfare (EW), or RF systems
• Experience with Agile development tools (JIRA, Confluence, Git, Teamwork Cloud)
• Exposure to data analytics, AI/ML, or model-driven analysis environments
• Experience supporting trade studies, Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), and design of experiments

Work Environment

• On-site support near Wright Patterson AFB
• Direct collaboration with government stakeholders and engineering teams
• Opportunity to work in a small, high-impact technical team with strong growth potential
