Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Systems Engineer

Electric Boat’s (EB’s) systems engineering organizations are tasked with using established and newly developed systems engineering practices to drive technical integration throughout our submarine design programs. The importance of this challenge is amplified as our nation’s submarines become increasingly more capable and complex. It is imperative that we establish modern systems engineering tool-sets and processes that will enable EB to deliver the product that the Navy requires. A key element of establishing these tools and processes will be the implementation of model based systems engineering (MBSE).

Our organizations are seeking systems engineers to support the implementation of MBSE across the enterprise primarily to support our future programs. The duties of the selected candidate will include:

1) Assessing current internal and external MBSE processes to identify best practices and lessons learned to extrapolate onto a larger scale

a) Lead and/or support a variety of MBSE piloting efforts at EB, including those that might involve external stakeholders

b) Assess the associated costs and benefits of potential MBSE program and digital toolset solutions

c) Lead and/or support the scoping and execution of a working group or groups to coordinate EB’s MBSE efforts and ensure the steady growth and implantation of lessons learned from MBSE pilots

2) Perform modeling in Cameo Systems Modeler; create functional and logical models of submarine systems

3) Develop and execute iterative plan(s) to achieve a realistic MBSE end-state for implementation at EB, including processes, procedures, and digital tool-sets. Examples of specific tasking include:

a) Benchmarking EB’s capabilities against industry via attending MBSE conferences

b) Identifying specific action plans to achieve EB’s vision for MBSE organizationally, technically, and pro-grammatically

c) Work with EB subject matter experts to identify how to transform existing shipbuilding processes and data to support MBSE implementation

4) Work closely with Navy and industry partner representatives to ensure EB’s implementation of MBSE is aligned with our customers and partners

a)Additionally, there will be frequent interaction with EB and Navy leadership, as well as with industry partners, customers, and suppliers
