The engineer will build performance models to evaluate system behavior, perform Monte Carlo analysis to assess risk and uncertainty, and translate complex analytical results into actionable recommendations. Key responsibilities include requirements decomposition, interface definition, and managing technical documentation across the full lifecycle. The role requires proficiency in systems engineering methods, requirements management, and integration practices. Candidates should possess skills in MATLAB, Python, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The work involves solving complex problems regarding system behavior and hardware/software integration within a secure environment to support critical defense mission-system capabilities.

What you'll do

  • Develop digital engineering artifacts to support system understanding and decision making.
  • Build performance models to evaluate system behavior and sensitivities.
  • Perform Monte Carlo analysis to assess uncertainty, margin, and risk.
  • Conduct and document trade studies using analytical results to inform design decisions.
  • Translate complex model results into actionable system-level recommendations for the team.
  • Manage requirements traceability, risk registers, and verification evidence throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Execute system integration, validation, and technical baselines from concept through disposal.
  • Lead design reviews and present technical status and recommendations in formal meetings.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and 9 years of experience, a Graduate Degree and 7 years of experience, or 13 years of experience without a degree.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.
  • 9+ years of experience in systems engineering methods across full lifecycle activities.
  • 9+ years of experience with requirements management, risk management, and system integration and verification practices.
  • Bachelor of Science in a STEM discipline (Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or Computer Science) is preferred.
  • Familiarity with Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is preferred.
  • Experience with multi-domain mission systems, secure architectures, and government defense technical reviews is preferred.
  • U.S. citizens.
