TL;DR · Senior System Engineer, ModSim, Joint Simulation Environment (JSE)

The Senior System Engineer, ModSim, Joint Simulation Environment joins the Systems Engineering team to support the development of autonomous airpower systems. This role involves red-teaming designs, building models and simulations to prove or break claims, and providing Model Based Systems Engineering and Requirements Based Testing artifacts for product delivery and sustainment. The engineer will perform requirements analysis, system design, and integration for complex DoD weapon and space systems. Key technical requirements include experience with MODSIM environments like AFSIM or JSE, SysML, DoDAF, and UAFP. Candidates must be proficient with Cameo MagicDraw, Rhapsody, or SparxEA, and possess physics-math scripting skills in MATLAB, Simulink, or Python. The work focuses on solving technical challenges in mission autonomy through rigorous engineering, visual data presentation, and adversarial review.

What you'll do

  • Red-team designs, models, and analyses across various programs.
  • Build models and simulations to prove or break specific technical claims.
  • Write and own systems-level requirements for complex defense systems.
  • Develop Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts including activity and use case diagrams.
  • Perform requirements analysis and system design within a government context.
  • Communicate complex results and data visualizations to engineers and leadership.
  • Support program management and mission software engineering through systems engineering expertise.

What we're looking for

  • Must possess and be able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
  • Bachelor of Science in aerospace, mechanical, computer science, or a similar engineering or technical field.
  • 8+ years of Systems Engineering experience across the life cycle.
  • Experience with MODSIM environments like AFSIM or JSE and understanding of their interfaces and behaviors.
  • Experience with requirements analysis, system design, and requirements management in a government context.
  • Experience with SysML, DoDAF, UAFP, or similar modeling languages and tools like Cameo MagicDraw.
  • Experience developing model-based systems engineering artifacts such as activity diagrams, use case diagrams, and parametric diagrams.
  • Proficiency with physics-math scripting in MATLAB, Simulink, or Python (preferred).
