Systems Engineer – MBSE Specialist

This position is available in our Poway, CA office or Huntsville, AL office.

Under general directions with limited review, this position is responsible for applying innovative approaches to resolving unusual or complex engineering problems in the development of Army unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), with a focus on data modeling, software architecture, design, and requirements management for Ground Command and Control (C2) software. Assignments are normally outlined in terms of overall objectives and reviewed largely at completion. Initiates the planning of engineering projects and develops innovative designs or modifications in order to meet project goals. Independently performs difficult/complex engineering work with instructions as to the general expected results. Documents findings, communicates results to engineering staff, makes technical presentations, and may represent the organization as the prime technical contact on small contracts or single component projects. Provides direction to design or technical staff and may lead a team of moderately experienced professional staff.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Provide Systems Engineering support across various programs as needed, which may include Avionics, Aerospace, Airborne Payloads, Command and Control Systems, training systems, throughout the design, development, integration, and test phases of the product life-cycle.
• Use a SysML tool, like Cameo, to produce system models which include developing the standard 9 diagrams of activity, block definition, internal block, package, parametric, requirement, sequence, state machine and use cases.
• Collaborate with program and all levels of engineering to develop SysML diagrams and artifacts in an MBSE environment, capture and characterize requirements, conduct parametric analysis, and create test plans and procedures including environmental testing.
• Support the development of system requirements and specifications, interface control documents (ICD), requirements verification traceability matrix (RVTM), and other system engineering artifacts.
• Perform integration and test activities such as developing verification test plans, procedures, and test reports, as well as preparing and conducting the actual verification tests.
• Use the requirements management tool DOORS/JAMA to perform requirements development, analysis, and decomposition across system, segment, subsystem, and assembly levels.
• May support multiple integrated product teams (IPT) through system analysis, assembly, integration, and testing.
• Support the preparation and execution of program milestone reviews such as system requirements review (SRR), system functional review (SFR), preliminary & critical design review (PDR, CDR), test readiness review (TRR), and customer acceptance review (AR).
• Develop systems engineering documentation, artifacts, and contract deliverables with oversight from Project Engineer, Chief Engineer, and Program Manager
• Support requirement verification and documentation using MBSE models and/or DOORS/JAMA to link requirements and model elements to test plans, procedures, test results/reports, and other artifacts.
• Interface with customers during program shaping, ConOps development, and requirements derivation activities.
• Provide direction and/or feedback to design or technical staff.
• Devise new approaches to resolve unusual or complex engineering problems.
• Maintain the strict confidentiality of sensitive information.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
• Responsible for observing all laws, regulations and other applicable obligations wherever and whenever business is conducted on behalf of the Company. Expected to work in a safe manner in accordance with established operating procedures and practices.
