We Deliver - Together.\nThe Opportunity:\nKBR is executing a Digital Engineering strategy to manage complexity and leverage KBR technical capability as a strategic partner to Defence and deliver speed to capability for our customers. The strategy includes enablement of the digital engineering capability to deliver environments and facilities to support the needs of the business. It also includes the capability to execute Defence programs to develop, host and integrate systems as models leading to a digital twin.\nKBR are seeking an experienced System Modeller to drive execution of modelling and simulation activity to help uplift the engineering capability of the enterprise. You will be, or develop into, a Subject Matter Expert in System Modelling that can be called upon by others in the enterprise. This will necessitate the development and delivery of architectural frameworks, modelling guides, training material, tools guides and tool configurations. You will seek out and institutionalise best practices in system modelling. You will recognise that system modelling is a part of system engineering and ensure integration with all stages of the system engineering life cycle and corresponding tools.\nThe current system modelling tool of choice by KBR and envisaged to be by Australia Defence is Cameo Systems Architect. As such expertise will be required or required to be developed with Cameo. That said there are a wide variety of system modelling tools all with different strengths and weaknesses. The role will need to be cognisant of emerging trends in system modelling methodologies, tools, and modelling languages. Such trends include but are not limited to the introduction of artificial intelligence capabilities and SysML2.\nIt must be remembered that system modelling tools, apart from communicating a design, are fundamentally about improving productivity and reducing defects. The simulation capabilities of system modelling are especially critical.\nSystem modelling is also a team sport involving inputs of many specialists and any enterprise uplift must take into account the conduct of system modelling by teams and teams of teams. A thorough understanding and application of configuration and change management with system modelling is critical.\nAs this role is to improve enterprise maturity, good communications and engagement skills will be required to assist in the adoption of new technologies and methods. The role may also be needed to support bid responses pertaining to enterprise uplift in system modelling (and digital engineering). The development of roadmaps can support this and similar related needs.\nResponsibilities\nThe key responsibilities of the role will include, but are not limited to:\nProviding guidance and support to other personnel in the enterprise in system modelling including architectural frameworks, languages, methods, and tools.\nDeveloping artefacts that support the enterprise in improving maturity of system modelling including modelling guides, work instructions, and training material.\nDelivering demonstrations and training on system modelling to foster adoption and build skills within the enterprise.\nRemaining across the development of new technologies and methods applicable to system modelling.\nSupporting the integration of system modelling as part of the system engineering life cycle.\nSupporting the integration of system modelling tools with other system engineering tools and automating functionality that improves quality and productivity.\nEngaging with stakeholders in respect to system modelling needs and formulating enterprise plans and capability roadmaps.\nAs required, supporting bod responses with material relating to system modelling (and digital engineering) capabilities and direction.\nAs required, presenting to external parties on our system modelling expertise for the purposes of education and supporting business winning.\nFacilitating the integration of different disciplines into functional and physical modelling such as safety, security and integrated logistics support. \nSupporting the development of the Australian Digital Engineering Environment.\nQualifications, Skills and Experience\nEssential:\nA Bachelor of Engineering or equivalent qualification that meets the criteria of the Washington Accord.\nProfessional Engineer with 5y+ of experience in systems engineering preferably across the complete life cycle and below-the-line.\nDemonstrated proficiency with the SysML language and the use of corresponding modelling tools, Cameo/No Magic preferred.\nFamiliarity and ideally good proficiency with architectural frameworks such as UAF, NAF, and DODAF.\nDemonstrable experience of creation and refinement of a range of digital models and simulation.\nThorough understanding and application of configuration management in the context of system modelling and managing engineering change.\nExcellent communication skills in presentation and demonstration to non-technical stakeholders.\nGood organisational skills and the ability to work relatively independently whilst still engaging and communicating with key stakeholders.\nExpertise in software engineering (programming) and scripting languages such as Python and JavaScript to facilitate tools integration and support automation needs such as automatic document generation.\nEligibility for Australian Government Security Clearance (NV1 or higher).\nDesirable:\nExperience architecting a diversity of systems.\nExperience of maturing new enterprise capabilities through People, Process, Tools and Data/Support.\nProfessional recognition as a CPEng or registered Professional Engineer.\nAll candidates will be required to hold and maintain an active NV1 Defence Security Clearance.
