Your success is our success.\nJob Summary The Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) applies an interdisciplinary engineering approach to ‘whole system’ design by defining requirements, analysis, verification, and validation with modeling and simulation tools using industry best standards, in place of the documentation used for traditional Systems Engineering. Applies Systems Engineering principles as defined by the Warfighting Acquisition University (WARU) Systems Engineering Process Model to a system throughout its life cycle, from development through production, deployment, training support, operation, and disposal–as defined by customer requirements.\nApplies a logical sequence of activities and decisions that transforms an operational need into a description of system performance parameters and a preferred system configuration. The Model-Based Systems Engineer works together with project managers and the engineering team to ensure that design work aligns with customer requirements in a way that can be verified early in the design process. The MBSE also works through each phase of the given system and process, from plan along with expansion to validation and operation, on measurable risk assessment, regularly concentrating on performance, testing, scheduling, and budgets.\nThe MBSE uses a digital engineering approach to develop a system-of-systems model that serves as the authoritative source of truth during design, development, sustainment and retirement of a system. The Model-Based Systems Engineer is also central to the development of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) requirements and design.\nThis role satisfies Defense program contractual requirements which are referenced in the WARU Systems Engineering Guidebook\nJob Responsibilities Model‑Based Systems Engineering & Architecture Develop, integrate, and maintain SysMLv2 ‑ based system architectures using tools such as CAMEO to support requirements definition, behavioral modeling, interface design, and system verification.\nTrain coworkers on CAMEO best practices to promote standardization and efficiency.\nEstablish and manage a persistent digital thread that links requirements, architectures, design data, analyses, simulations, verification artifacts, and configuration baselines.\nCreate and evolve digital twin models to support performance prediction, design trades, reliability assessments, and simulation ‑ based decision making.\nApply Warfighting Acquisition University (WARU) Systems Engineering Fundamentals and Systems Engineering Guidebook throughout the system life cycle, ensuring disciplined and compliant engineering processes.\nRequirements Development & Management Translate customer needs, mission objectives, concept of operations (CONOPS), and stakeholder expectations into measurable system and performance requirements.\nUse MBSE tools to maintain requirements traceability from top ‑ level mission needs down to subsystem specifications and test objectives.\nEnsure FAA, MIL-HDBK 516, Foreign Military Airworthiness Authorities, and other certification requirements are integrated into models, requirement sets, and verification plans.\nDocument requirements in aircraft requirements documents, system requirements documents, and performance specifications.
