In this role, you will research and develop descriptive architecture models of complex kill chains, kill webs, and effects-based solutions that reflect military employment. The models you will design enable gap analysis and highlight new technology applications, in addition to capturing key study details and informing additional analysis efforts. The architectures center on systems-of-systems modeling, spanning from the tactical to strategic levels. You will be working at the forefront of the Mission Engineering community informing modeling styles and standards, innovating usage, and driving digital engineering for systems-of-systems mission applications . You will utilize MBSE software tools (e.g., Cameo) to develop descriptive models, conduct analysis and produce deliverables that inform solutions to key operational challenges faced by our nation’s warfighters, enabling mission success. This position requires collaborative teaming and offers an excellent opportunity for a modeler to work in an innovative environment at the leading edge of delivering emerging technologies and future concepts for complex warfighting scenarios.

As an Engineer (MBSE) you will work as an integral member of a government/contractor team in support of our customer's organization from conceptual design and analysis to integration and testing. The team constructs, manages, and conducts discrete mission engineering and analysis study tasks to evaluate the efficacy of legacy architectures and new technologies and capabilities applied in new mission concepts of employment to meet evolving Joint mission objectives. This position will be 100% on site in the Alexandria, Virginia area, with the possibility of local travel to customer sites and related engineering conferences/workshops
