Systems Engineer III - Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

Are you a visionary thinker? At Sierra Nevada Corporation, we are committed to advancing aerospace and defense technologies, ensuring the safety of service members, and developing systems that keep our world united and sustain our way of living. Join our team as a Systems Engineer, where you will leverage your expertise to conduct in-depth research, architect intricate system designs, create detailed models, simulate performance, rigorously test, certify, and optimize cutting-edge defense products and services. You will develop sophisticated system architectures within advanced modeling platforms, managing them from operational concept through preliminary and detailed design, high-fidelity simulation, and comprehensive testing using state-of-the-art tools. As a Systems Engineer, you will be integral to the development and refinement of innovative products and processes throughout the entire product lifecycle, ensuring technical excellence and mission critical success.

The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation, it is a leading prime manned and unmanned aircraft systems integrator for innovative, high-performance ISR and aviation systems. Its end-to-end Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities encompass design, integration, test, certification, ground/flight training and complete logistics support. IAS tailors solutions to customer cost, performance, and schedule requirements and designs to consistently exceed expectations – with an unrivaled record of on time and on (or under) budget deliveries.

Responsibilities:

• Define and manage system architectures, interfaces and requirements using MBSE tools

• Implement MBSE methodologies for the program

• Develop and maintain the system models using SysML to ensure design consistency, traceability, and integration across multiple programs

• Define and document system architecture requirements and ensure traceability to system models

• Collaborate with systems engineers, software developers, cybersecurity engineers and system safety engineers to ensure that architecture design is reusable, scalable, and certifiable

• Assist with development of internal reference architecture.

• Work closely with other programs to develop services and components, to include building system models that will represent system performance attributes so that key performance requirements can be tracked and analyzed through the program Life-cycle.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Bachelor's of Science degree in System Engineering or related discipline and typically 6 or more years of relevant experience

• Higher education may substitute for relevant experience

• Practical knowledge of engineering principles and practices

• Experience working in multi-disciplinary design and development teams

• Knowledge of requirements management, functional requirements parsing, derivation, and allocation; systems design, systems integration, technical risk identification and management strategies, and Verification and Validation (V&V) principles

• The ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret U.S. Security Clearance is required

​

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Experience with requirements management and system modelling tools, such as ENOVIA Requirements Management, DOORs, Cameo, Dymola, and MATLAB.

• Practical knowledge of industry standard Systens Engineering design principles, to include, but not limited to requirements management, Traditional Systems Engineering, and Model Based System Engineering (MBSE)

• Experience and certification in INCOSE standards (ASEP/CSEP)

• Background in the Aerospace and Defense Industry

• Ability to administer baseline definition and maturation in a complex development setting, including the use of high impact trade studies and other measures

• Exposure to establishing and tracking key Technical Performance Measurements (TPM)

This posting will be open for application for a minimum of 5 days and may be extended based on business needs.
