Job Summary

The Systems Engineering Division (SED) provides unmatched experience in systems engineering to the U.S. government and to numerous public and private agencies, universities, nonprofit organizations, consortia, and commercial companies involved in the advanced application of space technology. From systems architecture development to system analysis and optimization, astrodynamics, orbital debris, navigation, failure analysis, mission assurance, cost and schedule assessment, and economic market analysis, SED exploits an incredibly broad array of engineering and business disciplines against a diverse and dynamic portfolio of programs and national challenges. Space system architects and engineers are increasingly relying on models to define and describe their systems rather than documents, and they desire to integrate Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) in their programs. To meet this increasing demand for MBSE support, the MBSE Office's goal is to integrate corporate system modeling capabilities to provide space systems engineering analysis, education, and modeling support to program decision makers and other stakeholders. Our team members create, use, and evaluate models that analyze and define space systems.

What You'll Be Doing

The Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Office's goal is to incorporate system modeling capabilities to provide space systems engineering analysis, modeling support, and education to government decision makers and other stakeholders. Our team members create, use, and evaluate models that analyze and define space systems. We use a variety of computer tools that not only estimate system properties and performance, but we also use SysML tools to define requirements, behaviors, interfaces, and architecture.

  • Develop, implement, and evaluate SysML models to support customers that develop, launch, and operate space systems. Space systems are defined at all domain levels; enterprise, architecture, vehicle, and even payload levels.
  • Advise government customers on the use and implementation of SysML models. The systems engineer in this position will be the MBSE Office onsite representative in Albuquerque, NM to support Space Rapid Capabilities Office (SpRCO), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and other local customers.
  • Develop analytical computer models and tools for the CDC and other corporate centers (see our CDC video at https://aerospace.org/video/concept-design-center ).
  • Train other members of Aerospace technical staff, program office staff, and government customers on MBSE tools and methods, digital engineering, and modeling practice
  • Advise our government customers on incorporating MBSE practices in their own satellite and ground system programs supporting all aspects such as mission assurance, requirements development/traceability, concept of operations development, and reviewing contractor-provided SysML models.
  • Create and maintain SysML models that Aerospace subject matter experts use to support program milestone reviews (e.g. SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.)
  • Share lessons learned and best practices across the MBSE community (conferences, papers, etc.)
  • Level 3 senior engineering specialists will lead teams to develop system models

What You Need to be Successful

Minimum Requirements:
  • BS in relevant engineering discipline (Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, etc.) or related technical discipline.
  • Proficient with MBSE tools and SysML modeling
    • Tools such as MagicDraw (Cameo, Collaborator), Sparx EA, OpenMBEE
    • SysML modeling of aerospace systems at various domain levels such as architectures, vehicles, and/or payloads
  • At least 8 years' experience in space systems engineering including modeling methods and analysis for level 2. At least 12 years' experience for level 3. Some experience may be waived with MS or higher degree in relevant discipline.
  • Knowledge of core space system design disciplines, such as space system architectures, satellite bus design, and payloads.
  • Ability to clearly explain complex concepts to customers and fellow employees.
  • A self-starter who can lead a modeling team and spearhead new efforts
  • Must be able to obtain TS/SCI clearance

How You Can Stand Out

It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:
  • Current TS/SCI clearance
  • MS or higher degree in relevant discipline
  • Experience in all levels of space systems engineering including vehicle level and architecture level
  • Experience with space system architecture frameworks and profiles like UAF, DoDAF & UPDM
  • Familiarity with Syndeia, Tableau, web services interface, cloud computing, containerization, and microservices
  • Technical team leadership
  • Experience with concurrent engineering methods and tools
  • Computer programming, modeling and simulation skills, especially for purposes of estimating space vehicle performance, size, mass, power and cost.
  • Teaching experience, especially in technical subjects
  • Relevant OMG or INCOSE certifications
