Position Overview

We are seeking a Systems Engineer with a focus on Digital Engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to support the U.S. Army TACOM / Program Manager (PM) Howitzer Systems.

This role will contribute to the development, integration, and sustainment of next-generation artillery systems by applying modern digital engineering practices and MBSE methodologies across the system lifecycle.

The ideal candidate is a journeyman-level engineer with a solid foundation in systems engineering principles, SysML/UML modeling, and MBSE toolsets (e.g., MagicDraw/Cameo). Deep subject matter expertise in howitzer platforms is not required, but familiarity with ground combat vehicles, automotive systems, or defense platforms is considered a plus.

Key Responsibilities

• Support system engineering activities across the lifecycle (requirements, design, integration, verification, and sustainment)
• Develop and maintain MBSE models using SysML/UML to represent system architecture, interfaces, and behaviors
• Utilize MagicDraw / Cameo (or similar tools) to build and manage digital system models
• Translate stakeholder and operational needs into structured system requirements and model artifacts
• Support architecture development, including functional decomposition, interface definition, and traceability
• Participate in technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.) and provide model-based artifacts to support decision-making
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software, hardware, logistics, and test engineering
• Assist in the transition from document-based systems engineering to digital engineering environments
• Ensure models are aligned with DoD Digital Engineering Strategy and Army modernization initiatives

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
• Active SECRET clearance
• 5 years of systems engineering experience (defense or complex systems preferred)
• Foundational knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles
• Experience developing models using SysML and/or UML
• Hands-on experience with MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler, or similar MBSE tools
• Understanding of systems engineering processes (requirements management, verification & validation, configuration control)
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work in a collaborative government/contractor environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting U.S. Army programs, particularly within TACOM PEO Ground Combat Systems
• Familiarity with ground combat vehicle systems, artillery systems, or automotive platforms
• Experience integrating MBSE with tools such as DOORS, Jira, or other requirements/configuration management systems
• Exposure to digital engineering ecosystems and data interoperability frameworks
• Understanding of MIL-STD systems engineering processes and the JCIDS DoD acquisition lifecycle
• INCOSE ASEP/CSEP certification (or working toward certification)
