Clearance: Ability to obtain Secret clearance

Leidos is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) experience to act as a systems engineer and lead systems modeler. In this role, you will drive the development, maintenance, and integration of large-scale systems engineering models using DoDAF in support of our customers’ mission. This is an exciting opportunity to drive a model design and apply hands‑on experience with SysML, Cameo Systems Modeler, and collaborative model management in a dynamic engineering environment.

You will be supporting the design and delivery of network services (subsea, terrestrial and Satellite Communication (SATCOM) backup) that will meet the requirement of the Tactical Multi-Mission Over-the-Horizon Radar (TACMOR) program. The network services will include the management, on‑island communications, off‑island communications, and an integration facility to be used to ensure consistent interfaces and end‑to‑end service delivery.

The successful candidate will work closely with the chief engineer, system design team, system modelers and other technical disciplines to develop and maintain authoritative system models, establish and maintain requirements traceability, validate model integrity, and support the adoption of MBSE practices across engineering teams. Qualified applicants must be self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and able to work effectively in an environment with evolving priorities and technically complex requirements.

This position is 100% remote (US based location) with travel to both CONUS and OCONUS locations.

Develop MBSE output from Cameo to include ICD, IDD, SDD, RVTM, and other engineering artifacts to support design reviews and testing processes using Cameo Report Wizard.
• Manage collaborative model development using Cameo Teamwork Cloud.
• Establish and maintain traceability between system requirements and model artifacts using Cameo.
• Review models developed by other engineers for quality, consistency, completeness, and adherence to established modeling practices.
• Support the development, documentation, and implementation of MBSE modeling standards, processes, and best practices.
• Collaborate with systems engineers, software engineers, and other technical disciplines to translate engineering requirements and concepts into structured system models.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to engineers adopting MBSE practices and modeling tools.
• Support customer technical meetings, engineering reviews, demonstrations, and capability briefings as required.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes through expanded use of MBSE, modeling, simulation, and digital engineering practices.
• Support requirements analysis, system integration, technical assessments, and other systems engineering activities as needed.
