MBSE Engineer

Telesis Research LLC; Huntsville (AL); On-site; USD 110,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Telesis Research LLC in Huntsville, AL is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead MBSE activities for missile defense programs. You will develop descriptive system models with SysML, map requirements to architecture, and support major program milestone reviews at SRR, PDR, CDR.

The role requires 7+ years in DoD programs, active DoD Secret clearance, and strong experience with DoDAF/UAF and MBSE tools like Cameo and Sparx.

Qualifications

• Active DoD Secret clearance.
• 7+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs.
• Demonstrated proficiency with SysML (Systems Modeling Language) and core systems engineering frameworks (DoDAF, UAF).
• Hands-on experience with MBSE modeling tools (Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architect, MagicDraw, Sparx EA).
• Ability to distill complex system architectures into clear diagrams, documentation, and briefings for multidisciplinary stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain descriptive system models using SysML to capture system behaviors, structure, interfaces, and requirements across MDA programs.
• Map system-level and component-level requirements directly to architecture artifacts, ensuring end-to-end traceability, verification matrices, and baseline integrity.
• Support the implementation of MDA Digital Engineering initiatives by linking MBSE models with external tools, simulations, and data repositories.
• Assist in preparing and presenting model-centric artifacts for major program milestone reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, CCBs).
• Conduct architectural trade studies, analyze IDDs/ICDs, and model system interfaces to identify gaps and resolve integration risks.
• Maintain version control and configuration baseline compliance for SysML models per program data management standards.

Job description

Requisition #: TLS-26-032 | Clearance: Active DoD Secret (US citizenship required) | Level: Senior | Experience: 7+ years | Education: Bachelor's (4-yr) | Work site: Redstone Arsenal - Huntsville, AL (on-site)

What you'll do:

• Develop and maintain descriptive system models using SysML to capture system behaviors, structure, interfaces, and operational requirements across MDA programs
• Map system-level and component-level requirements directly to architecture artifacts, ensuring end-to-end traceability, verification matrices, and baseline integrity
• Support the implementation of MDA Digital Engineering initiatives by linking MBSE models with external tools, simulations, and data repositories
• Assist in preparing and presenting model-centric artifacts for major program milestone reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR, CCBs)
• Conduct architectural trade studies, analyze interface definition documents (IDDs/ICDs), and model system interfaces to identify gaps and resolve integration risks
• Maintain version control and configuration baseline compliance for SysML models in accordance with program data management standards

Required qualifications:

• Active DoD Secret clearance
• Bachelor's degree with 7+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs
• Demonstrated proficiency with SysML (Systems Modeling Language) and core systems engineering frameworks (DoDAF, UAF)
• Hands-on experience with industry-standard MBSE modeling tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler / Cameo Enterprise Architect, MagicDraw, Sparx Enterprise Architect)
• Ability to distill complex system architectures into clear, concise diagrams, technical documentation, and briefings for multidisciplinary stakeholders

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience supporting MDA programs (e.g., Targets and Countermeasures, Ground-Based Midcourse Defense, THAAD, Aegis BMD, or C2BMC)
• OMG-Certified Systems Modeling Professional (OCSMP) certification (Fundamental, Intermediate, or Advanced)
• Working knowledge of requirement management tools (e.g., DOORS, Cameo Requirements Plugin) and issue-tracking platforms (Jira, Confluence)
• Experience integrating MBSE models with analytical/simulation environments (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or OpenMBEE)
• Familiarity with DoD Systems Engineering processes, CDRLs, and technical baseline governance
