Join our team of experienced engineers in the development and institutionalization of a Digital Engineering environment set to confront these challenges. As a Solvarus team member, you will work closely as part of multiple Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to architect and design Space and Ground solutions using advanced Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) processes and techniques. These solutions will be related to space‑to‑space as well as ground‑to‑space communication, processing and command & control. You will work with SIGINT and GEOINT subject matter experts to craft MBSE mission‑based models and will lead the adoption of MBSE in the Intelligence Community. Solvarus also provides team members training toward Object Certified Systems Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification.

Responsibilities

• Create engineering artifacts and develop models of mission systems using a MBSE tool suite that includes NoMagic Cameo EA, Rhapsody, Sparx EA as well as other systems engineering tools.
• Define the appropriate data standards, data structures, and supporting COTS, GOTS, and open‑source technologies required to manage the data needs.
• Integrate enterprise tools and develop MBSE‑based processes to support requirements engineering, the customer’s ERB process, CONOPS and architecture development, risk, issues and opportunity management boards, schedule management, test and verification strategy development, and system integration of new initiatives in support of expanded mission capabilities.
• Facilitate collaboration between the MBSE users and the tool development team to communicate modeling needs and help innovate potential solutions.
• Provide technical advice and guidance to senior managers regarding the creation and implementation of new MBSE methods and techniques.

Required Skills

• Requires 0 to 5 years with BS/BA or 2 to 3 years with MS/MA.
• Must have a current and active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
• BS in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or related STEM degree.
• Should possess the skills and/or the desire to learn the skills necessary to use industry MBSE tools and modeling methodologies to successfully produce systems engineering models, such as NoMagic Cameo. Experience with systems engineering processes in support of system development life‑cycle development is a plus.
• Demonstrated knowledge and/or the desire to learn practical application of UML / SysML modeling languages and experience applying this common structure to an MBSE solution.
• Entry level knowledge of architecture, requirements engineering, CONOPS development, verification, test, and system integration to accommodate end‑to‑end systems engineering.
• Strong communication skills especially with tool developers and customers.

Desired Skills

• Knowledge or demonstrated experience with DoDAF, UPDM and/or UAF.
• Object Certified Systems Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification.
