Job description

Model Based Systems Engineer The Opportunity: Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact in system modeling for the DoD? You understand your customer’s environment and how to develop the right systems for their mission. Your ability to translate real-world needs into technical specifications, makes you an integral part of delivering a customer focused engineering solution. You'll support the PAE Mission Systems Digital Engineering (DE) Lead to steer the development and technical direction of DE standards, ontologies, and work products. You will apply advanced technical knowledge of MBSE tools, languages, and methodologies to provide insight and recommendations for direction of technical products development. You'll provide technical oversight and lead development and maintenance of Navy MBSE technical products such as the Base Classifier Library (BCL), Integrated Dictionary (ID), Model Verification Tool execution, and Deployable Ready Products (DRP). You'll work independently with some guidance and may review or guide activities of more junior employees. As a systems engineer on our team, you have the chance to design MBSE techniques and practices in support of DoD C4I systems across the life cycle. Your technical expertise will be vital as you implement MBSE approaches and tools to help client delivery teams transition to model-based system architectures. You’ll develop your skills in SysML, object-oriented systems engineering method functions-based systems engineering method, and integration while gaining experience in C4I and enterprise networking technologies. Grow your skills by merging system modeling and networking to create robust network system architectures for development, implementation, and sustainment. Join our team and help turn requirements into accomplishments that drive change. Join us. The world can't wait.
