Job description

Job Number: R0237075

The Opportunity

As an expert in defense missions, your background inspires you to think bigger, push further, and solve problems others cannot. We need your deep systems engineering, modeling, and analytical expertise to help USSPACECOM, the Joint Force, and the Intelligence Community shape credible, interoperable modeling and simulation capabilities that directly inform strategic decision‑making.

As a Modeling and Simulation Systems Architect, you will bring advanced MBSE, SysML, UML, digital engineering, architecture, and requirements expertise to work alongside thought leaders in engineering, space operations, data, and analysis. You will support projects for USSPACECOM, ensuring our systems accurately represent mission threads, cross‑domain effects, and strategic‑level decision workflows.

You will formally model strategic processes and behaviors, design coherent digital system architectures, and define the interfaces required to integrate our simulation into the Joint Staff environments and other operational or M&S systems. Your digital blueprint becomes the single source of truth for developers and stakeholders, ensuring what we build is technically rigorous, interoperable by design, and fully traceable from requirements to implementation.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have

• Experience applying MBSE to develop coherent and authoritative digital system models that capture architecture, requirements, behaviors, and system interactions
• Experience in SysML and UML to model system structure, behavior, mission workflows, and strategic‑level operational processes
• Experience in applying UAF or DoD digital engineering frameworks to architect system‑of‑systems solutions for space or joint operations
• Experience in requirements management, including formal capture, analysis, validation, and end‑to‑end traceability within a digital model
• Experience in designing digital interfaces and integrating complex systems into joint M&S environments, including JLVC federation interoperability
• Ability to translate complex mission challenges into clear, actionable architectural models and communicate them effectively to developers, government leads, and technical stakeholders
• TS/SCI clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or systems engineering

Nice If You Have

• Experience supporting USSPACECOM J7, Joint Staff, Service components, or IC modeling and simulation efforts
• Experience developing or operating M&S capabilities in training, exercises, experimentation, or operational decision support
• Experience with DoDAF, additional digital engineering frameworks, enterprise integration patterns, or data architecture concepts
• Knowledge of APIs, data exchange standards, or software development practices relevant to M&S tools
• Ability to synthesize technical and mission information for diverse joint and space stakeholders
• Master’s degree in engineering, systems engineering, computer science, or data science
• INCOSE ASEP, CSEP, or OMG SysML Certification

Clearance

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; TS/SCI clearance is required.
