Quantitative Systems Engineer: Resilient Architectures

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory; Laurel (MD); Sur place; USD 100 000 - 245 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) seeks a Quantitative Systems Engineer to evaluate resilient software architectures and data networks for national defense programs. You will analyze software-intensive systems and model data flows to guide architecture decisions within the System Realization and Resilience Group.

Responsibilities include performing rigorous design analysis, building Cameo/MagicDraw models, and conducting trade studies to identify bottlenecks and

Qualifications

• BS in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Network Engineering or closely related technical discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in quantitative: software design analysis, network topology evaluation or digital system architectural analysis.
• Experience evaluating system interfaces, data pipelines, and distributed communications through quantitative modeling or architectural simulation.
• Familiarity with MBSE tools such as Cameo Enterprise Architect / MagicDraw (SysML).
• Ability to travel periodically (5–10%), including sponsor offices or contractor/military test facilities.
• Eligibility for U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance.

Responsabilités

• Perform rigorous technical design analysis of complex, software-intensive architectures, evaluating system-level data flows, protocol latency, failover mechanisms, and network survivability.
• Construct and interrogate structural and behavioral system models in Cameo/MagicDraw to evaluate architectural logic, software interface boundaries, and data exchanges.
• Conduct quantitative trade studies and vulnerability assessments to identify performance bottlenecks, integration friction, and resilience risks early in development.
• Collaborate with multi-specialty engineering teams to translate analytical findings into actionable architectural improvements and communicate results to sponsors and contractors.
