Job description

Sr Model-Based Systems Engineer

Location: US-IN-Crane

Job ID: 2026-10898

Overview

The Senior MBSE Engineer applies Model-Based Systems Engineering methodologies to complex DoD platforms and hardware‑centric mission systems composed of sensors, payloads, communications, processing, and supporting software elements. This role supports platform architecture development, system engineering technical reviews (SETR), and digital thread traceability from mission needs through system verification and validation, with emphasis on enabling and assessing end‑to‑end kill‑chain performance, including EMSO‑relevant capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Developing and maintaining MBSE products supporting DoD platform architecture definition, mission engineering, and kill‑chain analysis in support of SETR activities
• Creating and managing SysML/UML models capturing system requirements, functional behavior, physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and kill‑chain functional threads
• Generating SETR artifacts including platform architecture views, functional threads, interface definitions, kill‑chain mappings, and verification mappings
• Developing and managing MBSE meta‑chain reporting templates supporting platform‑level digital thread traceability, including kill‑chain dependencies and performance drivers
• Performing data management (DM) and configuration management (CM) of MBSE artifacts across model repositories
• Integrating MBSE products with hardware‑centric modeling, simulation, and analysis environments, supporting kill‑chain assessment
• Supporting platform and mission assessments within Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) and operational test environments
• Collaborating with hardware, software, integration, and test teams to ensure model fidelity, platform integration readiness, interoperability, and kill‑chain coherence

FILLING THIS POSITION IS CONTINGENT UPON FUNDING

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or STEM discipline from an ABET‑accredited institution
• Seven or more years of systems engineering experience supporting DoD platforms or hardware‑intensive systems using MBSE
• Expert knowledge of MBSE methodologies applied to platform‑level and hardware‑centric system architectures, including mission and kill‑chain analysis
• Proficiency with MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, Rational Rhapsody, DOORS, and Teamwork Cloud
• Strong experience producing platform architecture and SETR artifacts
• Experience with system‑level requirements traceability, verification planning, and mission thread development

Desired Skills

• Experience supporting DoD platforms, mission systems, or hardware‑centric defense programs with kill‑chain or mission‑thread focus
• Experience modeling physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and system integration boundaries impacting kill‑chain performance
• Familiarity with integrating MBSE products with platform development, integration, and test activities supporting end‑to‑end mission execution
