Who We Are
HII – Mission Technologies is seeking a Systems Engineer. The Systems Engineer develops, implements, and manages Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) strategies, tools, and processes across the enterprise to support complex system development efforts. This role generates quantifiable system requirements based on customer needs, system‑planning activities, and acquisition logistics, ensuring that all requirements comply with client expectations and Government standards through formal verification methods. The engineer translates high‑level product strategies into detailed, actionable system specifications and collaborates with multidisciplinary engineering teams to derive lower‑level implementation requirements. Additional responsibilities include integrating system elements, designing and modifying interfaces, establishing engineering standards and processes, and applying open‑systems architectures such as MOSA and SOSA to improve system performance, affordability, and reconfigurability.
Salary range: $90,873.00‑$155,000.00
What You Will Do
- Create and implement enterprise‑wide MBSE roadmaps covering tools, methods, processes, and infrastructure.
- Generate clear, measurable system requirements based on customer descriptions, system design activities, and acquisition logistics.
- Ensure system requirements comply with client needs and Government standards through formal verification and validation.
- Translate high‑level development strategies into system‑level specifications and collaborate with engineering teams to develop detailed implementation requirements.
- Establish and coordinate engineering standards, practices, and procedures to support system development and lifecycle management.
- Design, modify, and integrate system interfaces to ensure components function cohesively as a complete system.
- Implement Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) to maximize affordability, performance, reconfigurability, and reuse across C4ISR subsystems and platforms.
- Assess system performance using defined evaluation criteria and technical performance metrics.
- Serve as a customer liaison to understand requirements, shape technical solutions, and support business‑development activities.
- Support planning and technology‑insertion initiatives to enhance system capabilities and lifecycle value.

- Familiarity with MBSE tools and frameworks (e.g., Cameo, Rhapsody, SysML).
- Strong knowledge of requirements analysis, verification, and validation in alignment with Government standards and customer expectations.
- Experience implementing or applying open‑systems approaches such as MOSA and SOSA.
- Ability to assess system performance and develop technical performance measures.
- Strong understanding of system interface design, integration, and architecture development.
- Experience coordinating engineering practices, standards, and product‑development processes.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage customers, shape requirements, and articulate technical strategies.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to translate complex strategies into actionable, detailed requirements.
- Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary engineering teams and manage priorities in a dynamic environment.
- Clearance: Must possess and maintain a Top‑Secret clearance.
