Position Summary

We are recruiting for a contract Systems Engineer in Orlando, FL, supporting rotary-wing flight simulation with an assignment focused on CH-53K ownship software and SysML. You will help turn operational and training needs into clear, implementable engineering solutions for next-generation helicopter simulation. The team's work includes pilot maneuvers, normal and emergency procedures, aircraft-system behavior and malfunctions, mission scenarios, recording/replay, after-action review, and simulator hardware/software interfaces. You will help define, decompose, trace, and verify requirements and interfaces across simulation software, hardware, training workflows, and supporting infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Connect training needs to system architecture, behavior, and verification planning by collaborating with software developers, integration/test engineers, pilots, instructors, and subject-matter experts.
• Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles and develop or interpret SysML models covering requirements, use cases, structure, behavior, interfaces, and traceability.
• Perform requirements decomposition, interface definition, architecture development, and verification planning.
• Support integration, test, verification, validation, troubleshooting, and technical baseline management.
• Analyze system interactions and clearly communicate requirements, assumptions, interfaces, and technical risks.
• Responsibly utilize AI-assisted research, analysis, or development tools with independent validation of results.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Education: A valid Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent experience). Experience: Minimum of 3-4+ years of professional engineering experience. (Aligns with Level 2: BS+4-8 YRS or MS+2-6 YRS)

Core Skills: Cameo/SysML MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering). Requirements decomposition, interface definition, architecture development, and verification planning. Working knowledge of C++ sufficient to collaborate with software teams and understand implementation constraints.

On-Site Requirement: Must be able to work on-site in Orlando, FL 2-3 days per week.
