We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Systems Engineer to support the TASD team. The successful candidate will assist in the software development life cycle through requirements derivation, process development and refinement, Model-Based Systems Engineering model development, and contractual documentation. Collaborating with senior engineers, you will contribute to data-driven analysis and systems engineering workflows that ensure our simulation tools accurately represent current and future threat environments. This is an exceptional mid-level opportunity to grow your career in defense modeling and simulation.

Seeking candidates who are eager to learn, find satisfaction in working on complex technical challenges, and thrive in a collaborative, team-centric environment.

Essential Duties

• Support capability elicitation and derivation of requirements to realize requested development.
• Collaborate in defining and developing processes and procedures.
• Research and gain experience with missile defense concepts, space-based sensor phenomenology, and threat model trajectories.
• Work in close coordination with senior engineers to develop systems engineering artifacts supporting development and testing.
• Participate in the development and update of technical documentation, system requirements, and user guides for simulation tools.
• Provide briefings to customer(s) and stakeholder(s) related to technical solutions, process development and updates, and system engineering artifacts.
• Support training and orientation of simulation tools.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline from an accredited university and 5 years of related work experience, or a Master's Degree in STEM with 3 years of related work experience, or a PhD in STEM with 1 year of related work experience
• Practical experience executing or analyzing results from military modeling and simulation (M&S) frameworks
• Demonstrated experience in data analysis, scripting, or automation using Python, MATLAB, or C++
• Expert understanding of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) concepts
• Experience with MBSE tools such as CAMEO or MagicDraw
• Must be self-motivated and capable of executing technical tasks with minimal supervision
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 10% to support business needs
• Applicants must have a current active in-scope DoD Secret Clearance at the time of application which is required to start; with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret clearance with access to SCI

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Missile Defense Agency (MDA) ground test, flight test, or wargaming events
• Familiarity with missile defense concepts, space-based tracking/sensors, or orbital mechanics
• Understanding of Agile/Scrum development methodologies
• A current active in-scope DoD Top Secret Clearance with access to SCI (TS/SCI)
