Our team members create, use, and evaluate engineering system models that describe and analyze complex space systems. We leverage a variety of MBSE modeling languages, methods, and tools that not only to help define system requirements and architectures, but also to estimate system design constraints such as performance, cost, and security.
Work Model: This position is hybrid with limited teleworking availability due to the needs of the customer.
What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and evaluate system models at different levels abstraction using a range of modeling languages and tools (SysML, UAFML, UPDM, Cameo, Sparx EA, Rhapsody etc.) to support customers that acquire, operate, and manage space, missile defense, and nuclear systems.
• Develop analytical computer models and software tools to rapidly create and analyze system concept designs for the concept design center (CDC) and other corporate centers (see our CDC video at https://aerospace.org/video/concept-design-center).
• Train other members of Aerospace technical staff, program office staff and government customers on MBSE.
• Infuse MBSE practices into our development programs and advise our customers on how to implement MBSE in their own programs.
• Create and maintain models that Aerospace subject matter experts use to support program milestone reviews.
• Share lessons learned and best practices across the MBSE community.
• Train Aerospace engineers to become MBSE representatives within their own organizations
• Be a major contributor on project teams to develop system models at various stages of system lifecycle.
• Assist with advising government customers on incorporating MBSE practices in their own space, launch, missile, and ground system programs supporting all aspects such as mission assurance, requirements development/traceability, and concept of operations development.
