Senior Systems Engineer

Location: Norfolk, VA

• Oversee the creation and integration of hybrid software, web, and hardware systems from concept to deployment.
• Develop and maintain system architecture models using MBSE methodologies (e.g., SysML) to support requirements decomposition, interface definition, behavior modeling, and verification planning.
• Establish and manage digital system models to ensure traceability between requirements, architecture, design elements, and test artifacts.
• Support development of system requirements, interface control documents (ICDs), and architecture artifacts using model-based approaches.
• Perform system modeling activities including operational views, logical and physical architectures, interface definitions, and parametric analyses.
• Ensure bidirectional traceability between mission requirements, system functions, hardware/software components, and verification methods.
• Facilitate model reviews, configuration management, and model governance in alignment with DoD and Navy standards.
• Evaluate overall project design considerations including technical feasibility, cost, schedule, cybersecurity, and potential operational impacts.
• Ensure systems meet operational and technical requirements while adhering to established standards.
• Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments, trade studies, and system performance evaluations using model-driven data.
• Support continuous improvement efforts, applying lessons learned to future designs and development processes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (hardware, software, cybersecurity, test, and integration) to maintain alignment between system models and implementation.

• At least 7 years of professional experience overseeing hybrid system development projects from initial design through sustainment.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field.
• Demonstrated experience integrating operating systems, applications, and hardware devices.
• At least 3–5 years of experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles in DoD or complex system environments.
• Experience developing system models using SysML and MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo/MagicDraw).
• Ability to establish and maintain requirements traceability within a model-based environment.
