What You’ll Do

• Develop, maintain, and evaluate system architectures and engineering models supporting naval combat systems, weapon systems, and associated combat system elements, ensuring alignment with operational requirements, mission objectives, and established systems engineering practices.
• Apply MBSE methodologies to define system requirements, architecture relationships, functional behaviors, interfaces, and system configurations while improving requirements traceability, model consistency, and engineering analysis across complex system environments.
• Perform systems engineering analysis, technical assessments, and trade studies to evaluate system functionality, performance, interoperability, and integration considerations across U.S. Government and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) technical baselines.
• Support the development, maintenance, and configuration management of system requirements, technical documentation, engineering baselines, system interfaces, and architecture products throughout the systems engineering lifecycle.
• Evaluate system design changes, integration dependencies, and mission-level functional requirements to identify technical risks, assess operational impacts, and develop engineering recommendations supporting system development and modernization activities.
• Support research, development, systems integration, testing, and evaluation activities associated with Navy and Department of Defense weapon systems, including technical reviews, engineering assessments, and verification of system requirements and capabilities.
• Collaborate with Government personnel, contractors, systems engineers, software engineers, integration teams, and other technical specialists to resolve engineering challenges, coordinate technical deliverables, and support the successful development and integration of complex defense systems.

What You’ll Bring
