About the job

Requirements
  • A bachelor's degree in engineering or a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics discipline from an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology-accredited institution.
  • Seven or more years of systems engineering experience supporting Department of Defense platforms or hardware-intensive systems using Model-Based Systems Engineering.
  • Expert knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering methodologies applied to platform-level and hardware-centric system architectures, including mission and kill-chain analysis.
  • Proficiency with Model-Based Systems Engineering tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, Rational Rhapsody, DOORS, and Teamwork Cloud.
  • Strong experience producing platform architecture and system engineering technical review artifacts.
  • Experience with system-level requirements traceability, verification planning, and mission thread development.
  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • A U.S. government security clearance at the Secret level with Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information eligibility is required.
Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain Model-Based Systems Engineering products supporting Department of Defense platform architecture definition, mission engineering, and kill-chain analysis in support of system engineering technical review activities.
  • Create and manage SysML/UML models capturing system requirements, functional behavior, physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and kill-chain functional threads.
  • Generate system engineering technical review artifacts including platform architecture views, functional threads, interface definitions, kill-chain mappings, and verification mappings.
  • Develop and manage Model-Based Systems Engineering meta-chain reporting templates supporting platform-level digital thread traceability, including kill-chain dependencies and performance drivers.
  • Perform data management and configuration management of Model-Based Systems Engineering artifacts across model repositories.
  • Integrate Model-Based Systems Engineering products with hardware-centric modeling, simulation, and analysis environments supporting kill-chain assessment.
  • Support platform and mission assessments within Live, Virtual, and Constructive and operational test environments.
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, integration, and test teams to ensure model fidelity, platform integration readiness, interoperability, and kill-chain coherence.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience supporting Department of Defense platforms, mission systems, or hardware-centric defense programs with kill-chain or mission-thread focus.
  • Experience modeling physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and system integration boundaries impacting kill-chain performance.
  • Familiarity with integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering products with platform development, integration, and test activities supporting end-to-end mission execution.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • NAVSEA Seaport Enhanced gives SRC access to a $3.5 billion, 15-year Navy pipeline.
  • The August 2026 Navy contract for C4I engineering broadens work across multiple ship fleets.
  • CBP kept SRC as incumbent for $21.39 million aircraft sensor support through September 2026.

What critics are saying

  • CBP’s Aircraft Sensors Technical Support Services ends September 22, 2026, forcing recompete risk.
  • SRC’s growth depends on defense contracting cycles and incumbent renewals, not product revenue.
  • Private ownership and federal concentration make a single protest or budget cut damaging.

What makes Scientific Research Corporation unique

  • SRC won NAVSEA Seaport Enhanced across seven zones in March 2026.
  • SRC holds deep C4I, cyber, and aircraft-sensor sustainment work across Navy and CBP.
  • SRC remains embedded in follow-on federal vehicles, including OASIS UNR and Seaport.
