Be an Early Applicant
Develop and document complex autonomy-system architectures using MBSE, SysML, DoDAF, and service-oriented patterns. Establish modeling standards, ontologies, traceability, and toolchain workflows; integrate systems models and verification activities into CI/CD pipelines. Facilitate architecture sessions, support distributed implementations and multi-system integration, and collaborate with software, platform, and integration teams in DevOps environments. Communicate architectural concepts and maintain alignment across technical baselines and program milestones.
The Senior Systems Engineer II will independently and collaboratively conduct system-level activities supporting a group’s objectives of systems programs. This role will be responsible for supporting the development and documentation of complex system architectures within a digital engineering ecosystem. This role requires deep expertise in Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) viewpoints and modern service‑based architectural patterns. Working knowledge of autonomy reference architectures such as AGRA, UMAA, and WGRA and application of systems engineering practices to DevOps‑oriented environments are desired.
