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.

- Integrate MBSE products within CI/CD pipelines to ensure models remain authoritative throughout the lifecycle.
- Drive architecture development sessions and facilitate cross‑disciplinary alignment using structured modeling and digital engineering practices.
- Capture behavioral, functional, and interface architectures that support autonomous system development and multi‑system integration.
- Support the transition of existing software designs into distributed, service‑oriented implementations.
- Collaborate closely with software, integration, and platform teams to ensure architectural intent is maintained within DevOps workflows.
- Provide SE input for automated testing, versioning of system models, and requirements verification integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
- Communicate complex architectural concepts to technical and non‑technical audiences through structured diagrams, modeling artifacts, and clear documentation and engage with cross‑functional teams to ensure architectural cohesion and alignment with program milestones and technical baselines.
- This position requires the ability to sit or stand at a desk and work on a computer for prolonged periods of time.
- Must be able to obtain and maintain an active US DOD Security Clearance.
