Specialist, Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE)
L3Harris Technologies Mission Networks Division is seeking a Senior Specialist, Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE), to support a funded, multi-year Internal Research and Development (IRAD) effort. This role supports the application of Agile Systems Engineering and SAFe-based practices to advance innovative solutions for commercial FAA-related mission-critical infrastructure and services. This candidate is a Systems Engineer who leverages MBSE as an output of good Systems Engineering practices.
The selected candidate will lead the development, analysis, and maintenance of SysML-based system models, with emphasis on system architecture, interface definition, requirements traceability, and cross-disciplinary integration. This is an on-site position requiring hands-on proficiency with Cameo Systems Modeler and strong collaboration across software, security, test, and systems engineering teams.
Essential Functions:
- Perform system analysis activities including scope definition, problem analysis, requirements elicitation, and requirements development.
- Develop, maintain, and update SysML models to support system architecture, behavior, structure, interfaces, and integration.
- Create architecture and data models using SysML and related modeling frameworks, as appropriate.
- Produce model-derived outputs and reports, including artifacts such as CONOPS and other technical documentation.
- Support software-centric system development through model-based systems engineering methods and tools.
- Participate in Agile planning, reviews, and technical assessments across the system development lifecycle.
- Facilitate technical exchange meetings with stakeholders and support alignment of model content with program objectives.
- Collaborate across engineering disciplines and with internal and external stakeholders to ensure technical consistency, design quality, and mission alignment.
- Work closely with software, security, and test teams to maintain alignment between requirements, architecture, design, and verification activities.
- Contributes to the execution of the IRAD technical roadmap through disciplined model development and systems engineering rigor.
- Works under minimal supervision and is expected to operate independently within established technical objectives and program priorities.
- Other duties may be assigned.
- Ability to obtain US Security Clearance.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.
Preferred Additional Skills:
- 5 years of direct experience in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using SysML and Cameo Systems Modeler.
- 4 years of experience across multiple phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including requirements analysis, design, development, integration, test, implementation, documentation, and evaluation.
- Experience developing and applying all nine SysML diagram types in support of system analysis and design.
- Experience using Cameo Systems Modeler tool suite, including Teamwork Cloud.
- Proficiency in scripting or automating functions within Cameo Systems Modeler.
- Experience generating model-based reports and technical outputs directly from MBSE environments.
- Familiarity with Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) or related architecture modeling frameworks.
- Knowledge of current and emerging FAA architecture and operating environments.
- Experience supporting operational analysis, architectural decomposition, and requirements development at multiple levels of detail.
- Experience with requirements management tools such as Jama Connect.
- Experience presenting MBSE approaches, models, and technical findings to customers and stakeholders during reviews and technical exchange meetings.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and a proactive work ethic.
- Ability to work effectively both independently and in a collaborative team environment.
- Familiarity with INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional certification frameworks; CSEP knowledge or certification is a plus.
