This candidate will provide direct support to Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) and translate requirements into acquisition strategies. In this role, you will be working directly with our clients using model-based systems engineering to solve complex technical and business challenges. As part of a team, you will use analytical and problem-solving skills to help our clients meet long-term process digitization goals, creating a collaborative digital environment that enables readiness, affordability, and innovation to support our nation’s warfighters.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Apply Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods to perform requirements analysis, requirements definition, requirements management, functional analysis, performance analysis, system design, detail trade studies, systems integration, and test (verification), validation and interface definition studies of subsystem or system elements under supervision of the lead systems engineer
- Analyze existing and approved platform requirements documentation (Capabilities Development Document, System Requirements Document, etc.)
- Use requirements analysis to create and maintain the Government Reference Architecture (GRA) and/or Enterprise Architecture Framework (WAF) in Cameo Enterprise Architecture or similar SysML tool
- Modify and update platform models on a regular basis to reflect DoD acquisition strategies, specific technical sub-categories, and define basic mission activities and modeling
- Produce and deliver MBSE models as supplements to numerous Program acquisition documents including the Acquisition Strategy Plan, Statement of Work, Systems Engineering Plan, Test and Evaluation Master Plan, and others as needed.
- Develop system CONOPS, architecture, and interface definitions of complex systems in an MBSE environment
- Support effective transition of existing systems engineering and technical data packages (TDPs) from traditional document-based processes to reusable model-based artifacts
- Support management of models and derived work products consistent with project configuration and data management processes and standards.
- Conduct walkthroughs and formal reviews of system requirements and architecture models developed using SysML and MBSE processes
- Perform detailed technical analyses for a subsystem or system elements
- Collaborate with systems engineering leads as well as domain and discipline subject matter experts (SMEs) to tailor MBSE to project scope and cost and schedule constraints.
- Translate processes from traditional document-based system engineering efforts to delivery of model-based work products to customers
- Train others on MBSE concepts and tools
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s Degree in STEM with a minimum of 8 years of related experience (advanced degrees may be applicable in lieu of experience)
- Experience in Cameo SysML Modeling to develop models of system requirements, architecture/design, and/or interfaces.
- DoD Clearance Requirement: Ability to obtain a Secret or to gain a Top Secret/SCI
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Understanding of the Army’s Digital Transformation guidance and initiatives
- Able to synthesize knowledge from multiple domains to apply to new, complicated problems
- Experience applying SysML-based MBSE methods, tools, and frameworks to develop rigorous specifications and models of commercial and/or DoD systems/components.
