We are seeking a Digital Engineer/Architect to support the Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) Mission Planning program. The position will be located in Redondo Beach, CA.
This position is contingent upon program award and/or customer funding.
What You'll Get To Do:
The Digital Engineer will be responsible for developing and managing virtual representations of complex systems using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles, allowing for detailed analysis, optimization, and prediction of system behavior across its lifecycle, often by simulating various operating conditions to identify potential issues and improve design before physical prototypes are built. This role combines expertise in digital concepts, systems engineering, and software architecture to create virtual representants of physical systems that support design, testing and lifecycle management.
You will support the development of advanced digital engineering solutions for complex systems. In addition, you will bring a strong expertise in MBSE, requirements management (DOORS), software architecture and design, and a foundational understanding of cybersecurity principles.
Additional responsibilities include:

• Apply MBSE methodologies in development of systems and ensure traceability from requirements to implementation
• Participate in technical discussions to ensure system integrity and alignment with project goals
• Design scalable and reliable software architectures to support digital systems and their integration with physical assets
• Ensure that software designs align with overall systems requirements and operational use cases
• Develop and apply a detailed understanding of systems modeling, engineering, requirements analysis, and design concepts to create, assess, and operationalize MBSE approaches to solving systems architecture, engineering, and integration challenges of the satellite system
• Develop model profiles, system diagrams, architecture frameworks, and model queries in the MBSE tools that capture and analyze the system throughout their lifecycle from concept definition through integration
• Integrate and collaborate with multi-disciplinary technical teams to transform requirements and technical information into MBSE tools for analysis and decision-making
• Ensure system technical compliance with the program Statement of Work (SOW) and system requirements
• Provide detailed, prioritized recommendations derived from analysis results to optimize system performance and ensure compliance with requirements through formal presentations to technical leads and reports
Basic Qualifications

• Active DoD Secret clearance required at the time of application
• Understanding of NG and customer Digital Engineering processes, Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), and Cameo Systems Modeler
• Working knowledge of systems engineering principles and processes
• Knowledge of digital principles and applications
• Proficiency in MBSE tools and techniques (e.g. CAMEO)
• Strong understanding of software architecture and system integration
• Understanding of Ground System architecture including Spacecraft Command and Control (C2), TT&C, and industry establishments.
• Experience with Agile development
• Ability to communicate and present effectively
• Direct experience using the DOORS Requirements Management Database
• Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering languages (SysML/UML) and concepts
• Experience defining modeling processes, style guides, and architecture review for large ground systems
Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience conducting design reviews leveraging the CAMEO models
• Excellent technical writing and team building skills
• Active DoD Top Secret and/or SCI clearance
• Knowledge of cybersecurity principles to secure both virtual and physical assets
