About the role
- Apply formal application of model-based systems engineering techniques and tools in executing Systems Engineering (SE) activities consistent with Industry, DOD, and Department of Navy standards and best practices. This includes executing the following activities:
- Requirements analysis, modeling with traceability between requirements and from requirements to system/subsystems, to system functionality, and to test constructs and other model objects.
- Develop and manage DOD Architecture Framework (DODAF)-described views.
- Expeditionary Medical Systems analysis and decomposition, including development of internal block diagrams, block definition diagrams, and other custom views and diagrams.
- Activity/behavior modeling.
- Identify interface definitions.
- Test support, including development of Requirements Traceability and Verification Matrix (RTVMs), Performance Specifications (PSPECs), and test plans in modeling tools.
- Simulation and other analysis (including but not limited to trade-off analysis).
- Apply industry/DOD/DON Systems Engineering guidance, including INCOSE SE Handbook, to SE activities.
- Apply standard modeling languages, including Unified Modeling Language, Systems Modeling Language, and Unified Architecture Framework, to conduct SE activities.
- Apply architecture frameworks and leverage reference models, including the DOD Architecture Framework (DODAF) and Naval Federated Architecture Reference Models (NFARM), to develop SE models.
- Employ DON-approved modeling tools and MBSE environments, including the Naval Integrated Modeling Environment (Naval IME) and Cameo Systems Model, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, and Teamwork Cloud.
- This includes executing SE activities in modeling tools, exporting tailored and standard reports (e.g., requirements traceability and verification matrices, performance specifications, system and subsystem specifications, interface control documents, test plans, tables, diagrams, and briefs) from models, and processing and importing data (e.g., tables) into the model to update model objects.
- Responsible for identifying standard operating procedures to support 408/EXMED-specific SE activities, in the absence of industry/DOD/DON standards/guidance and augmenting existing guidance as required to improve fidelity and actionability of models and other SE products.
- Apply SE guidance and MBSE techniques to managing systems, system components, systems of systems, families of systems, and enterprise architectures.
- Be able to communicate MBSE contributions to broader Navy and joint mission objectives.
- In addition to the technical qualifications, we seek candidates who can work independently or in a small team setting that can use problem-solving skills and adapt quickly to changing priorities. Must have effective communication and organizational abilities that are essential for collaborating with diverse teams and stakeholders. Must be willing to support leadership in mentoring non-engineers and lead technical reviews as necessary. This role offers a hybrid work schedule, allowing for a combination of remote and on-site work to provide flexibility while ensuring the mission's success.

- Database management (SharePoint).
- Defense Acquisition System JCIDS processes.
- Research and Development efforts.
- Microsoft 365 Tools (Project, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint).
- OPSEC requirements.
- Excellent communication (oral and written) and organizational skills.
