    • Master's Degree or equivalent, may be preferred at this level
  • 3–5+ years of engineering experience, with at least 2 years focused on digital engineering, systems integration, or MBSE methodologies in a defense, aerospace, or government contractor environment.
  • Hands-on experience with systems modeling tools, specifically Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, or IBM Rhapsody, and a strong understanding of SysML and DoDAF.
  • Proficiency in Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or Java for tool integration, scripting, and manipulating API frameworks.

  • Excellent collaborative problem-solving skills, curiosity for multi-disciplinary technologies, and the ability to champion digital transformation across traditional engineering groups.
