Engineer Senior - MBSE

Job Description
Contingent upon contract award to BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems and subsequent task orders.
BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems (SMS) is seeking a Systems Engineer who is highly skilled in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to lead the implementation of digital engineering strategies and architectural modernization. This role focuses on the evolution of system architectures, transitioning from legacy modeling standards to SysML v1.x and v2.0 frameworks, and developing complex system-of-systems models. You will be responsible for integrating MBSE into comprehensive engineering workflows and deploying model and software artifacts via CI/CD pipelines into secure cloud architectures. Your work will ensure that mission-critical capabilities are designed, validated, and delivered with agility and technical rigor.
This role is pivotal to the advancement of Digital Engineering across the organization. By migrating legacy models to modern standards and developing formal verification frameworks, you enable the achievement of higher semantic interoperability and more accurate system performance predictions. Your ability to bridge the gap between high-level architectural models and simulation ecosystems ensures that complex systems are validated, secure, and scalable.
