Description
SAIC is seeking a Senior Digital Engineer with experience in applying Digital Engineering or Model-Based Systems Engineering tools and techniques for Department of Defense (DoD) space-based systems. This role provides systems engineering and integration expertise in support of the Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) Team.
PNT SE&I provides engineering, integration, technical analysis, and subject matter expertise (SME) support to the US Space Force. As a member of our PNT SE&I Team, you'll work in a high-paced environment with Government personnel and systems engineers to develop the PNT System Architecture using a dynamic MBSE methodology.
Major duties of this position include:

• Apply MBSE tools and techniques to capture system architecture using the 9 standard SysML diagrams; building the structural/behavioral system perspectives; and defining operations, services, interfaces, and the concept of operations to establish a model-based system technical baseline.
• Support requirements allocations and functional decomposition to hardware, software, and lower-level components of the system(s) within the models.
• Integrate models from disparate stakeholders into a cohesive end-to-end environment to enable an end-to-end architectural definition.
• Produce model-based products using scripts, including DoDAF products, to support program milestones and CDRL items.
• Apply Simulation/Analysis to the Mission Architecture via Cameo's Simulation Toolkit, Matlab, and STK.
• Help to establish best modeling practices with the Government to better enforce contractor SysML modeling standards.
• Enable the generation of systems engineering documentation for requirements, ICDs, systems design, CONOPS, verification, and testing.
• Collaborate with prime contractors, other team contractors, government stakeholders, and members of the U.S. Space Force.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics, physics or equivalent technical discipline and five (5) years of systems integration and systems engineering related or equivalent experience
• Active Secret Clearance with the ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance
• Experience working across space and ground segment organizations to coordinate and identify system requirements and key performance parameters to ensure end-to-end mission performance requirements are met.
• Experience with system architecture development.
• Strong experience using Cameo and knowledge of SysML 1.5.

Desired

• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.
• Experience working in an Agile team/framework.
• Knowledge of space operations and orbital dynamics is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of Matlab and/or Python, and STK.
• Basic understanding of the Global Positioning System (GPS).
