• Perform functional analysis using MBSE methodologies
• Create and maintain SysML models to describe platform behaviors
• Develop and support subsystem integration and test plans
• Capture and review system/subsystem connectivity diagrams
• Integrate components into established vehicle architectures
• Support in-lab and on-vehicle integration and verification activities
• Develop and validate system performance requirements
• Support electrical interface definition and schematic development

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Control Systems, Software Engineering, or related field (other technical degrees considered with relevant experience)
• 10+ years of engineering experience (less considered with advanced degree)
• Broad systems engineering knowledge across electrical and mechanical disciplines
• Significant experience with:
  • MBSE methodologies
  • CAMEO (SysML modeling tool)
  • Capital Harness System (CHS) for electrical interface/schematic capture
• Ability to work in integrated vehicle environments
• Experience with system integration and verification activities

• Must be eligible to obtain a U.S. security clearance
• Must meet Anthropometric Size Requirements (ASR) for confined vehicle spaces
• Ability to climb on/off and work in/around military vehicles
• On-site presence required (up to 100%)
