• Activity diagrams modeling operational scenarios and system functions
• Sequence diagrams for interface behavior and message exchanges
• State machine diagrams for mode management and system states
• Requirement diagrams establishing traceability to stakeholder needs
• Perform model-based analysis to support design decisions, trade studies, and technical reviews
• Maintain model quality and consistency through adherence to modeling standards, naming conventions, and configuration management practices
• Generate model-derived products including interface control documents, architecture views, traceability matrices, and technical reports Collaboration & Integration (30%)
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (software, hardware, test, integration) to ensure model accuracy and alignment with program objectives
• Support requirements analysis by developing and maintaining bidirectional traceability between stakeholder needs and system design elements
• Participate in technical reviews presenting model-based architecture products to engineering teams and government stakeholders
• Contribute to digital engineering objectives by maintaining model connections to requirements management tools and supporting documentation generation
• Produce clear technical deliverables that communicate complex system relationships to both technical and non-technical audiences What You’ll Bring

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field
