As a Lead Mission Engineer, you will support Army sponsors in the development of mission architectures, operational concepts, and system-of-systems solutions to address critical warfighting challenges, leading engineering analyses and architecture development with small multidisciplinary teams.
Compensation
Salary compensation range and midpoint: $146,400 - $183,000 - $219,600 Annual
Responsibilities
Partner with Army sponsors to execute mission engineering, architecture development, and capability assessment activities aligned to operational priorities.
Collaborate across the Systems Engineering Division and MITRE technical community to integrate expertise in systems engineering, digital engineering, communications, modeling and simulation, data analytics, and operational analysis.
Develop and assess mission architectures, operational concepts, and system-of-systems solutions using mission engineering, MBSE, digital engineering, and quantitative analysis techniques.
Evaluate capability gaps, mission effectiveness, operational risks, and technical tradeoffs to support government decision-making.
Apply modern engineering methods and tools, including Digital Engineering, MBSE, AI/ML, data analytics, and modeling and simulation, to support architecture development, requirements analysis, and modernization efforts.
Lead Systems Engineer to provide technical leadership in the design, implementation, and integration of enterprise systems and systems-of-systems, and the analysis of missions for federal agencies.
Compensation
$146,400 - $183,000 - $219,600 Annual
Responsibilities
Providing technical leadership in systems and mission engineering, with awareness of sponsor needs, to identify and shape areas where MITRE can have significant impact.
Driving the application of modern methods and tools — such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Digital Engineering, Mission Engineering, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics — to assess capability needs, requirements, architectures, designs, performance constraints and gaps, proposed changes, and verification and test approaches.
Leading the evaluation and comparison of alternative architectures using qualitative and quantitative techniques and exploring large tradespaces, while articulating major uncertainties and the associated risks and opportunities.
Defining metrics and standards to measure and analyze relevant system properties, such as robustness, resiliency, interoperability, quality, and maintainability.
Leading requirements management and analysis, interface management, architecture development and change management, and test and evaluation processes.
