Seeking a Systems Architecture Engineer to support a DoD program analyzing and developing next-generation architecture for Rotorcraft and advanced Army aviation systems, specifically the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Program.
Responsibilities
Utilize Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and modeling tools (e.g., SysML, UPDM, LML) to analyze current software/system architectures and develop models and architectural guidelines for current and future system development.
Support integration activities of next-generation aviation platform systems, subsystems, components, and mission equipment into current and future DoD architectures within a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) compliant framework.
Partition large, complex weapon systems into an extensible hierarchy of subsystems, hardware/software elements, and functional allocations assigned across engineering teams.
Build, navigate, evaluate, and review MBSE \model of models\ environments, actively identifying architectural and design concerns related to the platform's MOSA strategy.
Review supplier/OEM architectural changes and baseline modifications for impacts to system modularity, extensibility, and openness.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Aerospace/Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline
Lead technical innovation and engineering for autonomous systems, driving development, integration, and flight testing of next‑generation uncrewed Launched Effects platforms.
Responsibilities
Drive hands‑on technical execution across vendor platforms from concept to range testing
Lead integration of edge AI compute, collaborative swarming algorithms, automated target recognition, and GPS‑denied navigation into uncrewed airframes
Enforce Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) standards
Monitor and manage vendor technical baselines, test schedules, and delivery milestones
Develop technical requirements for Statements of Work, Performance Work Statements, and Contract Requirements Packages
Requirements
Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Systems, or related field)
