Associate / Staff Digital Systems Engineer

SciTec, a wholly owned subsidiary of Firefly Aerospace, is a dynamic non-traditional defense contractor that delivers advanced technologies in support of U.S. National Security. For over forty-five years, we have supported Department of Defense customers by developing innovative remote sensing algorithms, tools, and techniques to deliver world-class data exploitation capabilities supporting missile defense; intelligence, surveillance, & reconnaissance; space domain awareness; and aircraft survivability missions. 

Important Notice: SciTec exclusively works on U.S. government contracts that require U.S. citizenship for all employees. SciTec cannot sponsor or assume sponsorship of employee work visas of any type. Further, U.S. citizenship is a requirement to obtain and keep a security clearance. Applicants that do not meet these requirements will not be considered. 

SciTec has an immediate opportunity in our Boulder, CO office for an Associate / Staff Digital System Engineer (MBSE Focus) with experience in modeling requirements, use cases, interfaces, and system architectures using model-based systems engineering tools. This engineer will be responsible for developing system models to support the development of a combined hardware/software data processing system. This work will be performed collaboratively with both customer representatives and with SciTec technical staff. 

Responsibilities 

• Develop digital models of operational concepts and stakeholder needs for the operation of a MOSA architecture hosting high-performance data processing applications. 

• Model and support the analysis of system requirements which address identified stakeholder needs. 

• Deliver digital modeling artifacts which support to SciTec development teams in the development of an integrated hardware/software solution. 

• Deliver digital modeling artifacts which support documentation of the system architecture, requirements, verification status, and development roadmap 

• Additional duties as required and assigned 

• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance 
• A Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM discipline. 
• Demonstrated experience in model-based systems engineering using SysML 1.x, either via academic coursework or professional experience. 
• Familiarity with IEEE 15288 systems engineering processes 

Candidates who have any of the following skills will be preferred 

• At least 2 years of relevant work experience in model based systems engineering. 

• Experience with systems modeling using the Cameo family of applications. 

• Prior experience in software engineering, high-performance computing, or remote sensing data processing 

• A current security clearance, ideally a current TOP SECRET clearance with eligibility for Sensitive Compartmented Information 

• Academic credentials or industry certification (e.g. INCOSE) in systems engineering. 

• Experience with the integration of model-based systems engineering tools with other information systems. 

• Experience with developing scripting, integration tools, and domain-specific languages (stereotypes) to enhance systems modeling capabilities. Software development experience is a plus. 

• Experience with the development and use of DoDAAF, UAF, or SysML 2 models. 

• Experience with formal modeling methods other than SysML, such as TLA+. 

• Experience with conducting data-driven trade studies, including the development and use of simulation tools.
