Systems Engineer

Summary

AM Pierce & Associates and Applied Technologies Group is a woman-owned small business providing engineering, research, cyber, C5ISR, and program and acquisition management services to government and industry clients. The Systems Engineer will support a U.S. Navy advanced technology development effort by helping multidisciplinary teams apply systems-engineering principles, develop system designs, and capture them in integrated SysML models. The role involves collaborating with engineers, software developers, analysts, operators, and government stakeholders while maintaining technical models and engineering artifacts.

Responsibilities

• Support the application of systems-engineering principles throughout technology development
• Work with senior systems engineers to plan and facilitate collaborative design activities
• Help multidisciplinary teams define system context, behavior, functions, architecture, interfaces, and requirements
• Contribute systems-level questions and analysis that connect decisions across engineering disciplines
• Help clarify technical objectives, assumptions, constraints, dependencies, and design decisions
• Identify potential gaps, inconsistencies, and unresolved dependencies for consideration by the systems-engineering team and technical stakeholders
• Capture the team's technical design and supporting rationale in an integrated system model
• Develop and maintain SysML models using Cameo Systems Modeler
• Represent operational context, system behavior, functional responsibilities, logical and physical structure, interfaces, requirements, and traceability
• Maintain consistency among the system model, technical discussions, analyses, and program decisions
• Apply established program modeling methods, patterns, conventions, and quality standards
• Coordinate with systems engineers, technical leads, and subject-matter experts to ensure the model accurately represents the evolving design
• Prepare models, diagrams, analyses, and other engineering artifacts for technical working sessions and reviews
• Communicate system concepts clearly to technical and program stakeholders
• Incorporate technical direction and review feedback into the system model and supporting artifacts

Skills

• Active Secret clearance with ability to obtain Top Secret
• Bachelor's degree (four-year degree) in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field
• Minimum of 5 (five) years of professional experience in relevant systems-engineering, system-architecture, design, integration, or technical-development experience
• Experience supporting multidisciplinary engineering or system-design activities
• Working knowledge of systems-engineering principles and practices
• Familiarity with model-based systems engineering and SysML
• Strong communication, collaboration, and technical-synthesis skills
• Ability to reason across system context, behavior, structure, interfaces, requirements, and design constraints
• Ability to work effectively within systems-engineering team and with technical specialists from multiple disciplines
• Ability to apply established modeling methods and conventions
• Ability to organize complex information and represent it clearly through models, diagrams, and written material
• Experience using Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, or a comparable SysML modeling environment
• Experience supporting Department of Defense or U.S. Navy technology-development programs
• Experience with software-intensive, distributed, simulation, or system-of-systems architectures
• Experience with behavioral modeling, functional decomposition, interface definition, requirements traceability, or architecture development
• Familiarity with software development, data architecture, simulation environments, or digital-engineering practices
• Experience participating in technical working sessions or system-level design reviews
• Experience with System-of-Systems integration, LVC environments, and interoperability
