Aug 31, 2026
MTSI is seeking a Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) to support the Targets and Countermeasures program office of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). In this role, you will apply systems engineering principles within a digital engineering framework to create, analyze, and maintain system architecture models. You will collaborate with government leads, prime contractors, and cross-functional engineering teams to trace requirements, model behavioral and structural architectures, and support technical baseline reviews.
Job Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain descriptive system models using SysML to capture system behaviors, structure, interfaces, and operational requirements across MDA programs.
  • Map system-level and component-level requirements directly to architecture artifacts, ensuring end-to-end traceability, verification matrices, and baseline integrity.
  • Support the implementation of MDA Digital Engineering initiatives by linking MBSE models with external tools, simulations, and data repositories.
  • Assist in preparing and presenting model-centric artifacts for major program milestone reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR, CCBs).
  • Conduct architectural trade studies, analyze interface definition documents (IDDs/ICDs), and model system interfaces to identify gaps and resolve integration risks.
  • Maintain version control and configuration baseline compliance for SysML models in accordance with program data management standards.
Required Qualifications
  • US citizenship and an active DoD Secret clearance
  • Bachelor degree in a STEM discipline with 3+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with SysML (Systems Modeling Language) and core systems engineering frameworks (DoDAF, UAF).
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard MBSE modeling tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler / Cameo Enterprise Architect, MagicDraw, Sparx Enterprise Architect).
  • Ability to distill complex system architectures into clear, concise diagrams, technical documentation, and briefings for multidisciplinary stakeholders.
Desired Qualifications
  • Bachelor's in systems Engineer, Computer Science, or Software Engineering
  • 7+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs.
  • Experience supporting MDA programs (e.g., Targets and Countermeasures, Ground-Based Midcourse Defense, THAAD, Aegis BMD, or C2BMC).
  • OMG-Certified Systems Modeling Professional (OCSMP) certification (Fundamental, Intermediate, or Advanced).
  • Working knowledge of requirement management tools (e.g., DOORS, Cameo Requirements Plugin) and issue-tracking platforms (Jira, Confluence).
  • Experience integrating MBSE models with analytical/simulation environments (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or OpenMBEE).
  • Familiarity with DoD Systems Engineering processes, CDRLs, and technical baseline governance.
