Original job description

DESE's engineering teams support the design, development, and integration of advanced systems that are critical to our nation's defense. We're seeking a motivated Junior Systems Engineer to support system architecture development, requirements analysis, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) activities for complex missile defense systems.

This position offers an opportunity to contribute to mission-critical defense programs while working alongside experienced engineers and multidisciplinary teams. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical foundation, excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, and an interest in applying modern systems engineering practices to complex defense challenges.

Core Responsibilities:

Support the development and analysis of system architectures for complex missile defense applications.
Utilize Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and tools to develop, evaluate, and maintain system models and architecture artifacts.
Assist in performing functional decomposition, requirements allocation, and system architecture analysis.
Support trade studies and architectural evaluations to assess system performance, functionality, and integration impacts.
Analyze system-level architecture changes and their effects on functional and behavioral system requirements.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop system-of-systems requirements using system and component state studies and analysis.
Support the development and maintenance of interface requirements, including functional, performance, and interface specifications.
Assist in preparing technical documentation, engineering change notices, and system architecture artifacts.
Develop and deliver technical briefings, presentations, and supporting documentation for internal teams and government stakeholders.
Participate in engineering reviews, technical discussions, and collaborative problem-solving activities to support program objectives.

Minimum Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
Foundational understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements development, functional analysis, and system architecture.
Knowledge of system modeling, simulation, or engineering analysis concepts.
Ability to analyze complex technical information, identify relationships between system components, and support engineering evaluations.
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
Effective written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical information clearly.
Ability to work independently on assigned tasks while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
Active DoD Secret security clearance.

Highlighted Skills & Experience:

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE): Familiarity with MBSE methodologies, system architecture modeling, functional decomposition, and requirements allocation.
Systems Architecture: Understanding of system-of-systems architectures, functional and behavioral analysis, and architecture development for complex engineering applications.
Requirements Engineering: Experience developing, analyzing, documenting, or managing system-level and component-level requirements.
Engineering Analysis: Familiarity with trade studies, performance evaluations, system modeling, simulation, and architectural impact assessments.
Missile Defense Systems: Knowledge of ballistic missile defense concepts, including air combat, air defense, interceptors, missile targets, and associated defense systems.
Technical Domains: Familiarity with advanced flight systems, maneuvering vehicles, hypersonic systems, countermeasures, propulsion, and missile defense engagement concepts.
Defense System Architecture: Exposure to Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Aegis Weapon Systems, Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), hypersonic and ballistic tracking systems, or similar defense technologies.
System Integration: Understanding of radar, sensors, command and control, communications, and integrated defense system architectures.
Engineering Tools: Experience with Atlassian tools such as Jira and Confluence is beneficial.
Collaboration & Communication: Ability to coordinate technical information, contribute to engineering reviews, and communicate effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
Advanced Education: A Master's degree or PhD in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related discipline is beneficial.

Why This Role Matters:

You'll contribute to the engineering and development of sophisticated missile defense systems that help protect our nation. By supporting system architecture, requirements development, and advanced engineering analysis, you'll play a role in ensuring complex defense technologies work together effectively. This position provides the opportunity to grow your technical expertise, collaborate with experienced professionals, and contribute to meaningful solutions for national defense.
