Intermediate Systems Engineer

MITRE is seeking an Intermediate Systems Engineer to support federal agencies with the design, implementation, and integration of enterprise systems and systems-of-systems. The role applies systems and mission engineering methods to assess requirements and architectures, compare alternatives, analyze system performance, and provide actionable recommendations.

Responsibilities

Applying your systems and mission engineering expertise to sponsor needs

Applying modern methods and tools — such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Digital Engineering, Mission Engineering, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics — to assess capability needs, requirements, architectures, designs, performance constraints and gaps, proposed changes, and verification and test approaches

Evaluating and comparing alternative architectures using qualitative and quantitative techniques and exploring large tradespaces, while articulating major uncertainties and the associated risks and opportunities

Identifying or developing metrics to measure and analyze relevant system properties, such as robustness, resiliency, interoperability, quality, and maintainability

Performing requirements management and analysis, interface management, architecture development and change management, and test and evaluation processes

Performing system design and development, systems modernization, and architecture activities using MBSE and digital engineering approaches

Translating analysis results into actionable recommendations for U.S. Government agencies

Preferred

Active TS/SCI clearance

Systems engineering experience across concept development, requirements, architecture, design, test, evaluation, and risk assessment

Proficiency with modern systems and digital engineering tools and methods (e.g., MBSE, SysML/UML, DOORS, Cameo/MagicDraw, Rhapsody), including model integration and plugin development

Strong quantitative and analytical skills using programming and analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Mathematica, Python, R, AFSIM, STK, Command PE) for multi-level modeling, simulation, and operational effectiveness analyses

Proven ability to operate in complex systems-of-systems environments, objectively evaluate vendor solutions, and apply technical skills across multiple domains

Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted advisor relationships and clearly convey complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders
