Principal Model-Based Systems Engineer - AI Advancement

We are seeking a Lead Systems Engineer to join STC’s innovative and dynamic team. As a key member of our cross-functional software and AI team, you will play a pivotal role in the development of cloud-based AI applications designed to enable next-generation MBSE capabilities. Working alongside STC’s iMBSE Chief Engineer, you will focus on defining and evolving the AS-IS and TO-BE architecture for the Intelligent MBSE project. This position requires conducting comprehensive alternatives analyses, developing and maintaining system architectures, and ensuring robust requirements generation and validation in line with advanced digital engineering practices

You will also help advance agile processes, contribute to innovation through continuous improvement, and drive seamless, secure delivery of impactful solutions for both internal and external stakeholders. Occasional customer-facing technology demonstrations are also expected.

Core Responsibilities 

• • User Needs Elicitation
    • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize user needs for AI-enabled MBSE capabilities.
  • Analysis of Alternatives (AoA)
    • Perform trade space analyses and dependency evaluations based on user needs.
    • Develop an early capabilities roadmap informed by insights from AoA.
  • Requirements Development and Validation
    • Translate user requirements and AoA findings into actionable, verifiable, and validated system requirements.
    • Ensure that requirements are testable and develop initial test plans.
    • Maintain and manage requirements within Cameo Systems Modeler.
  • MBSE Architecture Development
    • Design, model, and maintain AS-IS and TO-BE system architectures using Cameo Systems Modeler.
    • Map requirements to system elements using model-based approaches.
    • Sustain the model as the iMBSE product evolves and ensure the model is always accurate as a decision resource.
  • MBSE Simulation and Analysis
    • Leverage MATLAB/Simulink to simulate iMBSE system dynamics and identify potential performance issues during the initial stages of the design lifecycle.
  • Stakeholder Engagement
    • Facilitate customer-facing demonstrations to showcase technology capabilities and support current contract execution and new business opportunities.
  • Continuous Improvement Initiatives
    • Stay up-to-date on advancements in MBSE tools, technologies, and best practices.
    • Champion the integration of innovative capabilities and process improvements to maintain technical excellence.
