Your role will also involve interfacing with customers, troubleshooting, and conducting design reviews.

• Assist in defining system architectures, conducting trade studies, and overseeing system integration.
• Collaborate with project managers to manage technical tasks within schedule and budget constraints.
• Interface with internal and external customers to provide technical support and status updates.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams using tools like Jira and P6 Primavera.
• Monitor project performance using Earned Value Metrics (EVM) and act as a Cost Account Manager (CAM).
• Conduct major design reviews and provide real-time solutions to technical challenges.
• Travel domestically and internationally as needed to support project requirements.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in system design, integration, and engineering development, or a Master’s degree in a related technical discipline. 
• Strong understanding of MBSE principles and experience applying them to real-world projects.
• Familiarity with Agile project management methodologies and traditional waterfall milestones.
• Excellent communication skills and a proven track record of working in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
• U.S. Citizenship is required, and the ability to obtain a security clearance, if required.
• Certification in Systems Engineering (desired).
