This role is ideal for an early-career engineer with strong foundational skills and a desire to grow in a high-impact, fast-paced defense acquisition environment.

Responsibilities

• Support the execution of digital engineering activities across the acquisition lifecycle, including requirements analysis, modeling, and data integration.
• Assist in applying MBSE tools and methods (e.g., Cameo, SysML) to support program office use cases such as architecture modeling, risk analysis, and traceability.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of digital threads and digital twins in support of sustainment and system modernization.
• Leverage AI/ML tools and automation to improve documentation workflows and accelerate the generation of engineering artifacts.
• Engage with program offices to identify digital engineering capability gaps and recommend solutions aligned with acquisition strategies.
• Coordinate knowledge-sharing efforts through communities of practice, technical documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Review DoD and Army-level digital engineering policies, contributing to internal assessments and implementation strategies.
• Participate in industry engagement and tool evaluation to support enterprise engineering and architecture modernization.

Job Requirements

• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A current DoD Secret security clearance is required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo Enterprise Architect), SysML/UML, or architecture frameworks (e.g., DoDAF/UAF).
• Understanding of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and its role in aviation and defense acquisition.
• Experience with AI/ML libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn.
• Exposure to Army or DoD acquisition programs and lifecycle processes.
