(MBSE) Model- Based Systems Engineer

About the Role

The Modeling‑Based Systems Engineer will support RETS and work independently or within a multi‑disciplined team. Responsibilities include impartial program assessments, policy reviews for Space Force acquisition, impact analysis of national and DoD directives, and development of integrated baselines that capture architecture, performance, cost and milestones. The role also analyzes system‑of‑systems requirements, identifies integration opportunities across space and non‑space domains, collaborates with external engineering groups, and provides technical and acquisition support for senior‑level decision forums and budget planning. • Provide impartial assessments of programs at key decision points and address contractor technical/operational issues. • Review and recommend Space Force acquisition policies and evaluate their implementation. • Analyze the impact of national, DoD, JCS, and civil policies on Space Force programs. • Develop and maintain integrated baselines covering architecture, performance, cost, and milestones. • Examine system‑of‑systems requirements, needs, and capabilities. • Identify integration opportunities across space, cyber, terrestrial, maritime, and air domains. • Collaborate with external systems engineering organizations and support senior‑leader decision forums. • Deliver planning, programming, and budgeting expertise to align program submissions with policy and architecture. • Support assessment of DoD budget submissions and advise on capability gaps and overlaps.
