This is a growth-oriented position. You'll model in Cameo / MagicDraw using SysML and UAF, run analysis against the model, and translate results for FAA leadership, program offices, and engineers — under the mentorship of senior architects.
Key Responsibilities
Contribute to the Digital Engineering Environment (DEE), modeling current-, transition-, and target-state NAS architectures.
Apply UAF, SysML, DoDAF, and MBSE practices in Cameo / MagicDraw and Teamwork Cloud to model capabilities, systems, services, interfaces, information exchanges, and infrastructure.
Support model-based CONOPS, mission threads, and operational scenarios as authoritative model elements.
Generate DoDAF / UAF views, interface descriptions, matrices, and reports from the model using standardized queries and templates.
Perform architecture analysis to identify dependencies, gaps, interface conflicts, integration risks, and mission impacts.
Support model-based trade studies and analyses of alternatives.
Contribute to reusable model libraries, modeling conventions, and model governance (baselines, version control, validation rules, quality checks).
Support integration with requirements-management tooling (e.g., Jama Connect or DOORS) to maintain traceability from needs → architecture → verification.
Support Architecture Review Boards with model-based evidence.
Produce technical writing, documentation, and records deliverables generated from or aligned to the model.
Collaborate across cybersecurity, software, cloud, telecom, data, test, CM, safety, and program teams.
Translate model-derived analysis into clear mission and business impacts for technical and executive audiences.
Publish model content through Cameo Collaborator, the DEE Digital Command Center, dashboards, and reports.
Apply AI-assisted engineering techniques where appropriate, with human oversight.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
5 years with BS/BA; 9 years in lieu of a degree
4+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise architecture, systems engineering, MBSE, modeling & simulation, or a closely related engineering discipline.
2+ years of aviation, FAA, DoD, or comparable mission-critical / safety-critical domain experience (roles may include systems engineering, air traffic management, piloting, aviation operations / safety / risk, or federal program support).
Working proficiency modeling in Cameo / MagicDraw (or equivalent Cameo Systems Modeler tooling) using SysML and UAF.
Working knowledge of DoDAF, UAF, and SysML.
Basic understanding of requirements engineering and the requirements → architecture → verification lifecycle.
Familiarity with modern enterprise technology concepts (networking, cybersecurity, data, cloud, distributed systems).
Proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite; working familiarity with the Business Intelligence Platforms (e.g. Microsoft Power BI, Power Automate, or Power Apps) or a comparable reporting / automation toolset.
Strong technical writing, editing, and stakeholder-communication skills.
Records and documentation management skills.
U.S. Citizenship. Currently holds, or is able to obtain and maintain, a Public Trust clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior FAA NAS, FAA modernization, or FAA program-office support experience.
Aviation credentials: FAA airman certification (e.g., Private Pilot, Commercial, ATP) and/or Air Traffic Controller / Manager credentials or FAA Academy training.
Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Aeronautics, Aviation Safety, or related field.
INCOSE CSEP / ESEP, UAF, SysML, DoDAF, or other Digital Engineering certification.
Experience with Cameo Teamwork Cloud, Cameo Collaborator, Cameo Report Wizard, model validation rules, custom profiles, or model automation.
Experience with Jama Connect, DOORS, or comparable requirements-management tools and MBSE-to-requirements traceability.
Experience with MATLAB / Simulink, SimEvents, Python, AnyLogic, or comparable analysis / simulation environments.
Experience with discrete-event simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, capacity / performance modeling, sensitivity analysis, or system-of-systems simulation.
Experience with digital twins and connecting operational telemetry to engineering models.
Familiarity with AWS or other cloud-based modeling / simulation / analytics environments.
Knowledge of NIST, RMF, FedRAMP, Zero Trust, and federal cybersecurity considerations.
Experience supporting Architecture Review Boards and EA governance.
Experience developing model-based CONOPS or architecture descriptions generated from authoritative models.
