Overview:
Bowhead is seeking a Mid-Level Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) to join our team that supports the Hypersonics Projectiles Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren.
In this role, you will apply model-based engineering techniques to design, develop, and analyze complex systems across multiple domains. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to create digital models, system architectures, and simulations that enhance system reliability, efficiency, and integration.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement model-based system engineering methodologies to support system design and development.
• Create and maintain system models, architectures, and digital twins using industry-standard tools (e.g., Innoslate, Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, Enterprise Architect).
• Define requirements, interfaces, and behaviors within a structured MBSE framework.
• Support trade studies, analysis, and validation to ensure design feasibility and effectiveness.
• Collaborate with engineering teams, stakeholders, and project managers to ensure model alignment with program objectives.
• Contribute to system integration, testing, and verification using model-based techniques.
• Document and communicate model findings, results, and recommendations through reports and presentations.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• 3-7 years of experience in model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
• Proficiency in MBSE tools such as Cameo, SysML, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles, requirements management, and digital modeling techniques.
• Experience with simulation, analysis, and trade studies for complex systems.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or technology sectors using MBSE methodologies.
• Knowledge of Model-Based Design (MBD), Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulations.
• Certification in INCOSE, MBSE, or Systems Engineering a plus.

Physical Demands:

• Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds
• Must be able to stand and walk for prolonged amounts of time
• Must be able to twist, bend and squat periodically

SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS: Must currently hold a security clearance at the Secret level. US Citizenship is a requirement for Secret clearance at this location.
