Description

Description TDI Technologies, Inc. (TDI) is seeking candidates for a Model Based Systems Engineering position supporting Research and Development in Code 32 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division. This position will work with acquisition program managers, engineers, technical specialists, and subject matter experts (SMEs), supporting multiple MBSE and M&S efforts at NSWCPD. The successful candidate will develop prototype digital models of software systems and mechanical and electrical systems, address design tradeoffs and integration challenges, and support validation and verification of requirements. Focus will be on enhanced model definition and alignment, improved communication and collaboration, leveraging lessons learned, and supporting an integrated workforce within the organization. This position will require experience in Model Based Systems Engineering methods and understanding of cloud-based enterprise software architectures, and use of modeling software such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Cameo System Modeler. Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, ID Theft Protection, Prepaid Legal, Pet Insurance, 401K, Tuition Reimbursement, Professional Development, Paid Vacation, Paid Holiday, and Paid Sick Leave Principal Duties/Responsibilities: 1. Model Development and Analysis: Develop real-time and non-real-time system models for Integrated Power Systems (IPS) design analyses. Support the integration of component models (e.g., power components, supervisory control, HM&E systems) into IPS system models. Perform IPS design analyses and generate detailed reports summarizing findings. 2. Requirements Modeling: Support the development of requirements models, logical and physical models, verification and validation (V&V) models, and parametric models using tools like Cameo Systems Modeler. Ensure models accurately reflect system designs and incorporate updates as needed. 3. System Simulation and Tradespace Analysis: Develop tools for tradespace evaluation, including utility functions, and perform analyses to support design decisions. Create system model components to capture engineering studies of complex HM&E systems. 4. Frameworks and Ontologies: Research and apply relevant frameworks, schemas, and data dictionaries to capture essential dynamics of ship systems. Contribute to the development of shipboard HM&E ontologies and schemas. 5. Coding and Tool Development: Develop or modify computer code in languages such as Java, Python, or similar to support modeling and simulation needs. Create tools to interface with product lifecycle models and support critical milestones. 6. Collaboration with Design Teams: Collaborate with design teams to finalize IPS design analyses and study guides. Brief analysis results to design working groups and stakeholders, including SEA05Z technical discussions. 7. Risk Management Support: Support risk reduction efforts by preparing briefs for stakeholders and participating in Risk Management Board (RMB) meetings. Develop schedules for design analyses and integrate them within the IPS M&S schedule. 8. Workforce Development: Provide technical training and guidance on electric machine fundamentals, power electronics, and IPS design and testing plans. Review DDG1000 CDRLs and other technical documentation to support workforce development. 9. Stakeholder Communication: Present design analysis status at Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Working Group meetings. Support technical discussions and respond to requests from stakeholders such as PMS460, TWH, IPS PAPM, SSDM, and TD. 10. Data Deliverables: Prepare and submit technical reports, contract status reports, travel reports, and personnel rosters in accordance with CDRL requirements. 11. Schedule Development: Develop and maintain schedules for system model creation and analysis reports, ensuring alignment with program milestones. 12. Travel and On-Site Support: Participate in CONUS travel to support program needs, including briefings and technical discussions. Requirements Education and Experience Requirements: 1.
