JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

We are searching for experienced, motivated, and driven Systems Engineers with experience in executing model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methods and tools to join our Systems Engineering Department at the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Penn State University. ARL’s purpose is to research and develop innovative solutions to challenging scientific, engineering, and technology problems in support of the Navy, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Intel Community (IC).  This department's focus is on tailoring and applying rigor to the systems engineering process in order to support realization of systems that advance technologies within the undersea systems domain.  You will have the opportunity to operate across the entire life cycle of undersea systems, from conceptual development into design and test, production, and sustainment of fielded systems.

ARL is an authorized DoD SkillBridge partner and welcomes all transitioning military members to apply.

You will:

• Apply model based systems engineering to the development of complex systems: customer needs analysis, requirements development, systems architecture and concept development, analysis of alternatives, system and requirements decomposition, detailed design processes, systems and process modeling, systems integration and test, verification planning and execution
• Tailor systems engineering processes and techniques to a wide range of technology development activities that span the development life-cycle from early technology innovation to formal acquisition
• Collaborate with Systems Engineering and Subsystem Design Teams to learn the design and operation of our undersea systems
• Interact and collaborate regularly with the engineering team, program management, program sponsors and other stakeholders

Additional responsibilities for higher level positions includes:

• Organize and direct a multi-disciplinary, strong, and diverse engineering team
• Provide technical leadership within the division programs

These positions can be filled as a Level 2, 3, or 4, depending on your education and experience.  Typical requirements include a Bachelor’s Degree in an Engineering or Science discipline; 2+ years related experience for a Level 2.  Additional experience and/or education are required for higher level positions.

Required skills/experience areas include:

• Demonstrated experience with digital engineering methodologies, to include Model-Based Systems Engineering
• Appl
