What You'll Do
Plugin Development & Model Generation (70%)
- Develop and maintain Java-based plugin functionality for Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw
- Implement SysML model generation capabilities including Block Definition Diagrams, Internal Block Diagrams, and Activity Diagrams
- Build and maintain parsers and data models for structured JSON inputs that drive model generation
- Use and extend internal utility libraries wrapping modeling APIs for semantic and presentation element creation
- Collaborate with AI engineering teams to align plugin behavior with LLM output expectations and improve robustness of AI-assisted generation workflows
Collaboration & Quality (30%)
- Diagnose and resolve issues across UI, parsing, API integration, and backend generation logic
- Contribute to code quality improvements, validation logic, and testing strategy across multi-repository codebase
- Support iterative feature delivery and coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure plugin capabilities align with modeling workflows
What You'll Bring
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field
- 3+ years of professional Java development experience
- Experience designing and maintaining object-oriented systems in production codebases
- Strong proficiency with JSON parsing/serialization and schema-driven data models
- Ability to debug complex workflows across UI, parsing, API integration, and backend logic
- Experience integrating software with REST or HTTP-based APIs
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical teams
- Ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building plugins for Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, or similar modeling tools
- Familiarity with SysML, MBSE, and model-based engineering concepts
- Experience with modeling tool APIs, sessions/transactions, and diagram automation
- Experience with Eclipse-based plugin environments or JavaFX/Swing UI development
- Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into engineering workflows
