Barbaricum provides advanced engineering and analytical support to Department of Defense customers across mission engineering, modeling and simulation, and system integration domains. Our teams support Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane in developing, integrating, and evaluating complex DoD platforms and mission systems operating across multiple domains.
We are seeking a Senior MBSE Engineer to support NSWC Crane by developing and maintaining authoritative system and mission models that inform platform architecture, hardware integration, interoperability, and kill-chain execution across operational scenarios, in direct support of test and evaluation activities.
The Senior MBSE Engineer applies Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies to complex DoD platforms and hardware-centric mission systems composed of sensors, payloads, communications, processing elements, and supporting software. This role supports platform architecture development, System Engineering Technical Reviews (SETR), and digital thread traceability from mission needs through system verification and validation, with emphasis on enabling and assessing end-to-end kill-chain performance, including EMSO-relevant capabilities.
Develop and maintain MBSE products supporting DoD platform architecture definition, mission engineering, and kill-chain analysis in support of SETR activities
Create and manage SysML/UML models capturing system requirements, functional behavior, physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and kill-chain functional threads
Generate SETR artifacts including platform architecture views, functional threads, interface definitions, kill-chain mappings, and verification mappings
Develop and manage MBSE meta-chain reporting templates supporting platform-level digital thread traceability, including kill-chain dependencies and performance drivers
Perform data management (DM) and configuration management (CM) of MBSE artifacts across model repositories
Integrate MBSE products with hardware-centric modeling, simulation, and analysis environments supporting kill-chain assessment
Support platform and mission assessments within Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) and operational test environments
Collaborate with hardware, software, integration, and test teams to ensure model fidelity, platform integration readiness, interoperability, and kill-chain coherence
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or STEM discipline from an ABET-accredited institution
7+ years of systems engineering experience supporting DoD platforms or hardware-intensive systems using MBSE
Expert knowledge of MBSE methodologies applied to platform-level and hardware-centric system architectures, including mission and kill-chain analysis
Proficiency with MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, Rational Rhapsody, DOORS, and Teamwork Cloud
Strong experience producing platform architecture and SETR artifacts
Experience with system-level requirements traceability, verification planning, and mission thread development
Experience supporting DoD platforms, mission systems, or hardware-centric defense programs with a kill-chain or mission-thread focus
Experience modeling physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and system integration boundaries impacting kill-chain performance
Familiarity with integrating MBSE products with platform development, integration, and test activities supporting end-to-end mission execution
