• Proven experience in model-based systems engineering, preferably in the defense, aerospace, or security sectors.
• Proficiency in using MBSE tools such as Cameo, SysML, MATLAB, Simulink, MagicDraw, or similar.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles, processes, and standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 15288).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think analytically and critically.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Eligibility to obtain necessary security clearances.

Desired Skills:

• Experience with requirements management tools such as DOORS.
• Knowledge of software development and coding in languages such as Python, C++, or Java.
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
• Certification in systems engineering (e.g., INCOSE CSEP).

Due to the nature of this role you will need to have excellent team skills, be self-motivated, fast-learning and have the ability to prioritise and manage your own work with minimal guidance.
