At MITRE, your passion fuels work that impacts our nation and improves lives. This is where your skills strengthen national security, cybersecurity, health, transportation, and citizen services. We're a nonprofit engineering, applied research, and advanced technology organization working in the public interest. With objectivity and integrity at our core, we lead federally funded research and development centers for U.S. government agencies – collaborating with industry and academia to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions that advance our nation's health, security, and prosperity. Our people tackle the toughest technical challenges, supported by competitive benefits, meaningful career development, and a culture of innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. Choose MITRE for a career with purpose — and help shape the future.

MITRE Technology and Engineering's Systems Engineering Division delivers innovative, multidisciplinary systems engineering solutions that support MITRE and its diverse sponsor base, and is a leader across government, industry, and academia in advancing next-generation systems engineering. The division's technical expertise spans mission, enterprise, and domain engineering; systems engineering, architecting, and lifecycle integration; digital engineering, prototyping, and modernization; architecture, interfaces, and open systems; performance analysis, test, and evaluation; and AI-enabled systems engineering. MITRE is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to apply and grow this expertise in support of the design, implementation, and integration of enterprise systems and systems-of-systems, and the analysis of missions for federal agencies.

Roles & Responsibilities:

– Applying your systems and mission engineering expertise, with awareness of sponsor needs, to identify and shape areas where MITRE can have significant impact.

– Applying modern methods and tools — such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Digital Engineering, Mission Engineering, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics — to assess capability needs, requirements, architectures, designs, performance constraints and gaps, proposed changes, and verification and test approaches.

– Evaluating and comparing alternative architectures using qualitative and quantitative techniques and exploring large tradespaces, while articulating major uncertainties and the associated risks and opportunities.

– Identifying or developing metrics to measure and analyze relevant system properties, such as robustness, resiliency, interoperability, quality, and maintainability.

– Leading requirements management and analysis, interface management, architecture development and change management, and test and evaluation processes.

– Performing system design and development, systems modernization, and architecture activities using MBSE and digital engineering approaches.

– Translating analysis results into actionable recommendations for U.S. Government agencies and providing technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.

Basic Qualifications:

– Minimum of 5 years of experience in systems engineering and enterprise architecture with a Bachelor's degree; or 3 years of experience with a Master's degree; or a PhD with relevant experience; or an equivalent combination of related education and work experience

– Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline

– Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Top Secret U.S Government issued Security Clearance. Per the U.S. Government's eligibility requirements, you must be a U.S Citizen to be considered for a security clearance.

– This position requires a minimum of 4 days a week on-site

Preferred Qualifications:

– Active TS/SCI clearance

– Advanced degree in a relevant technical field

– Broad systems engineering experience across concept development, requirements, architecture, design, test, evaluation, and risk assessment

– Proficiency with modern systems and digital engineering tools and methods (e.g., MBSE, SysML/UML, DOORS, Cameo/MagicDraw, Rhapsody), including model integration and plugin development

– Strong quantitative and analytical skills using programming and analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Mathematica, Python, R, AFSIM, STK, Command PE) for multi-level modeling, simulation, and operational effectiveness analyses

– Proven ability to operate in complex systems-of-systems environments, objectively evaluate vendor solutions, and apply technical skills across multiple domains

– Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted advisor relationships and clearly convey complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders
