About The Position

JHNA is seeking a Systems Engineer with experience as a modeling practitioner for a Model-Based Systems Engineer initiative for PEO Aviation. This role will require on-site support in the Huntsville, AL area.
JHNA is a Digital Engineering firm focused on providing engineering and technical services primarily to DoD's Aviation communities. JHNA is a critical partner to these communities providing MBSE, MOSA, and platform security (cyber and anti-tamper) support. JHNA offers highly competitive benefit packages and a culture that fosters teamwork and collaboration all while supporting our Warfighter!
The System Engineers will perform systems engineering and technical management of development projects from the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later life cycle phases. The focus of the role will be implementing MBSE techniques to support Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial system architectures.
Design and develop MBSE solutions for new start programs and for the transformation of existing legacy systems using previously developed system engineering documentation.
Improve standardization and interoperability in a digitally integrated modeling environment while protecting Intellectual Property and classification data rights.
Develop and improve best practices for MBSE methodology and ontology associated with parametric analysis based on SysML modeling tools capability, customized project profiles, and advanced computational mathematical tools.
Develop and improve model viewpoint definitions specific to stakeholder needs based on MBSE methodology and ontology best practices. Included is the development of validation rules to ensure conformance to project modeling standards.
Develop, review, and adjudicate MBSE deliverables for internal and external stakeholders; identify models with capabilities that may be leveraged across the stakeholder's enterprise.
Support workforce development (internally and externally) by developing and delivering training material that captures the continual evolution of MBSE best practices and innovations.
