Cameo System Modeler Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Davidson is distinguished in the aerospace and missile defense industry, in part, because of its excellence in hiring exceptional experts, engineers and software developers dedicated to delivering advanced, intelligent technology solutions in defense of our nation.

Davidsons Warfighter Integration (WFI) team is standing up a Systems Engineering capability and is seeking an experienced Senior Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Systems Engineer in Fort Worth, Texas (This position is contingent upon funding) to help define how we engineer, model, and integrate the next generation of defense solutions. This is a rare opportunity to build digital engineering capabilities from the ground up while working on some of the DoW's most challenging integration problems.

Our team operates with a startup mentality inside the defense industry-fast-paced, mission-focused, and driven by technical excellence. You'll develop Cameo digital engineering models, create DoW systems engineering products, and collaborate with experts across software, hardware, AI, autonomy, data fusion, C2, embedded systems, and emerging technologies. No two projects are alike, and no two weeks look the same. If you thrive in an environment where you're constantly learning, solving new problems, and directly influencing the future of warfighter capabilities, you'll fit right in.
