Northrop Grumman Space Systems is seeking a Systems Engineer - Level 3 or 4 with a focus on ModelBased Systems Engineering (MBSE), located in Chandler, Arizona.

The MBSE Systems Engineer is responsible for using Cameo to capture and maintain the system architecture and ensuring robust requirements traceability between the Cameo system model and the baseline requirements in DOORS. This role serves as a key integrator between traditional requirementsbased systems engineering and modelbased representations, enabling consistent, traceable, and analyzable system definitions.

This position is 100% on site in Chandler, AZ.

Salary Level 3: $98,400 - $147,600

Salary Level 4: $122,800 - $184,200

Key Responsibilities

System Architecture Modeling (Cameo)

• Develop and maintain systemlevel and subsystemlevel models in Cameo, including structural, behavioral, and interface views.

• Capture system functions, interfaces, states, and data flows in the model to reflect the authoritative system architecture.

• Support architecture trade studies by representing alternatives in the model and coordinating with stakeholders to assess impacts.

Requirements Traceability (Cameo DOORS)

• Establish and maintain traceability between DOORS requirements and Cameo model elements (e.g., blocks, activities, interfaces).

• Implement and maintain links, stereotypes, and relationships that support bidirectional traceability and impact analysis.

• Regularly reconcile the Cameo model with the DOORS requirement baseline, ensuring consistency after requirement changes or model updates.

Model & Requirements Integration

• Collaborate with systems engineers and domain leads to ensure that the Cameo model accurately reflects allocated requirements, interfaces, and constraints.

• Support definition and refinement of modeling conventions, naming standards, and modeling patterns to align with program and enterprise MBSE practices.

• Generate modelbased views, reports, and dashboards (from Cameo) that support design reviews, requirements reviews, and stakeholder communication.

Review & Configuration Support

• Support technical reviews (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR) by providing architecture views and traceability evidence from Cameo and DOORS.

• Assist in the configuration management of the system model and associated requirement artifacts, ensuring proper version control and baselining.

• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or ambiguities in the architecture or requirements trace and propose corrective actions.

CrossTeam Collaboration & Training

• Work closely with systems, software, and hardware teams to ensure model content supports their planning and analysis needs.

• Provide guidance to other engineers on how to interpret and use the model and its traceability information.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of MBSE processes, tooling, and best practices on the program.

This position may be offered at the Principal Level 3 or Sr. Principal Level 4

Basic Qualifications - Level 3

• BS in Engineering or related STEM discipline with a minimum of 5 years of related experience, or

• MS in Engineering or related STEM discipline with 3 years of related experience.

Basic Qualifications - Level 4

• BS in Engineering or related STEM discipline with a minimum of 8 years of related experience, or

• MS in Engineering or related STEM discipline with 6 years of related experience.

Common Basic Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizenship is required.

• Must have the ability to obtain a U.S. Government DoD Secret security clearance.

• Handson experience using Cameo (or similar SysMLbased MBSE tool) to develop and maintain system models.

• Experience with requirements management using IBM DOORS (or equivalent), including establishing and maintaining traceability.

• Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and author systemlevel requirements and translate them into model elements.

• Strong analytical and problemsolving skills with attention to detail.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to present modelbased views and traceability to diverse technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience applying MBSE on spacecraft, launch vehicle, missile, or other complex aerospace/defense systems.

• Working knowledge of SysML and common MBSE patterns (e.g., functional decomposition, interface modeling, statebased behaviors).

• Experience integrating Cameo with DOORS or similar toolchains (e.g., OSLC, data synchronization, or report generation).

• Familiarity with Systems Engineering fundamentals such as requirements management, verification planning, and designreview execution.

• Willingness to work on fastpaced development programs.

• Ability to travel, if required, to support offsite reviews or technical working sessions.

• Experience leading MBSE tasks or acting as an MBSE focal/SME within an IPT.
