Model Systems Engineering information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Model Systems Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Model Systems Engineer, you need a strong background in systems engineering principles, mathematical modeling, and often a relevant degree in engineering or computer science. Familiarity with modeling tools like MATLAB/Simulink, SysML, and simulation software, as well as knowledge of systems engineering standards such as INCOSE certification, is typically required. Critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills set standout professionals apart in this field. These competencies ensure accurate system representations, effective collaboration, and successful project outcomes in complex engineering environments.

What is the difference between Model Systems Engineering vs Systems Engineer?

AspectModel Systems EngineeringSystems Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in engineering, certifications in systems modeling (e.g., INCOSE)Bachelor's or higher in engineering or related field, certifications vary
Work EnvironmentDesign and develop system models, simulations, and architectureDesign, analyze, and optimize complex systems in various industries
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily in aerospace, defense, and systems integration firmsWidely across technology, manufacturing, aerospace, and defense sectors

Model Systems Engineering focuses on creating detailed system models and simulations to analyze system behavior, while Systems Engineers oversee the entire system lifecycle, ensuring integration and functionality. Both roles require similar credentials but differ in scope and daily tasks.

How does a Model Systems Engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a project's lifecycle?

As a Model Systems Engineer, you will frequently work alongside software developers, hardware engineers, project managers, and quality assurance specialists to ensure that system models accurately reflect project requirements and constraints. Collaboration often involves participating in design reviews, integrating feedback, and updating system models to accommodate changes in project scope. Effective communication and the ability to translate technical details between different teams are crucial, as your models serve as the foundation for development and decision-making throughout the project. This collaborative environment fosters both technical and interpersonal growth, allowing you to develop a holistic understanding of complex systems.

What is Model Systems Engineering?

Model Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach that uses models to support the design, analysis, and management of complex engineering systems. It involves creating abstract representations (models) of systems to better understand their behavior, requirements, and interactions throughout the system's lifecycle. This approach helps engineers identify potential problems early, optimize system performance, and ensure that the final product meets its intended goals. Model Systems Engineering is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and software engineering.

Overview
Beyond New Horizons, LLC (BNH) has an exciting opportunity for a mid-career Control & Simulation Engineer, supporting TOS II, at AEDC in Arnold AFB, TN. The individual will be working as a member of the Engineering Solutions branch responsible for supporting the United States Air Force Test Operations and Sustainment efforts. The Engineering Solutions branch performs cutting-edge technology development work in support of the National Defense Strategy.
Open to internal and external candidates.
Job Summary
The successful candidate will be responsible for developing high-fidelity training simulators that emulate real-world facilities and their control systems. This role involves emulating existing PLC-based control system ladder logic and physics-based Simulink models and integrating them with HMI screens to create immersive and realistic training environments. The candidate will be responsible for leading efforts and mentoring junior engineers. This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer with a passion for both controls and simulation to make a significant impact.
Job Duties:
  • Develop, implement, and calibrate control models using MATLAB/Simulink to emulate and simulate industrial control logic.
  • Develop and implement physics-based models to support development of ground test facility simulators.
  • Architect and oversee the conversion of intricate ladder logic and PLC code into robust and efficient Simulink models.
  • Integrate control logic models with new or existing physics-based models of facility processes to create comprehensive system simulators.
  • Develop and configure interfaces between Simulink models and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) screens for realistic operator experience.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to gather requirements, define project scope, and ensure model accuracy.
  • Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including model design specifications, test plans, and validation results.
  • Support the testing and validation of simulators to ensure they meet performance and training objectives.
  • Lead project planning, define technical requirements, and act as a primary technical point of contact for cross-functional teams.
  • Mentor junior engineers, providing technical guidance and fostering their professional growth.
  • Develop and enforce best practices for model development, documentation, and version control.
  • Drive the troubleshooting of complex issues within the simulation environment and lead efforts to optimize model performance and fidelity.
  • Perform other related duties as required.
