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.

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 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.

Job description

JOB SUMMARY:

The Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) applies an interdisciplinary engineering approach to 'whole system' design by defining requirements, analysis, verification, and validation with modeling and simulation tools using industry best standards, in place of the documentation used for traditional Systems Engineering.  Applies Systems Engineering principles as defined by the Warfighting Acquisition University (WARU) Systems Engineering Process Model to a system throughout its life cycle, from development through production, deployment, training support, operation, and disposal--as defined by customer requirements.

Applies a logical sequence of activities and decisions that transforms an operational need into a description of system performance parameters and a preferred system configuration. The Model-Based Systems Engineer works together with project managers and the engineering team to ensure that design work aligns with customer requirements in a way that can be verified early in the design process. The MBSE also works through each phase of the given system and process, from plan along with expansion to validation and operation, on measurable risk assessment, regularly concentrating on performance, testing, scheduling, and budgets.

The MBSE uses a digital engineering approach to develop a system-of-systems model that serves as the authoritative source of truth during design, development, sustainment and retirement of a system.  The Model-Based Systems Engineer is also central to the development of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) requirements and design.  

This role satisfies Defense program contractual requirements which are referenced in the WARU Systems Engineering Guidebook

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • ModelBased Systems Engineering & Architecture

    • Develop, integrate, and maintain SysMLv2based system architectures using tools such as CAMEO to support requirements definition, behavioral modeling, interface design, and system verification.

    • Train coworkers on CAMEO best practices to promote standardization and efficiency.

    • Establish and manage a persistent digital thread that links requirements, architectures, design data, analyses, simulations, verification artifacts, and configuration baselines.

    • Create and evolve digital twin models to support performance prediction, design trades, reliability assessments, and simulationbased decision making.

    • Apply Warfighting Acquisition University (WARU) Systems Engineering Fundamentals and Systems Engineering Guidebook throughout the system life cycle, ensuring disciplined and compliant engineering processes.

  • Requirements Development & Management

    • Translate customer needs, mission objectives, concept of operations (CONOPS), and stakeholder expectations into measurable system and performance requirements.

    • Use MBSE tools to maintain requirements traceability from toplevel mission needs down to subsystem specifications and test objectives.

    • Ensure FAA, MIL-HDBK 516, Foreign Military Airworthiness Authorities, and other certification requirements are integrated into models, requirement sets, and verification plans.

    • Manage requirements database for all projects using IBM DOORS requirements database. 

    • Document requirements in aircraft requirements documents, system requirements documents, and performance specifications.  Includes but not limited to:

      • Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP)
