Description
Are you passionate about applying digital engineering tools and techniques to revolutionize how complex systems are designed and developed?
Are you a systems thinker with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) experience that wants to help ensure our nation's tactical weapons are superior to near peer adversaries?
If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.
We are seeking a highly motivated Systems Engineer to help us develop and apply digital engineering tools and processes, such as model based systems engineering (MBSE), throughout the system engineering lifecycle. Our Tactical Weapons Systems Engineering group works closely with the Air Force, Navy, and DARPA to help them engineer, model, and analyze performance of complex tactical weapon systems (including cutting-edge hypersonics) that are critical in deterring our adversaries. As a member of our team, you'll represent APL to provide MBSE and digital engineering expertise to help our DoD customers make critical design and acquisition decisions that will ensure our nation's preeminent long range tactical weapons meet warfighter needs.
