Your Assignment: Systems Engineer

As a Systems Engineer at TheIncLab, you will be responsible for the analysis, design, integration, and modeling of complex systems-of-systems, working closely with both internal teams and government stakeholders. You will use Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles and tools like Cameo, MATLAB, Simulink, and AFSIM to address national security challenges by developing resilient systems architectures that integrate tactical networks, high-performance computing, command & control systems, data analytics, and unmanned autonomous systems.

You will collaborate with mission stakeholders to provide insights, evaluate alternative system architectures, and support key decision-making processes for defense and national security missions.

What will you do?

• Collaborate with system architects, engineers, and government customers to gather and analyze requirements for integrated systems, including tactical networks, unmanned autonomous systems, cloud systems, and data analytics platforms.
• Use MBSE methodologies and tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, SysML, MATLAB, Simulink, and AFSIM to design, simulate, and validate complex system architectures, ensuring interoperability across tactical, communications, software, and cloud domains.
• Evaluate and compare alternative system architectures using qualitative and quantitative methodologies, providing insights to inform decision-making.
• Identify and articulate major uncertainties within system architectures, devise strategies to mitigate risks, and capitalize on opportunities.
• Support requirements management, interface management, and architecture change management processes to ensure alignment with evolving mission needs.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders to engineer effective solutions to critical systems engineering challenges related to defense and national security.
• Communicate technical recommendations and system analyses clearly to customer and government partners.
• Travel up to 20% for system demonstrations and customer engagements.
