Barbaricum is a rapidly growing government contractor providing leading-edge support to federal customers, with a particular focus on Defense and National Security mission sets. We leverage more than 17 years of support to stakeholders across the federal government, with established and growing capabilities across Intelligence, Analytics, Engineering, Mission Support, and Communications disciplines. Founded in 2008, our mission is to transform the way our customers approach constantly changing and complex problem sets by bringing to bear the latest in technology and the highest caliber of talent.

Headquartered in Washington, DC's historic Dupont Circle neighborhood, Barbaricum also has a corporate presence in Tampa, FL, Bedford, IN, and Dayton, OH, with team members across the United States and around the world. As a leader in our space, we partner with firms in the private sector, academic institutions, and industry associations with a goal of continually building our expertise and capabilities for the benefit of our employees and the customers we support. Through all of this, we have built a vibrant corporate culture diverse in expertise and perspectives with a focus on collaboration and innovation. Our teams are at the frontier of the Nation's most complex and rewarding challenges. Join our team.

Barbaricum provides advanced engineering and analytical support to Department of Defense customers across mission engineering, modeling and simulation, and system integration domains. Our teams support Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane in developing, integrating, and evaluating complex DoD platforms and mission systems operating across multiple domains.

We are seeking a Senior MBSE Engineer to support NSWC Crane by developing and maintaining authoritative system and mission models that inform platform architecture, hardware integration, interoperability, and kill-chain execution across operational scenarios, in direct support of test and evaluation activities.

## The Role

The Senior MBSE Engineer applies Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies to complex DoD platforms and hardware-centric mission systems composed of sensors, payloads, communications, processing elements, and supporting software. This role supports platform architecture development, System Engineering Technical Reviews (SETR), and digital thread traceability from mission needs through system verification and validation, with emphasis on enabling and assessing end-to-end kill-chain performance, including EMSO-relevant capabilities.

## Responsibilities

- Develop and maintain MBSE products supporting DoD platform architecture definition, mission engineering, and kill-chain analysis in support of SETR activities

- Create and manage SysML/UML models capturing system requirements, functional behavior, physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and kill-chain functional threads

- Generate SETR artifacts including platform architecture views, functional threads, interface definitions, kill-chain mappings, and verification mappings

- Develop and manage MBSE meta-chain reporting templates supporting platform-level digital thread traceability, including kill-chain dependencies and performance drivers

- Perform data management (DM) and configuration management (CM) of MBSE artifacts across model repositories

- Integrate MBSE products with hardware-centric modeling, simulation, and analysis environments supporting kill-chain assessment

- Support platform and mission assessments within Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) and operational test environments

- Collaborate with hardware, software, integration, and test teams to ensure model fidelity, platform integration readiness, interoperability, and kill-chain coherence

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or STEM discipline from an ABET-accredited institution

- Active DoD Secret (Top Secret/SCI preferred)

- 7+ years of systems engineering experience supporting DoD platforms or hardware-intensive systems using MBSE

- Expert knowledge of MBSE methodologies applied to platform-level and hardware-centric system architectures, including mission and kill-chain analysis

- Proficiency with MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, Rational Rhapsody, DOORS, and Teamwork Cloud

- Strong experience producing platform architecture and SETR artifacts

- Experience with system-level requirements traceability, verification planning, and mission thread development

Desired Qualifications

- Experience supporting DoD platforms, mission systems, or hardware-centric defense programs with a kill-chain or mission-thread focus

- Experience modeling physical architectures, hardware interfaces, and system integration boundaries impacting kill-chain performance

- Familiarity with integrating MBSE products with platform development, integration, and test activities supporting end-to-end mission execution
