• Manage collaborative model development using Cameo Teamwork Cloud.
• Establish and maintain traceability between system requirements and model artifacts using Cameo.
• Review models developed by other engineers for quality, consistency, completeness, and adherence to established modeling practices.
• Support the development, documentation, and implementation of MBSE modeling standards, processes, and best practices.
• Collaborate with systems engineers, software engineers, and other technical disciplines to translate engineering requirements and concepts into structured system models.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to engineers adopting MBSE practices and modeling tools.
• Support customer technical meetings, engineering reviews, demonstrations, and capability briefings as required.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes through expanded use of MBSE, modeling, simulation, and digital engineering practices.
