ARS is seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Engineer to support advanced system modeling efforts with a focus on enabling seamless integration between SysMLv2 models and Air Force modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) environments. The ideal candidate will have experience in digital engineering, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and working knowledge of simulation frameworks such as AFSIM and Coliseum.
Why Work with us?
Applied Research Solutions (ARS) is respected as a world-class provider of technically integrated solutions as we deliver premier talent and technology across our focused markets for unparalleled, continuous mission support. Awarded a Best Places to Work nominee since 2020, ARS recognizes that without our career- driven, loyal professionals, we would not be able to deliver state-of-the-art results for our mission partners.

We provide a culture where our employees are challenged to meet their career goals and aspirations, while still obtaining a work/life balance. ARS employees are motivated through our industry competitive benefits package, our awards and recognition program, and personalized attention from ARS Senior Managers. Responsibilities include:
- Model Enrichment for Simulation Integration
- Collaborate with systems engineers and simulation developers to enrich SysMLv2 models with necessary metadata, schemas, and structured data elements to enable integration with MS&A tools, particularly AFSIM and Coliseum.
- Define, document, and apply modeling patterns and standards that support traceability and fidelity required for simulation use cases.
- Tool Development for Model Export
- Lead the development of a SysMLv2-based utility or plugin that supports the export of model data into simulation-compatible formats, specifically targeting frameworks such as AFSIM and Coliseum.
- Work with MBSE and simulation tool stakeholders to define export schemas, intermediate representations, and transformation rules.
- Framework Integration Support
- Provide technical support for integrating enriched SysMLv2 models with additional external frameworks, tools, or simulation environments.
- Facilitate interface definitions and data exchange standards to promote interoperability and reuse of model content across diverse platforms.
- Other duties as assigned
Qualifications/ Technical Experience Requirements:
Required:
- Must be a US citizen
- Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field; Master's preferred
- 3+ years of experience in model-based systems engineering (MBSE) with hands-on experience using SysML (preferably SysMLv2).
- Experience with at least one modeling tool supporting SysMLv2 (e.g., MBSE tools in development or pilot use).
- Familiarity with Department of Defense simulation frameworks such as AFSIM and/or Coliseum.
- Experience in data modeling, schema development, or tool integration.
- Proficient in one or more programming/scripting languages (e.g., Python, Java, or similar) used in tool development or automation.
Desired:
- Experience with digital thread/digital twin initiatives in defense or aerospace contexts.
- Knowledge of systems architecture, mission engineering, or enterprise-level modeling.
- Familiarity with government acquisition processes or standards such as DoDAF, UAF, or MIL-STD-881.
- Understanding of XML, JSON, or other structured data formats and their application in model transformation.
