Digital Architecture & Modeling Engineer (Lead Associate)

Peraton is hiringLead Associate Digital Architecture & Modeling Engineersto help modernize the FAAs National Airspace System (NAS) under the BNATCS program. This role unifies Enterprise Architecture Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Modeling Analysis & Simulation (MA&S) into a single model-centric discipline.

Youll contribute to theDigital Engineering Environment (DEE) an authoritative model that ties mission needs operational concepts requirements capabilities systems interfaces infrastructure and verification evidence together. Architecture views CONOPS content interface descriptions and analyses are generatedfromthe model rather than authored as separate documents.

This is a growth-oriented position. Youll model in Cameo / MagicDraw using SysML and UAF run analysis against the model and translate results for FAA leadership program offices and engineers under the mentorship of senior architects.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to the Digital Engineering Environment (DEE) modeling current- transition- and target-state NAS architectures.
• Apply UAF SysML DoDAF and MBSE practices inCameo / MagicDraw and Teamwork Cloudto model capabilities systems services interfaces information exchanges and infrastructure.
• Supportmodel-based CONOPS mission threads and operational scenarios as authoritative model elements.
• Generate DoDAF / UAF views interface descriptions matrices and reports from the model using standardized queries and templates.
• Perform architecture analysis to identify dependencies gaps interface conflicts integration risks and mission impacts.
• Support model-based trade studies and analyses of alternatives.
• Contribute toreusable model libraries modeling conventions and model governance(baselines version control validation rules quality checks).
• Support integration with requirements-management tooling (e.g. Jama Connect or DOORS) to maintain traceability from needs architecture verification.
• Support Architecture Review Boards with model-based evidence.
• Produce technical writing documentation and records deliverables generated from or aligned to the model.
• Collaborate across cybersecurity software cloud telecom data test CM safety and program teams.
• Translate model-derived analysis into clear mission and business impacts for technical and executive audiences.
• Publish model content through Cameo Collaborator the DEE Digital Command Center dashboards and reports.
• Apply AI-assisted engineering techniques where appropriate with human oversight.

Required Qualifications

• 5 years with BS/BA; 9 years in lieu of a degree
• 4 years of hands-on experience in enterprise architecture systems engineering MBSE modeling & simulation or a closely related engineering discipline.
• 2 yearsof aviation FAA DoD or comparable mission-critical / safety-critical domain experience (roles may include systems engineering air traffic management piloting aviation operations / safety / risk or federal program support).
• Working proficiency modeling inCameo / MagicDraw(or equivalent Cameo Systems Modeler tooling) usingSysML and UAF.
• Working knowledge ofDoDAF UAF and SysML.
• Basic understanding of requirements engineering and the requirements architecture verification lifecycle.
• Familiarity with modern enterprise technology concepts (networking cybersecurity data cloud distributed systems).
• Proficiency with theMicrosoft Office Suite; working familiarity with theBusiness Intelligence Platforms(e.g. Microsoft Power BI Power Automate or Power Apps) or a comparable reporting / automation toolset.
• Strongtechnical writing editing and stakeholder-communicationskills.
• Records and documentation management skills.
• U.S. Citizenship. Currently holds or is able to obtain and maintain aPublic Trustclearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior FAA NAS FAA modernization or FAA program-office support experience.
• Aviation credentials: FAA airman certification (e.g. Private Pilot Commercial ATP) and/or Air Traffic Controller / Manager credentials or FAA Academy training.
• Masters degree in Systems Engineering Aeronautics Aviation Safety or related field.
• INCOSE CSEP / ESEP UAF SysML DoDAF or other Digital Engineering certification.
• Experience withCameo Teamwork Cloud Cameo Collaborator Cameo Report Wizard model validation rules custom profiles or model automation.
• Experience withJama Connect DOORS or comparable requirements-management tools and MBSE-to-requirements traceability.
• Experience withMATLAB / Simulink SimEvents Python AnyLogic or comparable analysis / simulation environments.
• Experience with discrete-event simulation Monte Carlo analysis capacity / performance modeling sensitivity analysis or system-of-systems simulation.
• Experience with digital twins and connecting operational telemetry to engineering models.
• Familiarity withAWSor other cloud-based modeling / simulation / analytics environments.
• Knowledge ofNIST RMF FedRAMP Zero Trust and federal cybersecurity considerations.
• Experience supporting Architecture Review Boards and EA governance.
• Experience developing model-based CONOPS or architecture descriptions generated from authoritative models.
