What this job asks for AI summary
A senior-level systems engineering role focused on developing and maintaining model-based systems engineering (MBSE) artifacts — including SysML models, requirements, and design documentation — for ground-based airspace management software supporting autonomous aircraft. The position spans the full systems engineering lifecycle, with near-term emphasis on reaching Critical Design Review, and requires familiarity with aerospace certification standards such as ARP4754B. Some mentorship of junior engineers is expected.

Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is headquartered in Austin, TX and describes a hybrid preference, but the caller has declared this a fully-remote, national-pool role — metro has been left blank accordingly.
Systems Engineering is not a standard BLS computer/mathematical occupation; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest available code. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the requirements-analysis and architecture work, but the aerospace/safety-critical engineering context and MBSE focus push toward the broader catch-all.
The JD states two overlapping experience gates: '7+ years in a highly technical, aerospace-related industry' and '5+ years in a Systems Engineer position.' Total experience minimum is set to 7 years (the higher overall gate); the 5-year SE-specific requirement is captured in context.
Cameo Systems Modeler and MagicDraw are listed as interchangeable alternatives in the JD ('Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw') and are treated as a single requirement with MagicDraw in alternatives.
Polarion and DOORS appear under Preferred Qualifications and are treated as a single preferred requirement (interchangeable requirements management tools) with DOORS in alternatives.
DO-178C appears under Preferred Qualifications and is marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
