MBSE Engineer at KBR in Okinawa, Okinawa, Japan

MBSE Engineer Location: Okinawa, Okinawa, Japan Title: MBSE Engineer Justification The Senior Digital Engineering position is required to support the development, implementation, and sustainment of a scalable Digital Engineering Environment (DEE) that enables standardized, model-based systems engineering practices across multiple programs, organizations, and mission domains. This role provides the technical leadership necessary to establish authoritative digital architectures, integrated digital threads, and enterprise-level MBSE processes using UAF, SysML, and advanced modeling platforms such as Cameo Systems Modeler, Teamwork Cloud, and Cameo Collaborator. The position is critical to defining scalable modeling governance, automated validation frameworks, configuration management processes, reporting automation, and collaborative engineering workflows required to maintain model integrity, traceability, and consistency across distributed engineering teams operating within secure and air-gapped environments. This role is also essential to advancing enterprise digital transformation objectives through the integration of mission engineering, Agile systems engineering, digital thread capabilities, and AI/ML-enabled engineering methodologies into the organization’s engineering lifecycle processes. The position ensures alignment with corporate Digital Engineering standards while improving engineering efficiency, architecture maturity, requirements quality, and cross-organizational collaboration. Without this capability, the organization risks inconsistent model development practices, reduced engineering interoperability, limited scalability of MBSE adoption, degraded configuration control, and diminished ability to support enterprise-level systems engineering modernization initiatives and future mission capability development. Responsibilities This role will focus on implementing cutting-edge MBSE processes, advancing Digital Threads, integrating Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) methodologies, and modernizing engineering and operational processes across the organization. The ideal candidate will be a technical leader with expertise in systems engineering, hands-on application of digital transformation, and organizational change. Key Responsibilities Lead development of platform architecture models using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), leveraging advanced modeling and visualization tools. Develop and integrate mission and mission engineering threads to support end-to-end system capability analysis. Champion configuration management, version control, and rigorous baselining for multiple models operating in air-gapped environments. Design, implement, and enforce model styling rules and automated validation suites to ensure consistency and quality in all deliverables. Develop custom report generation templates using Velocity Template Language (VTL) to produce documents and presentations in MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Drive collaborative and agile systems engineering processes across multiple organizations, resulting in mature, validated platform architectures and comprehensive requirements baselines. Serve as a subject matter expert in MBSE methodologies, including modeling languages (UAF, SysML) and tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, Teamwork Cloud, and Cameo Collaborator. Utilize the Atlassian toolset (Confluence, Jira) to facilitate Agile project management and model development. Lead the program-wide adoption of model-based practices, ensuring alignment with corporate digital engineering standards and best practices. Participate in a cross-organization MBSE community of practice, providing thought leadership and mentoring to elevate modeling quality and accelerate development velocity.
