System Architect (MDDI/MBSE)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a System Architect (MDDI/MBSE) based in United States. As a System Architect, you’ll help shape enterprise architecture and digital engineering capabilities for a large-scale transformation program supporting mission-critical transportation and logistics operations. You’ll use Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies to develop authoritative system models, architecture views, and end-to-end mission threads. The role combines systems engineering, enterprise architecture, integration, and digital thread strategy within a mature engineering environment. You’ll translate complex operational and technical requirements into scalable architectures while maintaining traceability across requirements, interfaces, workflows, and data. Working with engineering, cybersecurity, functional, and program teams, you’ll help resolve cross-domain dependencies and establish effective architecture governance. This position offers the opportunity to influence enterprise transformation, technology roadmaps, and model-driven decision-making in a highly regulated environment.
