• Examine and reverse engineer configuration files used for large scale systems (XML, proprietary formats, etc.).

• Design Java pipelines that read Cameo Systems Modeler (SysML) models and produce equivalent configuration files.

• Build proof of concept tools that extend the model’s ability to auto generate configuration artifacts.

• Package the generation tools as reproducible artifacts (Maven/Gradle, Docker images) and integrate them into the team’s build pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, etc.).

• Explore container based execution (Docker, Podman, OCI) for the generation steps to guarantee environment consistency.
  Basic Qualifications:

• Minimum 3 years of professional Java experience (Java 8+).

• Knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) languages such as Java, Python, or C++ with the ability to apply these skills in a professional setting

• Hands on familiarity with SysML/UML concepts and Cameo Systems Modeler (Magic Draw)/Rhapsody

• Ability to parse, manipulate, and generate large configuration files (XML, JSON, YAML, CSV, proprietary formats).

• Strong written/oral skills; able to explain technical solutions to multidisciplinary audiences.

• Excellent organizational and time-management skills

• Must be a US Citizen; this position will require a government security clearance.
  Desired Skills:

• Experience using Cameo’s Open API or Magic Draw API from Java along with the modeling tools themselves (Cameo, Magic Draw, Phapsody.PlantUML, etc)

• Familiarity with Linux, Git, MATLAB

• Familiarity with Jira or Redmine project management tools

• Familiarity with Docker (Dockerfile authoring, image publishing) and concepts of container based pipelines.

• Familiarity with Agile software development methodologies

• Knowledgeable in execution semantics for SysML, UML, or both, with a willingness to learn and apply these skills in a professional setting
