Senior Model-Based Systems Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Model-Based Systems Engineer – Integration, Verification & Validation (IV&V) to own interface management and the full system verification and validation program across Rondo’s products. This role is responsible for planning, defining, and reporting on all integration and V&V activities, from requirements through final evidence packages. What You’ll Do Interface Management Own all interface boundary definitions and configuration control; author and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), delegating responsibility to subsystem leads where appropriate to ensure 100% interface coverage and oversight. Use interface analysis methods — context diagrams, N2 diagrams, functional analysis, FMEA/STPA, etc. — to identify interactions, assess risks, and define requirements; maintain bidirectional traceability to the system architecture and V&V artifacts. Plan and define interface verification activities; coordinate cross-functional review and approval of interface changes; ensure every change triggers an impact assessment. Verify that discipline engineers are performing clash detection, envelope compliance, and tolerance stack-up checks correctly in a federated CAD/PLM model. V&V Planning and Definition For every requirement, define the V&V success criteria, strategy, and method across a combination of model-based simulation and physical testing. Develop V&V plans for system, subsystems, and system elements; author procedures; schedule verification events and enforce a logical bottom-up integration sequence. Work in close collaboration with subsystem and functional to confirm plans are comprehensive. Collect evidence from execution teams, review for correctness and completeness, manage discrepancies and noncompliance through to closure, and assemble the final compliance summary. Plan and define V&V for all phases of on-site commissioning. Toolchain Integration and Workflow Automation Build and maintain automated workflows in an AI-powered systems engineering platform to connect requirements, interfaces, simulations, verification status, interface changes, and traceability into a live, continuously updated picture of program health. Author AI skills to automate repetitive SE tasks: requirements quality checks, coverage gap detection, interface impact analysis, and verification status roll-ups. Reporting and Compliance Maintain end-to-end bidirectional traceability from stakeholder needs through requirements, interfaces, risks, and verification evidence. Present verification readiness and evidence status at program reviews; produce compliance summaries and requests for variance or concessions where needed. Ensure functional safety (IEC 61511), cybersecurity (IEC 62443), and other regulatory requirements are fully evidenced; apply risk-based prioritization. What You Bring 7+ years in systems, integration, or verification engineering on complex multi-disciplinary, software-intensive systems (energy storage, industrial, aerospace, automotive, robotics, or similar); 3+ years in a model-based engineering environment. Hands-on interface management experience. Demonstrated experience writing system-level V&V plans and defining verification strategies in a model-based simulation environment. Experience with requirements management tools (Jama, Flow) and bidirectional traceability. Comfortable with SolidWorks or equivalent PLM/CAD environments. Familiarity with CFD and reduced-order modeling tools (Ansys, MATLAB/Simulink) sufficient to define and validate toolchain integrations. Comfort working with AI-powered tools and building automation workflows; hands-on experience with Claude and MCP server development is a strong asset. Working knowledge of SysML and at least one MBSE tool (Catia Magic/Cameo, Rhapsody, Capella); experience defining V&V attributes and traceability inside the model. Familiarity with safety and risk analysis methods (FMEA, FTA, STPA) and their connection to verification planning. Familiarity with…
