MBSE Engineer - SysML v2

$55–120/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: STEM and Coding

Translate engineering requirements and architecture artifacts into accurate SysML v2 textual models for AI training and evaluation. The work includes building reference solutions, designing assessment rubrics, and reviewing AI-generated models for fidelity, traceability, and modeling quality.

The work

You will interpret requirements, Concepts of Operations (ConOps), interface control documents (ICDs), and architecture specifications, then express them as SysML v2 textual models. Day-to-day tasks include developing reference architectures, preserving traceability from source artifacts, reviewing AI-generated models, and documenting specific technical corrections.

What the platform screens for

The screening is likely to test hands-on SysML v2 textual modeling rather than general familiarity with model-based systems engineering. Expect follow-up questions about requirement decomposition, interface modeling, traceability, ambiguity resolution, and how you would build a rubric that distinguishes syntactic validity from semantic and architectural correctness. Experience in aerospace, space, defense, automotive, maritime, or communications is beneficial but not required, while exposure to AI, ML, rubric design, or model review is advantageous.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor role with asynchronous written and verbal collaboration. The listing does not state a fixed schedule or typical weekly hours, so candidates should be ready to provide realistic availability and explain how they handle clarification and review cycles across a distributed team.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your SysML v2 experience is hands-on and professional, including the source artifacts, model elements, tooling, and traceability mechanisms you actually used.
A strong answer: Anchor the answer in one verifiable project and explain the source requirements, the SysML v2 constructs created, how relationships were maintained, and how the model was reviewed or used. Clearly separate direct SysML v2 work from prior SysML v1 experience.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing MBSE at a high level without showing any SysML v2 textual syntax, model structure, tooling, or concrete deliverable.
