• Translating operational and project requirements into a solution and a system architecture
• Running trade-off analyses across performance, security, resilience, cost and schedule
• Applying model-based systems engineering and reusing approved building blocks wherever possible
• Acting as technical product owner for systems already in operation: changes, obsolescence, roadmap
• Integrating work from networks, satellite and radio, cloud, storage, security and identity specialists
• Being the main technical focal point for your projects and turning issues into clear engineering tasks

What you would bring

• A degree in systems, telecommunications, computer or electronic engineering, computer science or similar
• About ten years in engineering complex ICT, defence, aerospace or telecoms systems
• Experience as a technical lead, lead systems engineer or solution architect
• Strong requirements engineering, interfaces, traceability and system integration
• Broad knowledge across networking, infrastructure, security, cloud and communications
• Experience looking after complex systems once they are live: configuration, change and lifecycle
• Professional English for writing and reviewing technical documentation
