Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

- Are you a systems-thinker?
- Does solving complex problems using MBSE interest you?
- Would you thrive in a collaborative environment?
- Do you want to apply your skills to a complex problem domain?

Then we want to speak to you.

We are recruiting for a number of Model Based Systems Engineering roles. Wherever you go, you will work on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products.

Your work may be exploited into:

• The technology development platforms being developed by the UK’s Team Tempest to support the development of a new 6th generation aircraft within the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).
• Concept demonstrators for future Electronic Warfare technologies and systems.
• Air Platform Protection systems for export customer aircraft.

The Division researches, designs, develops, and builds complex electronic systems, products, and services for the global defence market, from research through to in-service.

Dependent on the role and phase of work, we offer roles with hybrid working options, though some roles require on-site presence. Talk to us to discover more.

What you’ll do as a Systems Engineer using MBSE:

Our Systems Engineers work in multidisciplinary teams across various activities, integrating all necessary engineering and technology strands into high-performance systems. As a Systems Engineer, you will bridge the gap between theoretical possibilities and practical implementations.

We are recruiting for roles from diverse backgrounds and skillsets. Based on your skills and foundational knowledge, we will assess where you fit best and discuss the options with you.

Typical work may include:

• Performing use case analysis for requirements derivation based on operational scenarios.
• Undertaking top-down system design, exploring architectural options, and conducting trade-off studies.
• Developing system requirements and translating them into subsystem requirements and interface definitions.
• Participating in technical meetings with internal and external stakeholders to agree on solutions.
• Collaborating with implementation and verification teams to ensure delivery of compliant systems.
• Planning demonstrations and trials.
• Providing technical reports and recommendations for delivery to customers and partners.
• Depending on experience, leading technical activities or mentoring other engineers.
• Supporting knowledge sharing and best practices.

What we need from you:

Ideally, you will have a science-based Honours degree or equivalent experience. Experience in industry or advanced academic research is valued. We do not require electronic warfare domain knowledge, as training is provided. We seek systems engineers with MBSE experience that we can develop through training, teamwork, and mentoring.

We are interested if you have experience in:

• The systems engineering lifecycle.
• Engineering gate reviews and design compliance assessments.
• Applying MBSE methods to solve complex engineering challenges.
• Requirements elicitation, negotiation, and definition.
• Awareness of agile development methodologies.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills.
• Managing complex designs with uncertainty.
• Supporting design/delivery teams in technical solutions.
• Self-motivation, problem-solving, and resolution skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Experience working with stakeholders of varying seniorities.
