Job description

We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to support the design, development, integration, and lifecycle management of complex Air Traffic Management Systems. You will apply rigorous systems engineering practices to ensure the safe, secure, and efficient operation of ATM infrastructure that is critical to national and international aviation safety.

In this role, you will work with our customer stakeholders, industry partners and specialist engineers to elicit requirements, specify solutions and resolve problems, helping to protect and advance one of the world's most important infrastructure domains.

Our systems engineering practices are developed to deliver high integrity systems that meet exacting industry standards, using established and emerging technologies and techniques such as mathematical modelling, digital visualisation, AI LLM assistance, and our own REVEAL® requirements engineering method and MBSE framework.

As a Systems Engineer within Capgemini you will work with our customer and industry partners on a programme of national importance to support and improve UK ATM infrastructure. You will be given the opportunity to grow and take on responsibility from day one in a challenging and rewarding customer‑facing environment.

What you’ll do

• You will be a proactive systems engineer with responsibility for understanding and specifying defined aspects of the problem and solution. You will work in a small multi‑disciplined team with domain and engineering specialists. Your work will include:
• Engaging with stakeholders and specialists as necessary to understand aspects of the domain, requirements, and solution
• Analysing and modelling large data sets, documents and legacy systems, with the help of AI LLM assistants
• Specifying solutions and establishing traceability and compliance using our (ISO 15288 aligned) requirements and MBSE frameworks
• You will work in a multi‑disciplinary team to specify and integrate complex safety‑critical systems. This will require you to understand and evaluate ATM operational processes and use‑cases, and non‑functional system properties such as safety, security, reliability, maintainability, and usability

Your Profile

• Engineering or science degree, with substantial experience (5+ years) delivering high‑integrity systems engineering projects in a regulated industry.
• Knowledge of relevant industry‑standards and systems engineering processes across the full lifecycle, including requirements management, system specification, verification & validation and systems integration.
• Experience as a systems engineer working collaboratively to deliver safety‑critical systems
• Hands‑on experience in stakeholder management, requirements management, authoring natural language specifications, the use of MBSE (SysML/UML), and systems validation and integration.
• Ability to work effectively and autonomously in collaborative, multi‑disciplinary environments with strong communication, influencing, and presentation skills
• Experience in Air Traffic Management systems
• Proficiency with deploying and using Sparx Enterprise Architect
• Experience using SysML or UML
• Professional Systems Engineering certification (e.g. INCOSE ASEP/CSEP/ESEP), or a clear desire to work towards it.
• Chartered Engineer status, or active progress toward achieving chartership.
