• Support certification planning, risk management, and cross-functional design assurance.

What We’re Looking For – Systems Engineering Manager

• Degree qualified in Systems, Electrical, Aerospace, or a related field.
• Proven leadership in systems engineering within aerospace or high-integrity environments.
• Strong knowledge of the V-model, including system architecture, requirements flow-down, and verification strategy.
• Confident dealing with customers and managing technical dialogue at a senior level.
• Familiar with certification frameworks and safety-critical development standards.
