As part of one of the world's leading defence, security and aerospace companies, you will be part of the development and supply of products across a diverse mix of commercial and military platforms; Head Up and Head Worn Displays, Safety Critical Pilot Control and Flight Control Systems.

We encourage our Systems Engineers to gain a breadth of knowledge across these domains and also develop to become subject matter experts in one or more product domain, or systems engineering specialism.

As a Senior Systems Engineer your main responsibilities will involve:

Understanding our customers’ complex needs and collaborating to develop, validate and manage requirements at multiple levels
Developing complex system architectures and sub-systems using a Model Based Systems Engineering approach
Integration, analysis and test of real time systems containing multiple technical disciplines such as electronic, mechanical, optical and software sub-systems.
Taking accountability for collaborative technical work package execution and associated outcomes
Providing guidance, coaching and nurturing talent in other engineers
Verifying that customer needs are satisfied
Steering new and improved systems development through implementation whilst making use of best practice systems lifecycle processes alongside techniques such as Learn First and Agile 

As a Senior Systems Engineer your skills and qualifications will ideally include:

5 years or more proven experience in systems engineering activities in relevant product markets and/or domains, such as real time displays or electro-mechanical controls
Proven experience in requirements and design analysis, modelling and simulation, using tools such as DOORS, Siemens Polarion, Enterprise Architect, Matlab and Simulink and design methodologies such as SysML
Proven experience in safety-related systems and safety assessment processes with an understanding of how these processes influence the design
Customer and/or supplier liaison experience for technical aspects
Ability to work with little guidance and make sound strategic decisions whilst collaborating to ensure the team understand, co-operate and support those decisions
Proven experience in estimating, planning and tracking multi-discipline or systems engineering activities
Ability to perform review assessments and technically guide the work of others
Detailed electronic engineering experience is highly desirable. Exposure to other engineering disciplines (Optics, AI, software, manufacture, mechanical etc.) is also desirable.
An understanding of information assurance, cyber security and environmental impact aspects relating to real time embedded engineering products would be beneficial
A degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant Scientific/Engineering subject (e.g. Systems Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Physics or Mathematics)

We are looking for people who:

Collaborate effectively as part of a larger team, sharing understanding and enthusiasm via excellent communication skills
Reliably estimate and plan their own work, understanding budget and schedule constraints, share concerns openly, accurately report progress
Are inclusive and nurture others, sharing positive and constructive feedback spontaneously and sensitively
Are proactive in looking for and sharing improvement opportunities
Context switch and prioritise work effectively whilst yielding positive results
Are curious, question others, are eager to learn and solve new dilemmas
Support strategic goals whilst working on detailed and complex technical tasks
Exhibit professional behaviours at all times, providing a role model for others
