Are you an experienced Systems Engineer looking for your next challenge? This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team developing cutting-edge targeting and surveillance systems for land and naval defence applications.
You’ll play a key role in shaping high-performance, complex systems – from concept demonstrators with high levels of technical risk through to repeat orders of proven electro-optical surveillance and tracking solutions.
This role offers variety, responsibility, and the chance to work on multi-disciplinary projects with real-world impact.
What you’ll be doing
- Capturing and analysing requirements
- Managing technical risks across projects
- Designing and defining functional and physical systems architecture
- Developing engineering management plans (safety, integration, acceptance, risk)
- Creating requirement and test specifications for internal teams and suppliers
- Conducting design reviews and overseeing integration & acceptance (including some international travel)
- Supporting environmental qualification (EMC, temperature, shock, vibration)
- Driving continuous improvement across processes and practices
What we’re looking for
Essential:
- Degree in engineering or related discipline
- 4+ years of systems engineering experience within defence, aerospace, or a similar field
- Strong background in requirements analysis, systems engineering lifecycle, and design reviews
- Hands-on experience with systems integration, testing, and customer acceptance
- Work package management skills and proficiency in technical report writing
- Practical understanding of both electrical and mechanical technology
Desirable:
- Technical leadership experience
- Familiarity with defence standards (MIL, STANAG, etc.)
- Knowledge of statutory compliance (e.g., CE Marking)
- Experience with infrared/visible spectrum camera sensor technology
What’s on offer
- 37.5-hour working week with Friday lunchtime finishes
- Hybrid/flexible working arrangements
- 28 days annual leave + Christmas closure + holiday purchase scheme
- Competitive pension scheme (matched up to 5%)
- Income protection, life assurance & employee assistance programme
- Company share schemes & electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme
- Wellbeing initiatives, social activities & gym discounts
- Learning & development opportunities
- Free onsite parking
Security Clearance
