Akkodis is seeking an experienced Electronics Requirements Manager to support a major defence programme within a highly regulated engineering environment. This role is ideal for engineers with a strong background in requirements management, systems engineering, verification and compliance. Whilst an understanding of electronics and hardware systems is important, the primary focus is ensuring requirements are captured, managed, verified and evidenced throughout the engineering lifecycle.
The Opportunity
You will be responsible for translating customer and system requirements into structured, traceable engineering deliverables, ensuring compliance with programme, industry and regulatory standards. Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will support requirements capture, verification activities and compliance evidence generation, helping to deliver complex hardware solutions in accordance with customer and project expectations.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead requirements capture, analysis, allocation and management activities.
- Maintain traceability from customer requirements through design, integration, verification and acceptance.
- Support verification and validation activities, ensuring compliance evidence is generated and maintained.
- Develop test specifications, verification strategies and acceptance criteria alongside engineering teams.
- Produce and review requirements documentation, test documentation and compliance reports.
- Support regulatory and standards compliance activities.
- Collaborate with customers, stakeholders and technical teams to resolve requirements and engineering issues.
- Assess the impact of requirement changes and support engineering change management processes.
- Contribute to project planning, progress reporting and programme governance.
- Promote best practice in requirements management and systems engineering.
