Principal Systems Engineer

Eaton MSD Cheltenham is looking for a Principal Systems Engineer to support the development of the next generation of Stores Ejection products. The role will involve deployment on a diverse portfolio of products initially focused on developing Pneumatic systems for Military applications. As these systems have a significant mechanical engineering portion, previous experience with mechanical-based aerospace products will be advantageous.

What you’ll do:

  • Development of solutions for the military aerospace industries following a systems engineering approach.
  • Holding discussions with customers resulting in elicitation of key stakeholder requirements.
  • Development and derivation of customer requirements into realizable product requirements.
  • Requirements-based verification and validation of product requirements, using manual and scripted methods.
  • Production of interface control documents, system design documents, and other supporting documents.
  • Controlling and managing engineering change throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Preparation of technical proposals including estimations and presentations.
  • Technical oversight and mentoring of other Systems Engineers within a project team.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
