Roxel Systems Engineer
Roxel is an Anglo-French Company that designs, develops and manufactures a range of solid propellant rocket motors for use in tactical missiles. Its operations are spread across several sites in the UK and France and it has an annual turnover of about £250M and nearly 1000 staff, with 300 in the UK.
The role purpose is to establish, deploy and develop a requirements management and systems engineering process for our solid rocket motor programmes. Over the long term this will involve making systems engineering a shared discipline owned by every engineer rather and the sole responsibility of a siloed function. We are working towards the engineering culture often associated with the most effective modern aerospace organisations captured in the phrase: “everyone is a systems engineer, and no one is”. A central challenge of this is balancing the rigor which is essential for our safety-critical propulsion systems with a lean, low bureaucracy approach that engineers will be willing to adopt. The successful candidate will help lead this transformation and guide other engineers to understand the systems engineering mindset.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the requirements management and systems engineering methodology, using established frameworks (e.g. NASA SE Handbook, INCOSE, ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 & 29148) as a base and modifying to suit the organisation’s scale and culture.
- Own and configure the ALM/requirements management system including definition, refinement & derivation, architecture, traceability, baselines and change control.
- Build and champion the systems engineering capability of the wider engineering team through worked examples, mapped process diagrams and hands-on training.
- Prototype and prove the process on development programs before scaling it across the business.
- Develop our ALM tool’s (Codebeamer) project architecture, mapping it to the systems engineering processes that you help develop.
- Define links between requirements and physical components, ensuring bidirectional traceability of all system components with their parent requirements/user needs.
- Perform any other duties necessary, as requested to by the business to carry out job function.
