Our Client
Our client is a technology business developing complex communications systems for the space sector.
The Role
The Senior Systems Engineer will work across requirements, architecture, integration, and verification of multidisciplinary systems, with responsibility for allocated systems or subsystems through development, qualification, and operational use.
This is a broad systems engineering role with a practical element. Alongside requirements, modelling, and technical documentation, you will work directly with the system during testing, demonstrations, and technical investigations.
What You Will Be Working On
- Owning allocated systems or subsystems, including specification and verification activities
- Defining system and subsystem requirements and developing architectures, designs, and models
- Planning and carrying out verification, qualification, and operational demonstrations, including interoperability activities
- Supporting system integration, deployment, and operation, including hands-on testing and troubleshooting
- Identifying technical risks and issues, analyzing system behavior, and evaluating engineering options
- Developing and maintaining technical documentation including interface definitions, operational procedures, system models, and technical budgets
- Coordinating subsystem developments and technical suppliers or subcontractors where required
- Contributing to systems engineering processes, including MBSE and associated engineering tools
