Job Title: System Engineer – Maritime Autonomy
Location: Southampton / London / South of England (Hybrid)
The Opportunity
A complex autonomous maritime programme is moving into deployment, creating the need for a Systems Engineer to take ownership of a mission-critical subsystem within a larger integrated capability.
This is not a traditional systems engineering environment focused on lengthy documentation cycles and rigid processes. Instead, you will join a growing team delivering cutting-edge autonomous maritime systems where engineering decisions quickly become real-world capability.
- You’ll work across multiple programmes involving uncrewed vessels, subsea systems, autonomy, communications and mission-critical technologies, helping shape both the technical solutions and the engineering approaches used to deliver them.
If you enjoy ownership, solving problems and seeing your work deployed in the field, this is a rare opportunity to make a genuine impact.
The Impact You Will Have
- Take ownership of complex system elements from concept through to deployment
- Translate high-level objectives into practical engineering requirements and solutions
- Coordinate activities across software, electrical, mechanical and operational teams
- Support integration, testing, verification and deployment activities
- Drive technical decisions while balancing delivery schedules, risk and operational needs
- Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes, tools and ways of working
- Act as a key contributor within a rapidly evolving engineering organisation
