Job Description
YT Tech is partnering with a defence organisation looking for a Systems Engineer on a permanent basis.
On behalf of this company, we are seeking a flexible, enthusiastic, and highly experienced Systems Engineer to join their dynamic R&D team. This is a hands-on design and technical leadership role where you will take complete ownership of system designs, guiding products from initial concept through to manufacture and through-life support.
Key Responsibilities
As a Systems Engineer, your blend of hands-on technical skill and engineering management will see you:
- System Design & Integration: Participate in the full development, integration, verification, and validation of advanced engineering projects.
- Requirements & Specifications: Produce comprehensive requirement specifications in line with customer and product goals.
- Testing & Diagnostics: Formulate and execute test strategies, plans, and procedures; evaluate prototypes and handle fault-finding and resolution.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Provide technical oversight and collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary internal team (Software, RF, PCB Layout, Mechanical) and external partners.
- Mentorship: Act as a technical mentor to less experienced engineers as the team continues to grow.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Coordinate with suppliers, manage in-house/external production, and engage with clients to elicit requirements and provide technical support.
Essential Skills & Experience:
- Lifecycle Methodologies: Strong experience across the full engineering lifecycle, utilizing formal frameworks such as the V-model and Agile development.
- Technical Debugging: Proven ability to test and debug complex systems across hardware, software, and FPGA firmware domains.
- Documentation: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of authoring requirements, design specs, and test plans.
- Engineering Tools: Experience managing Configuration Items and BoMs using Aras Innovator (or equivalent PLM), alongside tools like IBM DOORS, Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Desirable (but Not Essential) Skills:
- A background in electronics or RF design, radio systems, and the use of RF test equipment.
- Previous domain experience in EW/ECM, C-UAS, or similar defence-sector radio products.
- Automated Test Equipment (ATE) software development experience (e.g., Python) and working knowledge of Linux.
- Experience defining and executing formal qualification testing (EMC, environmental, safety) in line with standards like Def Stan, MIL-STD, or ISO.
