Protecting What Matters. Powering the Future of Naval Technology.
Ultra Maritime is a global leader in advanced maritime defence solutions. We operate at the forefront of innovation, delivering technologies that protect lives, secure nations, and enable a safer, more sustainable world.
We are seeking a Systems Integration, Verification & Validation Engineer to support the deployment, integration, and validation of complex electromechanical systems across customer and satellite sites. This position is focused on field integration, operational deployment, and mechanical systems integration rather than software development.
Role Overview
The successful candidate will act as a key engineering interface between internally developed systems and customer environments, ensuring systems are successfully integrated, commissioned, validated, and supported throughout their operational lifecycle. The role has evolved around a unique capability within the team, providing mechanical engineering expertise alongside practical system integration and deployment support. Whilst the wider engineering team is predominantly software, electronics, and electrical focused, this role provides the mechanical systems integration expertise required to successfully deliver systems into operational environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and support the integration of complete systems at customer and satellite sites
- Conduct Verification & Validation (V&V) activities to ensure systems meet operational and customer requirements
- Support operational deployment, installation, commissioning, and acceptance activities
- Work closely with field service engineers during system deployment and in-service support
- Investigate and resolve integration issues arising during installation, deployment, and operation
- Act as the primary engineering contact for mechanical integration activities
- Assess and manage mechanical interfaces between company systems and third-party/customer equipment
- Support mechanical assembly, build, and installation activities
- Conduct fault-finding and troubleshooting across integrated electromechanical systems
- Develop test procedures, integration plans, validation documentation, and technical reports
- Support customer acceptance testing and operational readiness activities
- Provide engineering support for deployed systems and respond to field-based technical issues
