Systems Engineers

Who you are

• Experienced in systems engineering across the full lifecycle, with clear ownership of requirements, architecture, integration, and verification activities
• Technically strong, with the ability to interpret, challenge, and refine system‐level designs, interfaces, and behaviours across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
• Hands‐on, comfortable working with hardware, debugging integration issues, and supporting real‐world testing and trials
• A clear communicator who can align diverse engineering teams, operational users, and external stakeholders around system‐level priorities and decisions
• Structured and methodical, with a strong focus on reliability, traceability, and delivering systems that work in high‐consequence environments
• Desirable
• Understanding of navigation, control systems, and sensor fusion, particularly in autonomous or robotic platforms
• Experience with communication and networking systems such as acoustic modems, RF, or satellite communications
• Background working with USVs, AUVs, or other marine or autonomous systems
• Knowledge of model‐based systems engineering approaches and tools such as SysML
• Given the nature of the work, this role requires you to obtain and maintain the appropriate level of UK national security clearance. You must be willing and able to undergo the necessary security vetting process, and continued employment in the role may be subject to maintaining the required clearance. Security vetting will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and standards set by United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV).
