You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and contribute across the full systems engineering lifecycle, from concept and requirements capture through to integration, verification, customer acceptance and in-service support. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Systems Engineer to work on technically challenging products alongside software, electronics and mechanical engineering teams.

As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will:

• Support the full systems engineering lifecycle from concept through to delivery and customer acceptance.
• Develop system architectures, requirements and technical solutions.
• Plan and support system integration, verification and validation activities.
• Work closely with software, electronics and mechanical engineering teams throughout product development.
• Identify, assess and manage technical risks across projects.
• Produce high-quality technical documentation, specifications and engineering reports.
• Participate in design reviews and customer-facing engineering activities.
• Mentor and support junior engineers within the Systems Engineering team.
• Contribute to multiple engineering projects across a diverse product portfolio.
• Travel to customer and project sites when required.

We re looking for an engineer with a solid background in systems engineering and product development who enjoys solving complex technical challenges within multidisciplinary environments.
