The company has a worldwide impact in the marine sector by leading the next generation of maritime domain awareness technologies “MDA”, products, and systems that significantly enhance security, safety, environmental protection, and sustainability. Our customers are global and range from the largest national coast guards to individual vessel owners.

SRTis an exciting company where high-quality results are rewarded. We are ambitious and constantly seek to innovate in order to deliver better products and services to our customers. We strive to makeSRTa rewarding and challenging place to work, where talented, hard-working individuals have the opportunity to make a real impact across the safety and security in the maritime and marine industry.

This is a new role with significant responsibilities. We are seeking an experienced Project Systems Architect who will be a "key" colleague and responsible for the overarching design technical architecture and engineering solutions within Project Delivery.

You will take a holistic view of the complete solution, ensuring that individual systems, subsystems and infrastructure components work together as an integrated whole. You will establish and maintain technical governance, understand dependencies and interfaces, and ensure that the implications of subsystem design and performance are identified and addressed from the outset

These are complex, real-world programmes in which requirements, constraints and circumstances can evolve throughout delivery. The Project System Architect must therefore be able to anticipate the consequences of change, assess technical and programme-level trade-offs, and ensure that decisions continue to protect overall system performance, resilience, cost and schedule.

A key aspect of the role is to provide technical direction, architectural governance and design authority across all engineering and technical disciplines working with engineers, ICP (In-Country Partner) and third party vendors to ensure all technical interaction is accounted for.

The role will involve significant cross-functional and cross-departmental engagement to establish and maintain SRT's engineering reference architectures, technical standards, design principles and architectural governance. This will require close collaboration with Systems Development, Product Management, Project Engineering, Delivery and Support to ensure that architectural decisions are consistently applied throughout the product and project lifecycle.

The role will also act as a senior technical authority for cross-disciplinary engineering decisions, providing assurance and sign-off where required and ensuring that solutions are technically robust, maintainable, scalable and capable of being deployed consistently across SRT's programmes and products.

The role of Project Systems Architect is based from our Bristol office with flexibility for Hybrid working. This role will also require occasional overseas travel as required by the business

• Provide significant technical leadership and support to the Project Engineering Manager, acting as a senior technical decision-maker and design authority within the Project Engineering function
• Work closely with the Global Engineering Lead during the handover of system designs into Project Engineering, ensuring that designs consider practical field deployment, installation, commissioning, maintainability and operational requirements
• Ensure that individual engineering disciplines are developed as part of a single integrated solution, rather than operating as independent technical silos, ensuring appropriate interfaces and dependencies are defined and managed
• Define and maintain architectural principles, design patterns and reference architectures that provide a consistent and reusable approach across projects and programmes
• Provide technical direction where architectural decisions cross multiple engineering disciplines, ensuring that the overall solution remains coherent and aligned with SRT's engineering strategy
• Act as the senior engineering escalation point for complex architectural and cross-disciplinary technical issues, providing…
