Have you delivered software products as a Systems Engineer; or are you a Software Engineer looking to move into the development and integration of new software into aerospace products? If so, this may be the role for you!

We are seeking dedicated Systems Engineers, who will bridge the gap between systems engineering and software development.  Our software products support deployed and in-development systems, including:
* Mission programming and analysis tools for self-protection systems used by RAF aircraft and export customers, including Typhoon and Apache.

* Performing architectural design of software systems
* Conducting cost and functional performance trade-offs and evaluation of proposed solutions
* Enhancing capabilities and performance of in-service systems
* Designing and integrating new functionality into existing systems and with external software systems
* Designing and conducting testing and trials to prove equipment function and performance
* Root-cause analysis of anomalies, issues and faults observed during operation, integration or evaluation activities
* Leading technical activities and initiatives
* Mentoring and coaching other engineers
* Creating and delivering technical reports, presentations and proposals to customers and industry partners to support development and delivery
* Supporting knowledge sharing and exploitation of software and systems best practice  ### What you'll bring:
* A science, maths, or engineering-based degree, or equivalent experience
* Proven experience in delivering software-heavy systems, ideally to customers in regulated industries (e.g. military, rail, safety-critical)
* Experience in working with software teams using Dev Ops to deliver products
* Experience in MBSE methodologies or modelling languages such as UML

* Experience with functional architectures, development life cycles and toolsets  Knowledge of the systems engineering lifecycle, particularly in the following areas:
* Problem definition
* Systems and Software Architecture
* Software Development and Qualification
* Integration, Verification and Validation
* This is not an exhaustive list, and we are keen to hear from you even if you might not have experience in all the above. The most important skill is a good attitude and willingness to learn  ### Security Clearance This role is subject to pre-employment screening in line with the UK Government’s Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS).
