We are seeking an experienced Product Delivery Manager – System of Systems (SoS) to lead the delivery and continuous improvement of digital capabilities supporting multi‑system architecture, interoperability, and mission‑level integration.

Reporting to the Product Owner – Systems Engineering, you will define and deliver integrated SoS tool chains and reference architectures that embed authoritative models within the Digital Thread, replacing document‑centric approaches with fully traceable, model‑based practices across complex, multi‑system programmes.

• Own delivery of SoS digital capabilities, including UAF/DoDAF‑aligned architecture modelling (Cameo + UAF), SysML/UML integration, IBM DOORS NG requirements management, interface/ICD governance, configuration/change control, variant management, simulation/federation, and verification traceability.
• Define SoS reference architectures and technical baselines aligned to enterprise standards.
• Ensure end‑to‑end traceability from capability requirements and operational scenarios through system allocations, interfaces, analysis, simulation, and test evidence.
• Establish governance standards, modelling guidelines, data structures, and baselining strategies.
• Lead stakeholder engagement, supplier coordination, and change initiatives to embed model‑centric, cross‑system ways of working.
• Manage technology partners to deliver secure, scalable, and compliant solutions.

• Degree in Systems Engineering, Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
• 10+ years of experience delivering SoS/MBSE capabilities within aerospace, defence, or other regulated, safety‑critical industries.
• Strong expertise in capability decomposition, operational/mission thread modelling, architecture and interface management, and simulation/federated integration.
• Experience integrating architecture modelling tools with enterprise platforms (e.g., DOORS NG, configuration management, digital thread environments).
• Proven leadership across complex, multi‑partner delivery programmes.
• Project/Programme Management certification (APM, PRINCE2, SAFe/Agile) or equivalent experience.
• Security clearance (or eligibility) required.

This is a key role driving enterprise‑wide System of Systems digital transformation—enabling integrated architectures, cross‑domain interoperability, and model‑based lifecycle assurance.
