Lead Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

The following below is a representative but not exhaustive list of the requirements for this role with priorities on each changing as required.

• Team leading Lead a small team of engineers across several locations.
  
  Manage stakeholders both internal and external
• Systems Engineering Predominantly mechanical systems integration engineering of the the design and packaging of mechanical systems and process equipment into nuclear glove boxes. A background in this or similar PPE roles within the nuclear industry would be a distinct advantage.
  
  Producing optioneering reports to evaluate design concepts.
  
  Defining processes for design validation and requirement extraction.
  
  Developing equipment specification documents for suppliers (., ventilation systems, environmental monitoring systems).
• Requirements System and sub-system requirement identification should seek to link common requirements across PP&E projects via a requirements management tool, for example, DOORS. Requirements should be grouped as either Standard (or Common) Requirement or Project Specific (non-Common) Requirement. This to reduce duplication of requirement for each project and to provide a mechanism to measure and manage PP&E ‘standardisation’ (commonality) across the live projects.
  
  Engaging with end users to clarify and validate requirements through the design phase.
  
  Confirming that the proposed design meets user needs.
  
  Facilitating stakeholder workshops.
  
  Managing requirements using DOORS.
• System Concepts Due to specific needs of each project, it is highly likely that projects working independently to each other will select different system solutions.
  
  The Technical Leads are responsible for ensuring any concept down select considers opportunities for single, standardised, solution selection across the projects.
  
  This means in practice that any tools used (Functional Means Analysis, N2 Analysis, Whole System Solution Identification, Decision Matrix, Pugh Matrix) should prioritise standardisation.
• System Design During system design phase, the standardisation initiative shall champion specific principles, including :
  Reducing the number of different models and makes of equipment in use by seeking similarities across the projects and reuse of technical information between projects.
  
  Maximising the use of common sub-systems in different equipment.
  
  Minimising the number of different types, assemblies, etc.
  
  Maximising the use of commercial of-the-shelf (COTS) items; or use of modified of-the-shelf (MOTS) where a COTS solution would be non-compliant to a key functional requirement.
• Detail Design During detail design phase, the increasing use of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and the bringing of design under configuration control shall provide the opportunity to compare technical solutions. By determining the degree of standardisation for similar products between projects and by identifying areas of commonality
• Evolution of Design Later phases of the lifecycle shall seek to reduce the diversity of supplied equipment and champion standardisation whenever the design is revisited for improvement.
  
  Those elements of design output (requirements, technology solutions) where demonstrating standardisation should form the basis fo any future offers / programmes.

• BEng or equivalent in relevant engineering discipline (Electronic Engineering, Electrical and Electronic, or Communications).

• Systems Engineering
• Requirements and Use Case analysis
• Concept assessment and design trade studies
• System architecture design and functional modelling
• Performance assessment and systems behavior analysis
• Verification, Validation and Certification
• Test Cases, test scripts, Capture of test evidence
• Proven experience in Holistic Life Cycle Management with balanced competencies across the SE Discipline
• Experience : 5+ years’ experience in system engineering activities
• Technical / Specialized knowledge :
  With technical programmes of work.
• Practitioner in Determining and Managing Stakeholder Requirements, Life Cycle Tailoring, Verification, Validation and Transition to Operation..

• Familiarisation with DOORS Requirements Management software.
• Familiari…
