Systems Design Engineer

Systems Design Engineer is a role where you will be responsible for developing overall system related technical decisions, while acting as the technical focal point for a project (or projects) throughout its lifecycle. To do this you will need to:

• Collaborate with the customer to develop a set of system requirements and agree an overall project plan.
• Work with the wider engineering team to analyse requirements, develop system architectures, design concepts and down select to a final engineering solution.
• Support the definition of the system V&V plan and support system testing and analysis
• Prepare documentation for system qualification and aircraft certification
• Help identify continuous improvement opportunities and contribute to the Safran Electrical & Power improvement journey

We are looking for candidates with a range of skills and experience, but we're also keen to help people grow and develop in this role. If you have some or all of the following, we'd love to hear from you:

• Good understanding of the System Engineering process and its application to the product lifecycle
• Experience coordinating the work of others across a range of technical discipline, including the ability to communicate and work with all manner of team members, in a conscientious and inclusive way. This will include working and managing external stakeholder as well as internal.
• Experience working within the Aerospace regulatory environment, or similar regulated industry.
• A broad understanding of aircraft or other complex safety-critical systems
• Knowledge and/or experience of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches and tools
• A degree in a relevant engineering subject, or other appropriate qualifications or experience

Specific knowledge of electrical and electronic systems is an advantage but not essential. If you have experience in the design of other complex system types then you have skills we are interested in and we would welcome your application.
