## Description

In the 12-month Systems Engineering Placement, you'll gain invaluable skills and experience in covering all aspects of systems engineering from requirements capturing, system design and verification. You could be helping with gaining and maintaining network connectivity and providing support services to customers or process improvement using IT systems internally.
We have several types or roles in this area:
Control Systems (Dowty) - within a multi-disciplinary engineering team at Dowty Propellers, supporting the business in meeting customer requirements, quality, schedule, and cost across new applications, R&D, and in-service product support. Key responsibilities include defining requirements for propeller control systems within industry-standard systems and safety engineering frameworks proposing cost-effective control system solutions and analysing system performance using simulation environments that integrate propeller, engine, and airframe elements. You create requirements for control units for subcontract design and manufacture, define and support verification testing of propeller control systems, contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, and ensure implementation and maintenance of GE Aerospace compliance standards and policies.
Systems Engineering (Cheltenham) - end-to-end experience of the systems engineering lifecycle for safety-critical aerospace products such as controllers, displays, and aircraft power distribution systems. You will work with customers to capture, write, and manage requirements, ensuring full traceability, and then define and execute verification and validation activities through hands-on lab testing, integration tests, and analysis of results. The role supports certification and safety by contributing to evidence for aviation authorities and working to industry standards. You will collaborate across hardware, software, safety, and certification teams, participate in technical reviews with internal and external stakeholders, and apply lean engineering principles to drive continuous improvement, efficiency, and quality., Meaning, you can head back into your final year at university with a graduate job offer in hand. All you need to do is secure a 2,1 degree or above!
