## Description

As a Systems Engineer, Land, you will define the system architecture for one of Helsing's land defence programmes and keep every customer requirement traceable through to software and hardware design. You will run integration, verification, validation, qualification and certification, so that capability reaches land forces on schedule and to contracted quality and cost. Several project teams will look to you for guidance on reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, and for the quality protocols that keep the programme compliant with defence standards and government regulation. You will work with software architects and engineers to turn system-level requirements into working software, and with customers and industry partners to agree how we mitigate risks to programme milestones.

The day-to-day

 * Define the system architecture for a land defence programme, and hold traceability from customer requirements through to software and hardware design
 * Run integration, verification, validation, qualification and certification, so that capability reaches land forces on schedule and to contracted quality and cost
 * Act as subject-matter expert on reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) for several project teams, and set the quality protocols that keep the programme compliant with defence standards and government regulation
 * Partner with software architects and engineers to turn system-level requirements into software solutions, and keep technical decisions aligned across teams
 * Analyse system risks and vulnerabilities, quantify their impact on programme milestones, and agree mitigations with customers and industry partners
