You may already have systems engineering experience at equipment or product level, or you may be an electronics or hardware engineer looking to broaden your experience into requirements management, architecture, integration, verification and validation.At Stirling Dynamics, we develop electro-mechanical and mechatronic systems and electronic hardware for aerospace and training\simulation applications. Due to continued growth, we are seeking an enthusiastic engineer who wants to help shape electronic controller products from early definition through to design, integration, testing and delivery.In this role, you will support the design and development of electronic controller products for aerospace and training\simulation markets. Working closely with systems, electronics, software, gateware, safety, mechanical and simulation specialists, you will help translate customer and product requirements into robust technical solutions.For engineers looking to move closer to hardware systems engineering, this role offers exposure to requirements capture, electronic system architecture, verification planning, product-level decision-making and multi-disciplinary project delivery.The role will be predominantly based in our Bristol office, with occasional travel to customer sites as required.Due to the security requirements of the projects, candidates must be eligible to work on restricted UK programmes. For this role, we can only consider UK nationals.ResponsibilitiesProvide technical input across equipment-level systems and electronic hardware development activities. Plan and coordinate technical work packages to support project delivery. Collaborate with project managers and multidisciplinary engineering teams, including systems, safety, mechanical, software, simulation and electronics specialists. Support requirements development, systems architecture, interface definition, integration planning and verification activities. Contribute to the design, specification, verification and validation of electronic controllers for electromechanical aerospace systems. Support the development of engineering artefacts and technical evidence required throughout the product lifecycle. Participate in technical reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes and practices.QualificationsDegree in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Systems Engineering or a related engineering discipline. Equivalent relevant industry experience will also be considered.Essential skillsStrong understanding of electronics hardware, electronic controller development, or equipment-level systems engineering. Ability to work across the full engineering lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through to integration, verification and validation. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured and pragmatic engineering approach. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work effectively within multi-disciplinary engineering teams. Self-motivated, adaptable and capable of managing multiple technical priorities. Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.Desired skillsExperience using requirements management tools such as Polarion or DOORS. Exposure to DO-254 planning processes, development activities or SOI audits. Experience working directly with customers.ExperienceCandidates may come from a range of backgrounds including Systems Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electronic Systems Engineering or FPGA Gateware Engineering. Experience in one or more of the following areas would be beneficial: Requirements capture, derivation ## Related Videos - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Quantum Computing - The tiny and the big challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/934-quantum-computing-the-tiny-and-the-big-challenges) - [Breaking the Hardware Mindset: Overcoming Barriers to System-Level Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1635-breaking-the-hardware-mindset-overcoming-barriers-to-system-level-innovation) - [How to Domain Model – An example from manufacturing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/742-how-to-domain-model-an-example-from-manufacturing) - [The future of automotive mobility: Upcoming E/E architectures, V2X and its challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/374-the-future-of-automotive-mobility-upcoming-e-e-architectures-v2x-and-its-challenges) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk) - [Fullstack Developer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/251-fullstack-developer-salary-uk) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
