## About the Role

* Have delivered a software product to a UK MoD or other B2B/B2G customer, or at minimum delivered an integrated hardware and software product end-to-end.

 * Possess comprehensive experience across the full engineering V-cycle (requirements, architecture, design, integration, verification, validation, release), with your experience weighted towards software rather than hardware.

 * Have a proven ability to conduct system-level testing, analyse test data, and support complex root-cause failure analysis to drive rapid iteration cycles.

 * Are comfortable collaborating daily with software architects, hardware developers, and AI engineers to maintain system-level consistency and alignment across disciplines.

 * Have direct customer-facing experience and can engage comfortably with customer stakeholders and end users.

 * Hold an active UK Security Clearance (SC).

 * Communicate with full fluency in English, written and spoken

## Description

As a Systems Engineer, you will drive the end-to-end technical delivery of advanced capabilities, with a primary weighting towards software-intensive systems. You will own systems engineering activities across the full V-cycle - spanning requirements definition, system architecture, detailed design, integration, verification, validation, and release. Serving as a key technical integrator across disciplines, you will collaborate daily with software architects, AI engineers, and hardware developers to ensure system-level alignment and technical consistency. Combining rigorous analytical depth with confident customer-facing communication, you will conduct system-level testing, drive rapid design iterations through root-cause failure analysis, and interface directly with customer stakeholders.

The day-to-day

 * Drive systems engineering execution across the entire V-cycle (requirements capture, architecture, design, integration, verification, validation, and release), with an emphasis on software systems.

 * Plan and execute system-level testing; analyse complex test data and lead root-cause analysis on failures and anomalies to steer rapid design iterations.

 * Collaborate daily across multi-disciplinary engineering tracks - partnering closely with software architects, hardware developers, and AI engineers to maintain interface management and architectural coherence.

 * Serve as a direct technical touchpoint for customer stakeholders, participating in technical exchange meetings, milestone reviews, and customer demonstrations.

 * Produce and maintain clear technical documentation, requirements traceability matrices, and verification evidence for system acceptance and operational release.

 * Champion modern engineering practices, data-driven diagnostic approaches, and collaborative development tools to accelerate delivery.
