## Description

We are seeking an operational, highly collaborative Systems Engineer with a robust hardware and network integration background to support the United Kingdom National Airspace System Replacement (UK NAS-R) program. In this role, you will be the core technical catalyst responsible for translating complex infrastructure layouts into actionable, step-by-step technical and work instructions for deployment and support technicians.

By combining your hands-on infrastructure engineering experience with rigorous documentation planning, you will bridge the gap between high-level physical network architecture and ground-level field deployment, ensuring our teams have standardized, repeatable, and safety-compliant procedures., * Infrastructure Instruction Lifecycle: Own the planning, execution, scheduling, and maintenance of all hardware installation guides, cable matrix sheets, router/switch configuration scripts, and technician-facing work instructions.

 * Hardware & Network Translation: Interpret physical rack elevations, network topologies, electrical interfaces, and port maps to author crisp, unambiguous procedures for field technicians.
 * Data-Driven Process Optimization: Collect and evaluate operational data to identify bottlenecks in hardware staging or network configuration, implementing measurable improvements to repeatability and deployment efficiency.
 * Stakeholder Engagement & Training: Facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions, train internal operations teams on network installation workflows, and author technical presentation content for cross-functional engineering updates., CI/CD
