## About the Role

* A degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
 * Experience applying systems engineering methodologies within complex engineering environments.
 * A track record of requirements management, architecture development and verification activities.
 * Experience working on technically complex products, systems or programmes.
 * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
 * Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
 * Experience working across multiple engineering disciplines.
 * Experience using requirements management tools.

## Description

You'll work closely with technical leaders and multidisciplinary engineering teams, helping to define requirements, manage interfaces, build system architectures and ensure critical decisions are made with confidence and clarity. The role has been created because demand for systems engineering expertise is growing and we're looking for someone who can become a key contributor to programme success from day one.
Why this role is exciting

This isn't a role where you'll be maintaining established products or supporting incremental improvements.

You'll be working in an environment where technologies are evolving, requirements are emerging, and engineering challenges often don't have obvious answers.

Success requires curiosity, collaboration and an ability to break down complex problems into manageable parts. You'll engage with experts across multiple disciplines, gather information from diverse stakeholders and help create the system-level understanding needed to deliver world-leading technology.

Whether your background is in aerospace, advanced automotive, defence R&D, nuclear, space, robotics or another technically demanding environment, this role offers the chance to apply your systems engineering skills to genuinely novel challenges.
What you'll be doing

 * Supporting systems engineering activities across major engineering programmes.
 * Capturing, managing and maintaining system requirements and ensuring full traceability.
 * Developing system architectures, functional breakdown structures and interface definitions.
 * Coordinating information across multidisciplinary teams including magnet design, cryogenics, electrical systems, instrumentation and plant integration.
 * Working with programme and technical leads to support informed engineering decisions.
 * Supporting technical reviews and readiness reviews.
 * Identifying, managing and tracking technical risks.
 * Developing verification and validation strategies for complex systems.
 * Defining and maintaining critical interfaces between teams, suppliers and external partners.
 * Supporting the continuous improvement of systems engineering processes, tools and methodologies.
