## Description

As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will apply Systems Engineering principles across the full engineering lifecycle, from requirements definition through design, integration, verification, customer acceptance, in-service support, and system disposal. You will leverage your expertise to develop system and sub-system level solutions that meet stakeholder needs and regulatory requirements. The role involves resolving complex engineering challenges, providing technical leadership, and ensuring successful system integration and delivery. Working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams, you will drive coherent system design, support risk management, and contribute to continuous improvement, ensuring high-quality, efficient, and compliant engineering outcomes across a range of project scenarios.

Core Duties:

 * Apply Systems Engineering Principles : Implement ISO 15288 across the full lifecycle-from requirements definition through integration, acceptance, support, and disposal
 * Requirements Management : Decomposing and managing system and sub-system requirements using approved tools (eg, IBM DOORS Next)
 * System Architecture & Design: Performing system design decomposition, interface definition, and maintain architectural models in tools like CATIA Magic (Cameo)
 * Integration & Testing: Planning and executing system integration and testing, contributing to acceptance strategies and compliance verification
 * Technical Documentation & Reviews: Producing technical reports, presentations, and conducting reviews to ensure adherence to specifications and standards
 * Technical Leadership & Guidance: Working independently under limited direction, resolving engineering issues, and providing guidance to the immediate team
 * Maintain Contemporary Practices: Staying current with Model-Based Engineering, digital threads, cybersecurity, and safety procedures
