Senior Systems Engineer

Ampthill, Bedfordshire | 4 day week onsite | DV Clearance required

Up to £64,000 p/a

Shape complex engineering programmes from the systems level

Are you a Systems Engineer looking for a role where you can work across requirements, architecture, MBSE, verification and technical studies?

This is an opportunity to join a high-performing engineering team at Ampthill, working closely with Programme Chief Engineers across a range of technically challenging programmes.

Your role will vary depending on the programme you support, giving you the opportunity to work across the engineering lifecycle rather than being tied to a single discipline.

What you will be doing

• Develop and manage complex system requirements
• Plan and support system verification activities
• Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) across programme lifecycles
• Lead and contribute to technical trade studies
• Support system architecture and subsystem definition
• Define interfaces, technical KPIs and system-level solutions
• Lead and coordinate engineering work packages
• Contribute to research and development projects
• Work closely with senior stakeholders, engineering teams and customers

What are we looking for?

You will have a strong Systems Engineering background, supported by a relevant degree such as Systems Engineering, Aerospace, Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.

You should have experience of:

• Requirements development and derivation
• Systems engineering throughout the development lifecycle
• MBSE and systems architecture
• Trade studies and technical analysis
• Working across multiple projects or work packages
• Communicating effectively with senior technical stakeholders
• Experience with SysML/UML, Cameo, Rhapsody, UAF/NAF, DOORS-NG, MATLAB/Simulink or similar tools would be advantageous.
• Experience working with software teams, research and development, modelling and simulation, AI/ML or complex engineering analysis would also be welcomed.

Why this role?

This is a chance to work at systems level on complex, technically demanding programmes, with genuine variety in the work you do.

You will have the opportunity to broaden your systems engineering experience, work with senior technical stakeholders and contribute to programmes where good systems thinking makes a real difference.

If you are a Systems Engineer ready for a role with more technical breadth, responsibility and variety, we would like to hear from you.

What is on offer

• Competitive salary  | Annual bonus | Excellent benefits package | Industry-leading training and development | Genuine career progression opportunities | Flexible working arrangements | Compressed 4-day working week (Monday to Thursday)

Security
Due to the nature of the work, this role is primarily site-based in Ampthill and candidates must be eligible to obtain DV Security Clearance, with SC to start, whilst going through the DV process.
