System Engineer

System Engineer

CMC is supporting an on-site Systems Engineer assignment within the Swedish defence sector. This role will lead the technical development of a secure launch terminal, taking ownership of system architecture, requirements management, integration, verification and safety engineering throughout the full product lifecycle.

Working within a highly regulated environment, you will ensure the system meets stringent military standards, operational reliability requirements, and safety-critical performance expectations while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Day to Day:

• Leading the system design and technical architecture of a secure launch terminal from concept through to verification and delivery.
• Capturing, analysing and translating customer and operational requirements into Level 1 and Level 2 system requirements and technical specifications.
• Defining and managing hardware, software and communication interfaces, producing and maintaining Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Driving systems integration activities across hardware, software and external communication networks to ensure seamless interoperability.
• Developing and implementing functional safety concepts, including redundancy strategies and safe-and-arm logic to prevent unintended activation.
• Performing technical risk assessments using methodologies such as FMEA and supporting mitigation planning throughout the development lifecycle.
• Developing verification and validation strategies, including test planning, integration activities and acceptance testing.
• Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure compliance with military standards, customer requirements and programme milestones.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as a Systems Engineer within defence, aerospace or other safety-critical industries.
• Strong background in systems engineering, including requirements management, system architecture and technical documentation.
• Experience producing and managing Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and defining complex hardware and software interfaces.
• Experience performing safety engineering activities, including redundancy design, safety analysis and risk mitigation.
• Knowledge of Verification & Validation (V&V) planning, systems integration and qualification testing.
• Experience using structured risk management methodologies such as FMEA or equivalent.
• Swedish citizenship
