The role will involve being deeply integrated into all aspects of solutions development from specification and design through to development, delivery, and operations.

What you will be doing

• Defining and maintaining the total system architecture of the solution
• Contribute to the high-level breakdown of the system, defining the system interactions and interfaces, and the technologies and resources to be used in the design
• Understanding the requirements - identifying the stakeholders, helping to analyze the requirements and extracting those of architectural significance
• Formulating the design by defining and modelling systems architecture to ensure it meets the various functional and operational requirements, balancing the goals and constraints on the solution
• Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that defined systems and sub-systems are properly integrated and aligned with the overarching system architecture
• Implementing and overseeing system engineering processes and methodologies to improve efficiency and effectiveness

We think you should have

• Relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, computer science, or equivalent
• Proven experience with model-based systems engineering, preferably in the context of uncrewed or autonomous systems
• Strong knowledge of systems architecting and engineering principles, practices, and technologies

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

You are able to

• Act on your own initiative, make things happen, and accept responsibility for the results
• Communicate in English in a clear, precise, and structured way
• Use a methodical and systematic approach, plan ahead, define clear priorities, and allocate resources effectively
• Co-operate well with others, share knowledge, experience, information, and support others in the pursuit of team goals
• Contribute to a positive work environment
