MBSE Practitioners

TN United Kingdom; Southampton; On-site; GBP 40,000 - 80,000

Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

- Are you a systems-thinker?
- Does solving complex problems using MBSE interest you?
- Would you thrive in a collaborative environment?
- Do you want to apply your skills to a complex problem domain?

Then we want to speak to you.

We are recruiting for a number of Model Based Systems Engineering roles, but wherever you go, you will work on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products.

Your work may be exploited into:

- The technology development platforms being developed by the UK’s Team Tempest to support the development of a new 6th generation aircraft within the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).
- Concept demonstrators for future Electronic Warfare technologies and systems.
- Air Platform Protection systems for export customer aircraft.

The Division researches, designs, develops and builds complex electronic systems, products and services for the global defence market of varying technical maturity from research through to in-service.

Dependent on the role and phase of work, we are able to offer roles that allow hybrid working, although some roles will require on-site working. Talk to us to discover more.

What you’ll do as a Systems Engineer using MBSE:

Our Systems Engineers work in multidisciplinary teams spanning a range of activities that help pull together all the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system. As a Systems Engineer, you will bridge the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.

We are recruiting for a number of roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based on your skills and foundation knowledge, we will assess where your knowledge and skills would best fit and discuss the options with you.

Typical work you might be involved in:

1. Perform use case analysis for requirements derivation based on various operational scenarios.
2. Undertake top-down system design, explore architectural options and complete trade-off studies.
3. Develop system requirements and translate them into subsystem requirements and interface definitions.
4. Participate in technical interchange meetings with internal and external customers, suppliers and stakeholders to agree the solution options.
5. Collaborate with implementation and verification/validation teams to ensure delivery of a fully compliant system.
6. Plan demonstrations and trials.
7. Technical reporting of key findings and recommendations for delivery to customers and industry partners.
8. Depending on experience, you may lead technical activities and initiatives, or you may mentor and coach other engineers.
9. Actively support knowledge sharing and exploitation of good practice.

What we need from you:

Ideally, you will have a science-based Honours degree or equivalent experience. You will have worked in industry or will have advanced academic research experience. We are not expecting you to have electronic warfare domain knowledge as we can provide support for that. What we are looking for are systems engineers with MBSE experience that we can build upon through training, team working and mentoring.

We want to hear from you if you have experience in any of the following areas:

1. Working across the systems engineering lifecycle.
2. Experience of engineering gate reviews and the associated assessment of design compliance.
3. Expertise with applying MBSE methods and processes to solve complex systems engineering challenges.
4. Proficient at requirements elicitation, negotiation and definition.
5. Awareness of agile development methodologies.
6. Strong numerical and analytical ability.
7. Ability to cope with a high degree of design complexity and significant levels of uncertainty.
8. Experience of supporting design/delivery teams to develop complex, technical solutions in accordance with plans and processes.
9. Self-motivated with an aptitude for problem solving and driving difficult issues to conclusion.
10. Excellent verbal and written communication/collaboration skills.
11. Experience of working with a variety of internal and external stakeholders of varying seniorities.
