This role will focus on the development of Airborne RF Electronic Warfare (EW) sub-system products to be integrated within a larger EW system architecture. The role entails applying knowledge and experience of systems engineering to support the design and development of this system.

A role within the Combat Air Systems Engineering team will provide exposure to a wide-variety of EW products and subject-matter experts with expertise within domain, product, and technology fields.

What you will do

• Define system requirements and influence architectures for an advanced EW RF sub-system, in particular focussing on the processor sub-system providing command and control of other functional sub-systems.
• Ownership of a sub-system work package, planning and scheduling your own workload.
• Develop and document detailed requirement and design specifications suitable to inform and guide the systems implementation teams.
• Contribute to the product development roadmap in collaboration with other subject matter experts.
• Provide technical advice and support to other functional teams such as firmware and software with development of requirements, system operability and test & evaluation.
• Produce and collate evidence to demonstrate system compliance with design and requirements specifications
• Travel within the UK to meet with our customers and industry partners to support requirements collaboration, experimentation and reviews of design maturity.

What we're looking for

• A solid foundation in a relevant technical domain exploited in an EW systems context/application.
• High proficiency in requirements generation and management using IBM DOORS.
• Experience of authoring detailed design artefacts in support of requirements specifications.
• Good understanding of design compliance and acceptance criteria relating to requirements and architecture progressive verification and validation at varying stages of maturity.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles across the development lifecycle.
• Previous experience of technical leadership of complex products.
• Ability to perform effective interface control management, both in terms of application and derivation, at a sub-system, system and system-of-system levels including the generation of interface control documents.
• Self-motivated with an aptitude for problem solving and driving challenging issues to a conclusion alongside excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• Ability to obtain SC Clearance for UK-caveated programmes.

Desirable:

• Experience of systems modelling using Matlab & Simulink.
• Experience with product design and test standards for military systems.
• Experience in the design of adaptable, flexible and secure system architectures.
• Experience in signal processing engineering.
• Knowledge and application of the software development lifecycle.
• Awareness of agile development methodologies.
