Job description
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach, being implemented for the first time on a UK submarine platform. As part of our growing team, you'll play a key role in integrating complex systems that support full submarine operations-critical to the success of one of the largest and most advanced defence programmes in the UK.
With this comes exceptional potential for career development, technical growth, and long-term progression within a world-class engineering organisation.
To attract the best talent, my client is expanding-and they're excited to be opening a new office in the West Midlands. We're actively hiring across multiple engineering disciplines to support this national mission.
What You'll Be Doing:
-
Designing and maintaining requirements, architectures, and system designs for complex technical systems
-
Creating SysML views to represent interactions between systems within the submarine platform
-
Supporting the development and effective use of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) artefacts across multiple product lines
-
Developing and owning key system design elements and related engineering products that contribute directly to customer success
-
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define system functions, requirements, and design elements for optimal performance in highly constrained environments
-
Breaking down complex designs into clear, manageable components for further development
-
Contributing to all stages of the project lifecycle-from planning and development through to delivery and operational readiness
Your Skills and Experience:
-
A degree (or equivalent experience) in a STEM discipline
-
Strong working knowledge of SysML
-
Hands-on experience with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools, particularly Enterprise Architect
-
Solid understanding of systems engineering principles and systems thinking
-
Familiarity with the engineering system lifecycle and standards such as ISO/IEC 15288
Benefits on offer:
You'll enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including:
-
A competitive pension scheme
-
Enhanced annual leave allowance
-
Company-contributed Share Incentive Plan
In addition, you'll have access to a range of flexible and supportive options, such as:
-
Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
-
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
-
Cycle to Work scheme
-
Retail and lifestyle discounts
-
Potential eligibility for an annual performance-based incentive
Please reach out for further questions, I would encourage you to apply for this role even if you feel like you aren't hitting all of the criteria!

Frequently asked questions
Why should you trust a specialist technical recruitment agency to find you your next role?
Using a specialist recruitment agency like Matchtech to find your next role is a smart move for a number of reasons. One of the main advantages is that it's a good way to cast your job searching net out wide. Recruiters often have a number of similar positions on the go with different clients, so if you're unsuccessful with one position, you can be put forward for many other vacancies at the same time, increasing the likelihood of you landing your dream job faster and with a lot less effort.
Does Matchtech take a cut of my pay if I use them to find my next job?
Absolutely not! We charge the end client for our services, not the candidate. So you can rest assured that there is no difference to your pay when being placed into a new role by Matchtech.
If I use a recruiter at Matchtech to find my next role, am I going to be bombarded with irrelevant job opportunities?
No not at all, when you register with us or apply for a role on our website, we will add you to our database. But this does not mean you will be bombarded with irrelevant jobs.
