What we're looking for from you:

  • Be a flexible systems thinker
  • Initiate and drive trade studies and system development activities
  • Have experience of developing complex systems, ideally in defence
  • Have the ability to communicate architectures and ideas at all levels
  • Understand elaboration of user requirements with the design authorities in response to their needs and constraints
  • Support functional design with requirement flow down through system/sub-system/equipment
  • Have the ability to disseminate technical information to stakeholders in an understandable manner
  • Have proven ability to lead complex activities and deliver the required output with agreed timescales
  • Attendance at Customer-level working groups would be necessary
  • Develop excellent working relationships with partners and customers/key stakeholders as well as team members and other departments
  • Desire to develop, build and grow the Systems Design team and the people within it as the project develop
