  • Establish and mature stakeholder needs, associating/attributing priority, interest, influence, and trading-off needs to determine optimum capability to solve stakeholders' problems
  • Contribute to the determination of a solution strategy, including brownfield or greenfield methodologies, identifying and exploiting existing Leonardo services and solutions to ensure existing technology, processes, and subject matter expertise is re-used
  • Create the concepts and architecture for defined elements of the through-life support solution, taking input from the product design teams, as well as the functional subject matter experts (including supportability, obsolescence, data)
  • Carry out system functional analysis, modeling, and architecture development/refinement as required
  • Support the identification and establishment of Use Cases to perform Functional Analysis to help define the logical architecture of the solution
  • Work closely with internal and external stakeholders to ensure architecture alignment with other elements of the programme
  • Ensure the application of appropriate tools/techniques for systems engineering by the team, providing advice in own area of expertise
  • Resolve emerging issues by proposing and driving through solutions, escalating more complex risks and supporting definition of opportunities and risk mitigation options
  • Use the output of Operational Analysis (OA) to improve the solution design/requirements
  • Create and deliver reports and presentations to customers and industry partners
  • Contribute to the development of cross-cutting capability within the CS3 Systems Engineering function, particularly in the modeling/architecture space
  • Foster relationships and networks within and outside the line of business, actively seeking out opportunities and promoting a culture for adoption of best practice
  • Develop, coach, mentor, teach, and upskill other engineers in the wider application of systems engineering

Requirements:

  • Demonstrated experience of driving technical solution development within a multi-disciplinary team
  • Experience in capturing and analyzing stakeholder needs to help guide the development of service solutions capable of meeting the needs of future operational environments
  • Experience in adoption of MBSE approaches to develop service and product system architectures in response to stakeholder needs and requirements
  • Experience in generation of Use Cases and performing of Functional Analysis for requirements refinement
  • Experience of working across the engineering lifecycle, within one or more domains, with an understanding of how decisions made in the early lifecycle affect the later stages
  • Ability to balance competing needs using a range of methods such as trade studies
  • Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, with an ability to influence and adapt according to changing demands
  • Experience of working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders from a wide range of organizations, disciplines, backgrounds, and levels of seniority, including managing relationships with customers and/or suppliers
  • Ability to maintain engineering best practice, including looking externally to sources such as academia or other industries
  • Ability to explore and capture the problem domain without solution domain bias
  • Demonstrated ability to coach and develop others
  • Appreciation of how a system fits within the broader capability enterprise, for example, as a component of a system-of-systems solution and wider dependencies such as personnel and infrastructure
  • Self-motivated with an aptitude for problem-solving and driving difficult issues to conclusion
