Lytham St Anne's England, United Kingdom STR Group Full time £60,000 - £120,000 per year

We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Mission Systems Engineer to join a team developing advanced onboard computing solutions for a cutting-edge aerospace programme. You will work on secure, resilient systems, contributing to designs that directly impact critical mission systems.

You'll collaborate with a multi-disciplinary engineering team, helping to define system architectures, integrate hardware and software solutions, and ensure designs meet technical, operational, safety, and security requirements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support system-level design and architecture for onboard computing solutions.
  • Collaborate across internal and external teams, including international partners, to ensure designs are robust and aligned with programme objectives.
  • Develop, simulate, and verify digital logic using VHDL as a core part of system modeling and design.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to less experienced team members.
  • Apply systems engineering principles to support safety, security, and regulatory compliance in complex aerospace or mission-critical systems.
  • Represent the team in meetings with stakeholders, contributing to effective collaboration and problem-solving.

Required Skills and Experience

  • Degree (or equivalent) in a STEM discipline.
  • Proven experience in Systems Engineering and the engineering lifecycle, ideally in aerospace, avionics, or complex computing systems.
  • Strong VHDL experience is essential; Verilog or Simulink experience is also desirable.
  • Experience with hardware/software integration, modeling, and simulation.
  • Familiarity with Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA), system safety, security, or complex platform integration is highly desirable.
  • Strong interpersonal and influencing skills; ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Experience working on high-security or classified projects is advantageous.

Why Join?

You'll be part of a collaborative, forward-looking team delivering mission-critical systems in aerospace. You'll have the opportunity to apply your VHDL expertise and systems engineering skills to innovative solutions, working with leading engineers nationally and internationally.
