Where possible, we support a working pattern that suits your lifestyle and helps you reach your ambitions.


An opportunity has arisen for a Systems Engineer within Thales OME, the role can be based in Reading or Glasgow and depending on the specific project role may require some travel and time spent at other Thales sites, Customer sites or integration and test facilities.

  • Definition of the internal and external interfaces of the system
  • Development of test procedures to support the verification of the system

The successful candidate should be a good communicator who is proactive with:


  • Experience of working as part of a multi-disciplinary team
  • Experience in defining systems interfaces, boundaries and external factors
  • Knowledge of how to extract user needs and wants from a design brief
