The opportunity:

MBDA invites you to join our Systems Engineering and Design Capability (SE&DC) department. This dynamic team supports projects through established model-based systems engineering processes, while also contributing to the evolution of our best practices to enhance efficiency and consistency across our UK engineering operations.

The department supports a broad set of systems engineering tools based on IBM's Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) environment, known as Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) in MBDA. Whilst much of the toolset has migrated to web based (including DOORS Next, Engineering Workflow Manager, Engineering Test Manager, Global Configuration, etc), SE&DC also support a set of thick client tools (including DOORS Classic, Rhapsody, EWM Eclipse Client, Method Composer, etc).

Maintaining a reliable, resilient, secure and performant systems engineering toolset whilst concurrently looking to exploit new versions with ever increasingly capability is fundamental to the success of MBDA projects, today and in the future. The role will involve liaising with multiple partners including software application suppliers (IBM in particular), MBDA's IM (Information Management) organisation, MBDA security, the wider SE&DC team and the engineering user community to continue to provide continuity of service across the systems engineering applications.

What we're looking for from you:

With a background in IT on thick client software application management, maintenance, testing, security vulnerabilities and OS updates, you will work closely with the IM organisation to manage the software applications that fall within SE&DC's remit to manage. Typical activities would include:

  • Client software version management – IBM's Rhapsody, EWM Eclipse Client, ELO-MEC, DOORS Classic, ELO-PUB:
  • Manage project dependencies on specific versions
  • Move projects to the latest version
  • Client software packaging instructions, coordination with packaging team
  • Windows 11 test campaign management
  • Security vulnerability – working with IM and 3rd party IT Contractors to monitor and rectify
  • Application function bud assessment and manufacture resolution (patch) monitoring
  • Support IM in upgrade of Servers
  • DOORS Server and Client side management and maintenance
  • ALM upgrade UAT campaign management
  • Supporting IM with ALM token management and user monitoring
  • MBDA's Grid Computing Facility (a High Power Computer) user support, compute node admin, working with IM and 3rd parties (Fujitsu, Wintel, Vodafone, etc) on head node support
  • Management and retirement of legacy applications
  • ALM Widgets and Add-on management and upgrades
  • ALM-PLM digital continuity adapter management & upgrades

Experience in the practical use of IBM toolset (Rhapsody, DOORS Classic, IBM ELM (ALM)) is highly desirable.

You should be eager to enhance your skills in Systems Engineering application management as the underpinning infrastructure and architectures evolve towards web based technologies. You should also have a passion to explore and exploit emerging technologies and their utilisation within the systems engineering application environment.

Degree in a relevant field and relevant experience post-graduation is desirable but not essential.
