• Lead and support trade studies, design decisions and technology selection
• Define and execute verification and validation activities
• Manage product requirements, verification plans and validation plans
• Manage complex product interfaces and interface control documentation
• Support integration of system components and resolve issues across system elements
• Identify technical risks and contribute to mitigation strategies
• Establish and maintain configuration control and system baselines
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation
• Provide technical leadership across systems lifecycle reviews
• Support project execution, business activities, customer success and team development

About You

You will bring a strong technical foundation and a practical, collaborative approach to solving complex systems problems.

You may be an experienced systems engineer, or you may come from a related technical background such as engineering, physics, software, electronics, mechanical systems, product development or production, with a strong interest in systems engineering.

You will ideally bring:

• Understanding of systems engineering principles across the full lifecycle
• Ability to analyse complex systems and understand interactions between hardware, software, firmware and operational elements
• Experience working cross-functionally with technical teams
• Exposure to requirements, design and test management tools such as Flow, PDM/PLM, Epsilon3 or similar
• Technical experience in product development, industrialisation, analysis or production
• Strong attention to detail, accountability and professional integrity
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively
• Strong planning, prioritisation and problem-solving skills
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong written communication skills for technical documentation
• Commitment to quality, safety and continuous improvement

Highly Regarded

• Space systems experience
• Knowledge of product safety, security and assurance
• Systems Engineering Certification, such as INCOSE
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, science or a related field
• Deeper technical experience in an area such as mechanical, electrical, physics or software
