As a Systems Engineer, you'll work on advanced technologies where you’ll use your understanding of software, hardware, and consideration of the user needs, and a system’s environment to solve real-world challenges and produce real-world deliverables.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll contribute across the systems engineering lifecycle (think V-Diagrams and requirements management) supporting design and development through to integration, testing, and deployment, and operation. You'll provide technical delivery support and collaborate closely with clients to deliver robust, high-quality solutions.

This role offers the opportunity to work on impactful projects while further developing your technical expertise and leadership capability in a collaborative and supportive environment.

In this role you will:

• Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded/mission-critical systems. Having a strong focus on the integration and interoperability of systems. 
• Help define the high-level problem, and the ability to dive into the low-level to produce the technical solutions, that focus on addressing the real problem.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to solve complex technical challenges.
• Support project delivery within time and budget, supporting mission critical systems that must operate first time, every time.
