Systems Design Engineer
Systems Design Engineer
We’re looking for Systems Design Engineers to join a growing engineering team working on advanced command and control systems. These systems play a key role in complex, real-world environments across both land and maritime applications.
This is a hybrid role, with around 3 to 4 days per week on site in Bristol due to the nature of the work.
** You’ll also be required to go through SC clearance for this role **
The role
You’ll be involved in the design and development of command and control software, supporting both upgrades to existing systems and the creation of new capabilities for a range of customers.
The work sits at the centre of the full product lifecycle, giving you the chance to collaborate with a wide range of teams including systems architecture, software, and integration. You’ll gain a strong understanding of how complex systems come together and how they are used in practice.
Day to day, you will:
- Support the functional design of software systems
- Work closely with system and software architects
- Analyse requirements and system interfaces
- Propose design improvements and solutions
- Explore system behaviour and performance, including complex algorithms
- Generate requirements for both software and hardware
- Investigate and respond to technical queries
The systems you’ll work on help users understand complex environments, make decisions, and manage operations effectively, often in time-critical situations.
What we’re looking for
- Experience in systems engineering or systems design, ideally within complex or safety-critical environments
- A problem-solving mindset and an interest in tackling technically challenging work
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams
- A degree in a relevant subject, or equivalent practical experience
What’s on offer
- Annual bonus scheme
- Competitive pension contribution
- Paid overtime opportunities
- Flexible leave allowance with additional days available
- Enhanced family leave policies
- On-site facilities including subsidised meals and parking
- Ongoing training and clear career development pathways
