About the role
- Principal Systems Engineer at AtkinsRéalis working on critical national security projects in a collaborative environment. Leading systems engineering processes and integrating complex military and civilian systems for UK defense.
Responsibilities
- Lead and tailor the application of systems engineering processes (e.g. ISO 15288) across the full engineering lifecycle, providing direction and assurance to project teams.
- Apply and guide the use of MBSE approaches and tools (e.g. Sparx EA, Cameo), confidently using modelling languages and architectural frameworks such as UML/SysML, ArchiMate, TOGAF and MODAF.
- Lead requirements engineering activities, ensuring robust traceability through to verification and validation and managing requirement maturity and change.
- Build and maintain a strong network in the organisation to support the growth of the practice.
- Use your expertise and experience to develop the team through coaching and mentoring.
- Select, tailor and implement appropriate engineering lifecycles, balancing technical rigour with delivery pragmatism.
- Integrate complex systems across diverse military and civilian platforms (including submarines, aircraft, ships, vehicles, and advanced power and energy systems), addressing system‑of‑systems challenges.
- Lead technical work packages or small teams, operating within a range of development and delivery methodologies.
- Apply a working knowledge of the MOD acquisition framework, using Knowledge in Defence (KiD) to inform decision‑making and stakeholder engagement.
- Build and maintain trusted relationships with clients and stakeholders, clearly communicating complex technical issues to non‑engineers and senior decision‑makers.
Requirements
- Degree qualified (Level 6 or above) in a relevant STEM subject or possess equivalent depth of experience in an engineering field.
- Professional recognition with an appropriate institution, such as CEng or CSEP.
- Experience in selecting and using MBSE approaches and tools (e.g., Sparx EA, Cameo).
- Knowledge of modelling languages and architecture frameworks, including UML/SysML, ArchiMate, TOGAF, and MODAF.
- Comprehensive knowledge of engineering lifecycles, including their selection, tailoring, and implementation.
- A detailed understanding of the wider aspects of delivery, such as commercial, finance and planning.
- Experience integrating complex systems, such as military and civilian platforms (submarines, aircraft, ships, vehicles), civilian aircraft systems, and advanced power and energy systems.
- Ability to apply systems engineering processes (e.g., ISO 15288:2023) across the lifecycle.
- Proven track record in managing projects and teams across various development methods.
- Deep understanding of engineering within the MOD’s acquisition framework and Knowledge in Defence (KiD).
- Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships.
- Ability to understand, simplify, and explain subject matter to non-engineers and senior stakeholders.
