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.
