  • Lead system-level verification and validation planning, execution, and technical resolution activities
  • Perform system analyses, trade studies, and design optimisation to meet mission and operational objectives
  • Develop and improve MBSE methodologies, tools, and systems engineering processes across projects
  • Define robust FMECA and Fault Detection, Isolation and Recovery (FDIR) strategies
  • Ensure appropriate system margins, resilience, and fault tolerance are embedded into mission designs
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver integrated spacecraft solutions
  • Act as the systems interface across engineering, AIT, mission management, operations, suppliers, and external partners
  • Support bids, customer engagements, reviews, and operational decision-making with systems-level expertise
  • Mentor and support junior systems and engineers while promoting engineering best practice across the organisation

What You'll Bring
