About the Role

Here at MBDA, our Land Ceptor Systems Engineering team is expanding to support the British and Polish Armies in fulfilling the full potential of the system, and to extend and tailor the capability for existing and emerging export contracts. The recent commencement of the NAREW export contract for Poland, alongside the support of the British Army system and production of systems for other contracts, sees the Land Ceptor functional development team needing to grow to support this varied portfolio.

As a Systems Engineer within the Functional Development team, you will be involved in:

  • Deriving suitable system, subsystem, and software requirements to meet those needs.
  • Informing product line approaches to allow a common suite of products to meet different customer needs.
  • Determining and managing processes and procedures to manage change in a controlled way.
  • Acting as customer for specific software items.

What we're looking for

  • Requirements management and derivation experience (ideally in defence).
  • Experience of system engineering tools e.g. DOORS/DOORS NG/Rhapsody.
  • Ability to disseminate/share technical information to customers in an understandable manner.
  • Engineering change control and management experience.
  • Ability to initiate/undertake and drive trade studies and system development activities.
  • Experience of developing complex systems (ideally in defence).
  • Ability to communicate architectures and ideas at all levels.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience of working with product lines would be beneficial.

This role will have a real impact on what we deliver to our customers, current and future.
