// Role Specification
About the Role
As a Systems Engineer at OMNIA Training, you will be instrumental in supporting the definition, integration, and implementation of system architectures that underpin complex Defence training systems and services. Working closely with the Enterprise Architect, you will ensure system designs adhere to configuration management processes, data integration requirements, and overarching architectural guidelines.
This role involves deep engagement with system and data architecture, the application of secure-by-design principles, meticulous configuration control, and strategic planning for the migration of legacy data into the Defence Developer Services (D2S1) environment. You will also actively contribute to governance forums, maintain essential system-level architecture artefacts, and guarantee traceability throughout the system lifecycle.
You will have the opportunity to lead and shape the architectural direction for trial and test activities, operating within cutting-edge simulation and integration environments. Close collaboration with engineering, acquisition, and operational teams across Defence is key to ensuring new systems are validated, interoperable with existing legacy systems, and fully aligned with strategic objectives. Your contributions will be vital in maintaining operational readiness, enabling data-driven decision-making, and delivering secure, scalable, and integrated simulation training systems.
What We Are Looking For
We seek a proactive and pragmatic Systems Engineer experienced in complex, regulated Defence environments, who takes ownership of delivering secure and integrated solutions. You will possess a strong understanding of translating technical requirements into real-world capabilities that are compliant, interoperable, sustainable, and effective for end-users.
Required Qualifications:
- Degree in Systems Engineering, Engineering, Defence Technology, or a related discipline.
- Proven experience as a Systems Engineer or in a similar role within Defence, government, or other complex/regulated environments.
- Strong understanding of system integration, configuration management, and data handling in secure, complex systems.
- Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and architecture notations like SysML or ArchiMate.
- Demonstrated experience in requirements analysis, traceability, and lifecycle support, including verification and validation.
- Experience with data integration and migration, including working with Government-Furnished Information (GFI) or equivalent third-party data sources.
- Understanding of data governance, data quality management, and Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes.
- Familiarity with Secure-by-Design principles, accreditation processes (e.g., RMADS), and relevant cybersecurity standards.
- Strong communication and technical stakeholder engagement skills, with experience contributing to design reviews and governance boards.
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience working with MOD or Army platforms, systems, or data environments.
- Understanding of through-life system support concepts (ILS, RAM, supportability engineering).
- Exposure to DevSecOps practices (CI/CD pipelines, IaC in secure environments).
- Awareness of safety and environmental assurance principles (e.g., ALARP).
- Experience contributing to technical assurance, system readiness, and integration trials.
As part of OMNIA, you'll have a mission focus and the drive to excel, working collaboratively with other defence training organisations and the British Army. We value individuals who prioritize the mission, learn from experience, and share knowledge effectively.
