Principal or Senior Systems Engineer
Job Description
Principal or Senior Systems Engineer – Advanced Naval Platforms
Help shape next‑generation ship designs. You’ll lead systems engineering across requirements, architecture, configuration and V&V—turning complex stakeholder needs into clear, traceable engineering evidence from concept through acceptance.
What you’ll do
Own end‑to‑end requirements capture and management—validated, traceable and maintained through the lifecycle.
Set the systems engineering approach (SEMP), governance and lifecycle strategy for complex naval programmes.
Define and lead the Verification & Validation strategy, methods and acceptance criteria.
Lead development and control of system/subsystem specifications and interface definitions.
Create and govern architecture modelling (use cases, functional/logical/physical architectures, behaviour and data flows).
Strengthen configuration and traceability in the PLM environment (Siemens Teamcentre) across requirements, architectures and V&V artefacts.
Build compliance evidence against naval ship rules, legislation and international standards.
Provide technical leadership—mentor others and steer decisions with internal and external stakeholders.
What you’ll bring
Strong, hands-on systems engineering experience in naval/marine (or similarly regulated, safety/assurance-led environments).
Confidence owning architecture, requirements, interfaces, configuration control and change management.
MBSE experience (and a pragmatic approach to modelling for decision support).
Comfort working across disciplines and influencing senior stakeholders.
Degree in Systems/Electrical/Control Engineering (or related). Master’s and/or INCOSE CSEP/ESEP (or equivalent) is a plus.
Exposure to digital technologies (automation, autonomy, digital twins, AI, predictive diagnostics, smart maintenance) is welcome.
Ability to complete BPSS security checks; eligibility for SC clearance may be required depending on project.
Working pattern Standard office environment in Bristol, with occasional travel/overnight stays depending on programme needs.
Everyone’s welcome. If you’re excited by the role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
