Systems Engineer

Systems Engineer

Derby | 4 days on site | Full-Time | Permanent | Defence

A leading independent nuclear engineering group is looking for a Systems Engineer to join its Derby-based team on a major defence programme. You'll shape system requirements, interfaces and architecture, and you'll help keep safety information controlled and up to date across a large body of engineering data. They are looking for a graduate +3 years experience to deliver systems engineering across their client project.

The Role

Systems engineering

• Produce and manage requirement specifications
• Manage interfaces between mechanical, electrical and process systems
• Define system architecture and model system functions and interfaces
• Work with requirements management tools (DOORS preferred) and model-based systems engineering software (Capella preferred)

Safety data and configuration

• Coordinate safety information so it is managed centrally in a single DOORS safety module
• Model the safety case decomposition (Level 0 to Level 4) and maintain links to supporting evidence
• Produce metrics and status reports for senior leaders
• Carry out data audits and spot checks, and suggest process improvements

Collaboration

• Work with safety teams, engineering and technical staff, project management teams and document controllers across the programme
• Early priorities include updating safety goals, creating missing links between safety goals and safety functional requirements, and producing a major baselined versions of the modules. A methodical approach to large data sets matters however training in the safety process and DOORS will be provided.

About You

Essential

• Degree in engineering or a STEM subject, or equivalent demonstrated experience
• Three years' experience as an engineer or senior engineer
• Understanding of systems thinking and systems engineering processes
• Experience in a complex, regulated industry such as nuclear or aerospace
• Mechanical or electrical engineering background, or a clear desire and ability to move into systems engineering
• Eligible for SC clearance, and a UK national

Desirable

• Experience in the nuclear industry
• Systems engineering training or qualifications
• Practical experience using DOORS as a practitioner
• Familiarity with model-based systems engineering
• Awareness of relevant BS or INCOSE standards
• Safety case knowledge and experience with data import, input and link creation in DOORS

The Detail

Location: Derby, with four days a week on client site

Permanent roles are preferred, though umbrella contractors will be considered
