• Work closely with Requirements and Integration teams to support the development and refinement of system and subsystem requirements.
• Support system integration, testing, verification and validation activities.
• Take ownership of architecture activities and deliverables within agreed programme timescales and milestones.

The successful Systems Architect will bring:

• Experience developing system behaviours, functions and logical and physical architectures.
• An understanding of requirements, integration, verification and validation across the engineering lifecycle.
• The ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary technical stakeholders.
• Experience working within structured systems engineering processes and delivering against programme milestones.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Systems Architect or senior Systems Engineer with strong architecture and MBSE experience to contribute to a complex engineering programme on an initial six-month contract.
