Systems Engineer

As a Requirements Capture and MBSE Systems Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the development and implementation of complex systems, ensuring that they meet the specified needs and requirements of stakeholders.

This role requires a strong foundation in both traditional systems engineering practices and Model-Based Systems Engineering methodologies as well as a broad understanding of general engineering practices.

You will be responsible for capturing, analysing, and managing system requirements while leveraging MBSE techniques to create and maintain detailed system models.

Key Responsibilities :

Requirements Elicitation and Analysis :

• Supporting requirement engineering activities as directed to meet programme priorities (cost, schedule, performance).


• Attending requirement working groups for projects as required and taking minutes where directed. Attendance can include recording additions and changes to live requirement and model-based systems engineering databases to maintain configuration.


• Analyse and prioritise requirements to ensure clarity, completeness, and feasibility.


• Working with other technical disciplines (designer engineers and architects), in support of project delivery to capture, understand, and document programme requirements.


• Collaborate with stakeholders and suppliers as required.


Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) :

• Carrying out systems engineering modelling activities, as directed to meet project priorities (cost, schedule, performance).


• Develop and maintain system architecture models using MBSE tools and methodologies.


• Create and manage system models to represent various aspects of the system, including structure, behaviour, and requirements traceability.


• Utilise MBSE principles to enhance system design, analysis, and verification processes.


• Developing and managing model-based systems engineering databases, including linkage to requirements and external evidence / document as required.


Requirements Management :

• Support the development and management a requirements management system / database to track changes and ensure the integrity and provenance of the requirements throughout the system development lifecycle.


• Potentially maintain traceability of system requirements to design elements and components. (Procurement strategy dependent).


• Provide metrics and progress information to support the wider monitoring and reporting of systems engineering progress as directed.


This will include reporting of issues and impediments.

• Support to resolving conflicting requirements and ensure alignment with overall system objectives.


• Maintaining configuration control and support to change management impacts throughout the programme lifecycle ensuring that alignment between the requirements baseline, System modelling and design product structure at all times.


Collaboration and Communication :

• Foster effective communication and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, including Internal SMEs within the JPT, External suppliers, and other stakeholders.


• Present and communicate complex system engineering concepts and requirements to technical and non-technical audiences in a measured means for review and acceptance.


Verification and Validation :

• Potentially contribute to the development of verification and validation plans and the programme develops to ensure that system requirements are met.


• Collaborate with testing and validation teams to develop and execute test procedures based on system requirements and models.
  
  Bachelor's or Master's degree in a suitable engineering discipline, systems engineering aspects desirable


• Proven experience in requirements capture, analysis and management.


• Familiarity with industry-standard requirements and acceptance management tools such as IBM DOORS.


• A good understanding of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices and SysML.


• Familiarity with industry-standard MBSE tools such as Sparx Enterprise Architect, Cameo Systems Modeler, or others.


• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.


• Able to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams.


• Familiarity with relevant industry standards and best practices in systems engineering.


• Some knowledge of ship acquisition, manufacture, contract management and acceptance., The following qualifications and / or experience are not critical to the post, but may be used as a discriminator at either sift or interview stages if further down-select criteria are needed :


• Experience in the use of Dimensions RM (requirements and acceptance management tool).


• Experience in the use of Goal Structuring Notation (GSN), ideally within a model-based systems engineering environment.


• Engineering knowledge and experience appropriate to ship procurement.


• Knowledge of shipping certification, safety and environmental protection regulation and frameworks as they pertain to requirement setting and design assurance.


• Knowledge of security processes and frameworks as they pertain to requirement setting and design assurance.


Key Competencies :

• Analytical Thinking


• Problem Solving


• Systems Thinking


• Communication Skills


• Team Collaboration


• Attention to Detail


• Adaptability and Flexibility, Excellent communication skills, written and oral. Provides feedback of technical development and project delivery to the Principal Engineer and Project Manager


• Team player with leadership ability. Lead on assigned tasks and allowing others to lead as appropriate


• Capable of collaborative working with minimal supervision


• Focus on delivering quality on time and to budget


• Act with integrity and instils this in others


• Has an appreciation of wider technical issues beyond own discipline


• Sole UK National and Security Cleared


• Ability to travel within UK. Role may require offsite working at client sites.


Security clearance :

Due to the nature of work to be undertaken applicants will be required to meet certain residency criteria in order to attain a minimum level of UK security clearance if not already security cleared to a minimum SC level.
