Poole, Dorset
Due to the nature of the work, applicants must have full right to work in the UK. This role operates within a regulated, safety critical environment and may require additional background screening.
We are working with a well-established engineering business operating within a highly regulated, safety critical sector. The company delivers complex engineered systems into high integrity environments, with projects that demand robust design, traceability, and technical leadership throughout the full lifecycle. They are deliberately low profile, but highly respected in their field.
It would suit a Systems Engineer with around five years’ experience looking to step up, or a more experienced Systems Engineer ready to take technical ownership of larger work packages. The Systems Engineer will sit at the heart of project delivery, acting as the bridge between customer requirements and internal engineering teams.
As a Systems Engineer, you will:
Be comfortable in/lead various sized projects
Plan and coordinate engineering activities across multiple functions
Act as the technical interface with customers, translating requirements into deliverable solutions
Manage requirements, validation, system design, development, integration, verification and qualification
Lead and present design reviews and support gated lifecycle processes
Identify and manage technical risks and opportunities
Ensure configuration control, change management and full traceability of design decisions
Support and guide junior engineers and contribute to technical development within the team
Work closely with engineering leadership and programme teams to ensure projects are properly resourced
The successful Systems Engineer will have:
A degree in a relevant engineering discipline, HNC or apprenticeship with strong experience also considered
A minimum of 5 years’ experience in an engineering environment
Experience across mechanical, electromechanical, fluid, structural or broader systems development
Strong understanding of engineering lifecycles within a regulated or safety critical sector
Confidence in technical report writing and presenting at design reviews
Clear communication skills, both customer facing and internally
A proactive, solutions focused mindset
Previous experience contributing to schedules and working alongside project management
This Systems Engineer role offers:
Salary from £40,000 up to £58,500 depending on experience
Bonus scheme
Pension
Onsite parking
Hybrid working options
Long term development opportunities within a technically challenging environment
