Contract Systems Engineer / Control Systems Engineer
Hybrid
Aerospace / Defence
We’re working on a complex, long-term engineering programme where system behaviour, safety, and design assurance genuinely matter. This is an opportunity to contribute to the development of high-integrity control systems in a regulated environment, alongside experienced engineers who care about doing things properly.
The role sits within systems and control design - close to architecture, requirements, and safety - with exposure to real technical decision-making rather than document churn. It would suit someone who enjoys understanding how things work end-to-end, asking the right questions, and improving designs as they mature.
You could be earlier in your career and ready to step into more responsibility, or already established and looking for a programme with depth and longevity. Either way, the work is meaningful, collaborative, and technically stretching.
