We are currently seeking a Senior Complex Systems Engineer to join our Digital Systems Assurance group. This is an opportunity for a seasoned systems engineer or assurance consultant to make a strategic impact across high-profile, technically demanding projects. From shaping the future of next-generation autonomous air systems to assuring the safe integration of complex avionics upgrades, your work will directly influence the success of national and global programmes.
Why Join Us?
This is more than just a technical role. You’ll enjoy the variety and challenge of a consultancy environment—guiding clients through complex problems and shaping innovative solutions that meet stringent safety and certification requirements.
You'll work closely with industry leaders—from MOD and OEMs to Primes and regulators—and influence the direction of both new and in-service systems. If you're looking for a role that combines deep technical complexity with leadership and business impact, this is the right step.

As a Senior Complex Systems Engineer, you will:
* Lead the development and assurance of safety-critical system architectures and designs.
* Provide strategic systems engineering direction and guidance on project delivery.
* Engage directly with senior stakeholders to shape and deliver technical strategies.
* Develop and review artefacts supporting safety and regulatory compliance (e.g. ARP4754A, DO-178C, DO-254).
* Translate client objectives into deliverable engineering solutions, integrating systems engineering, safety, and certification processes.
* Support business development through opportunity capture and proposal leadership.
* Work on cutting-edge projects which may include integration of autonomous air systems and national programmes such as INVICTUS.
Who We’re Looking For
You’re an experienced engineer or consultant with:
* A proven track record in safety-critical systems development, assurance, or certification, ideally across aerospace, defence, or high-integrity domains.
* In-depth knowledge of standards such as ARP4754A, DO-178C, DO-254, DO-326A, IEC 61508, and/or MOD standards (00-055, 00-056).
* Proficiency with MBSE, architecture modelling, and tools such as Cameo, Sparx EA, and SysML/UML.
* Experience operating within MOD acquisition frameworks or supporting industry primes/OEMs.
* Strong project leadership, communication, and client engagement skills.
You May Also Bring
* Chartered Engineer (CEng) or working toward registration.
* A degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Experience influencing system design and assurance strategy at programme level.
