An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Systems Engineer, focussed on Integration & Test, to join a team developing advanced flight simulation systems used by pilot training operations around the world.
You will play a key role in system integration, verification, and validation, ensuring these complex simulators meet rigorous operational standards and customer requirements. This is a hands‑on position at the heart of a major transformation programme, ideal for someone who is highly motivated, customer‑focused, and eager to implement change.
Key Responsibilities
System Integration
* Lead the integration of hardware and software subsystems into cohesive flight simulation systems.
* Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design and execute integration procedures.
* Diagnose and resolve integration issues, optimizing system configurations for performance and reliability.
Verification & Validation
* Define and execute test plans to verify functionality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
* Develop and conduct test procedures to validate the accuracy and reliability of flight simulation systems.
* Produce detailed reports on test results, deviations, and corrective actions.
Customer Acceptance
* Act as the primary point of contact during customer acceptance phases.
* Conduct system demonstrations and customer‑specific tests to secure final approval.
* Provide expert guidance and support throughout the acceptance process.
Issue Resolution
* Respond to issues identified during testing or customer feedback.
* Lead troubleshooting, root‑cause analysis, and technical support to resolve complex system problems quickly.
Qualifications & Experience
* Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Electrical, or Systems Engineering, or a related field (Master’s a plus).
* Strong understanding of flight simulation systems and components.
* Proficiency in system integration, hardware/software interfaces, and performance testing.
* Experience with simulation tools and platforms (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, RTOS).
* Familiarity with standards such as DO‑178C and DO‑254.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills and strong analytical/problem‑solving abilities.
Desirable
* Experience with Full Flight Simulators, Flight Training Devices, or other simulation environments.
* Customer‑facing experience in system acceptance and post‑delivery support.
* INCOSE Systems Engineering training or certification.
* Knowledge of commercial and/or military flight simulation regulations.
Benefits
* 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays), increasing with service, with the option to buy/sell up to 5 days.
* Private medical insurance (optional family cover).
* Pension scheme with up to 7% employer contribution.
* Life assurance (4x salary, flexible up to 10x).
* Group income protection.Flexible benefits including healthcare cash plan, dental cover, gym membership, critical illness cover, and cycle‑to‑work scheme.
* Employee assistance programme for mental health and wellbeing support.
* Subsidised staff restaurant and on‑site parking with electric vehicle charging stations.
Additional Information
* Primarily office‑based (four days a week) with regular lab and simulator facility interaction.
* Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to next‑generation flight simulation technology, working with cutting‑edge systems that enhance pilot training and aviation safety worldwide.
