Model-Based Systems Engineer UK - West Midlands - Fully on-site Aerospace/Defence Engineering - Digital Transformation Up to £50,000 basic My client is hiring for a new Model-Based Systems Engineer on a permanent basis to build their first ever Systems Engineering Team. This is a particularly exciting role because you'd have the chance to shape, develop and lead the adoption of MBSE practices over the next 5 year period. The Role: As a Model-Based Systems Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of a major digital transformation initiative. You'll take ownership of developing and applying MBSE practices, supporting colleagues in adopting new tools, and ensuring digital continuity across the lifecycle of complex engineering systems. Key responsibilities include: - Building and maintaining system models to support design and simulation. - Introducing and guiding best practice in MBSE methods (SysML, Rhapsody, Simulink). - Supporting the creation of "digital threads" and single sources of truth for engineering data. - Working with stakeholders to capture, analyse, and manage system requirements. - Leading projects that validate and verify digital models. Why This Role Stands Out: - First of its kind - you'll have the freedom to shape how MBSE is adopted within the business. - Impact-driven - your work will directly support the organisation's 2030 vision for digital engineering and business improvement. - Collaborative environment - you'll join an established modelling, simulation, and configuration team who will support your work. - Future growth - opportunities to expand into areas such as performance modelling, simulation, and structural analysis. What We're Looking For - Degree-qualified in Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems, or related engineering. - Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (2 years). - Familiarity with tools like SysML, Rhapsody, Simulink, Matlab, or Python. - Knowledge of digital engineering practices (digital thread, digital continuity). - Strong communication skills and the ability to guide non-technical stakeholders. ✨ This is an exciting opportunity to step into a pioneering role, driving digital transformation in advanced engineering. If you're motivated by shaping new ways of working and applying MBSE to real-world challenges, I'd love to hear from you
