Senior Systems Engineer – Modelling
Location: Coventry (Hybrid – 2/3 Days Per Week)
Job Type: Permanent
Salary: Up to £52,000
The Opportunity
Join one of the UK’s most advanced defence engineering organisations at a time of national growth and transformation. As a Senior Systems Modelling Engineer, you will become part of a team responsible for shaping the future of underwater defence systems using cutting-edge Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices.
You will play a critical role in the early stages of complex programmes—applying your expertise to understand, visualise and optimise system behaviour long before a single component is built. This is a unique opportunity to help define and integrate models that directly influence how systems are designed, verified, and delivered.
Key Responsibilities
• Apply MBSE techniques to support the full engineering lifecycle, including requirements analysis, system design, verification and validation.
• Model user needs, system behaviours and interactions, influencing technical and operational decisions.
• Capture, validate and maintain design, proving evidence within the system model, ensuring accuracy and traceability.
• Integrate system-level models with wider platform architecture, ensuring cross-functional alignment.
• Report on engineering progress, address risks, and support recovery plans where needed.
• Lead modelling activities across bids, proposals, and strategic project planning.
• Mentor junior engineers in MBSE tools, techniques and best practices.
Required Skills & Experience
Essential:
• Strong experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering within defence, maritime, or similar complex sectors.
• Deep understanding of the engineering lifecycle, with practical experience in early-phase design and modelling.
• Awareness of engineering governance, safety, and environmental compliance standards.
Desirable:
• Hands-on experience with tools like Enterprise Architect (EA).
• Proficiency in system modelling languages such as SysML.
This is more than just a modelling role—it is a chance to lead technically, shape programmes from day one, and join a company at the forefront of strategic national capability.
