Salary : Circa
£55,000
depending on experience What we can offer you: Company bonus of up to £2,500 (based on company performance and will vary year to year) Pension of maximum total (employer and employee) contribution of up to 14% Annual salary review Paid overtime Up to 15 days flexi leave 25 days annual leave (plus holiday purchase) Fantastic site facilities, including subsidised meals, free car parking Excellent career progression and development opportunities Hybrid working pattern:
Where possible, we will seek to accommodate a blended approach to on-site and remote working. As a Functional Design Lead Engineer working on a Future Air Dominance project within the Future Products department; part of Missile Design UK, you will be assigned to work on the Future Air Superiority Effector (FASE) project. You will demonstrate and develop early phase design cycle skills combining core System Engineering, Business development, Customer & User engagements, technology applicability and new functionality areas. Develop & nurture skills for Concept Phase activities. This could include using System Design tools, such as DOORS for requirements, Rhapsody for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Design Maturity Assessments. Within the Department, you’ll tackle a variety of activities to develop Missile Concepts, support bids, understand technology roadmaps and deploy a range of working practices, such as Agile. What we are looking for from you: The confidence to embrace the uncertain nature of early concept development and technologies to progress towards defining solutions and system concepts; Good Systems Engineering knowledge, alongside the ability and desire to test new techniques and use new methods to develop concepts and complete system trade studies; Experience of weapons systems and missile design, particularly functional design and systems trade studies; A solid understanding of weapon systems, platforms and missile sub-systems; To be able to negotiate and influence a broad range of internal and external partners to secure the right outcome; Experience of planning and task management; Knowledge of DOORS, Rhapsody and systems design analysis tools e.g. Pugh Matrix / QFD / etc. Typical Activities include: Core Systems Engineering activities including: Exploring Customer needs to develop and elicit requirements; Support and influence the design of new concepts, to refine them with a multi-discipline team; Concept capability analysis and competitor product technical performance analysis; Trade Studies and assessment; Develop and deploy systems engineering methods and technical authorisation; Technical bid generation and support to contract award; Supporting customer focused Experiments, using a wide range of techniques and tools including war-games and synthetic environments; Supporting future weapon system planning and product roadmaps; Exploiting and influencing Research and Technology activities; Technically co-ordinate & drive activities across the Design Domain to ensure coherent & mature embodiment of the required system-level behaviour to time quality & cost. This will involve working across functions and departments to ensure a viable design; Perform functional analysis to decompose functional requirements into lower-level functions; Identify and conduct studies to mature understanding of required behaviour/performance and support requirement maturation. Work closely with the performance team to develop any modelling required; Functional and Performance Requirements and Functional Design at system and subsystem level; Identification and Capture of Functional Risks, Opportunities, Issues and Assumptions and their associated Mitigation strategies; Identification and conduct of Functional Trade Studies; Maturation of Functional Architecture & generation of Functional Interfaces.
