In this role, you won't be limited to a single task or phase of the lifecycle. You'll gain genuine variety, contributing to work from early concept development through to integration and delivery.

You'll work as part of multi‑disciplinary teams, supporting technical decision‑making and helping ensure system elements come together coherently. You will typically work on the definition and management of requirements, underpinned by a Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. This will enable you to support design, analysis and verification activities using modern, digital engineering methods as you continue to build your capability and experience.

You'll work closely with stakeholders at every level, from engineers to senior leaders, influencing outcomes and shaping solutions that make a real difference. And because these programmes are critical to national security, you'll know that your contribution has impact far beyond the office.
