Job Description

Senior Systems Engineer - MBSE Specialist | Complex Engineering Programme

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Systems Engineer (MBSE Specialist) to join a highly technical engineering programme supporting the development of complex systems within a secure and highly regulated environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong systems engineering professional with extensive Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) experience to play a key role supporting the development, optimisation, and integration of advanced engineering models that underpin critical programme delivery and engineering decision making.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering environment, you will be responsible for maintaining complex engineering models, supporting systems integration, improving reporting and data visualisation capability, and ensuring engineering systems remain accurate, traceable, and aligned with wider programme objectives.

This role offers the opportunity to work on technically challenging, large-scale engineering programmes while contributing to cutting-edge engineering development within a highly complex environment.

The Role

As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will support and enhance Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) capability across the wider engineering function while ensuring engineering models remain robust, integrated, and capable of supporting complex programme requirements.

You will work closely with engineering teams and technical stakeholders to manage engineering models, improve systems integration, develop reporting capabilities, maintain critical engineering databases, and support verification and validation processes across the wider engineering lifecycle.

✔ Experience creating technical dashboards, reporting outputs, and data visualisation tools

✔ Strong working knowledge of SQL databases, database management, and engineering data integrity processes

✔ Experience supporting verification and validation processes within engineering environments

✔ Excellent communication skills with experience working across multidisciplinary technical teams

Highly Desirable Experience

Defence, nuclear, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, or other highly regulated engineering environments

Digital engineering transformation projects

Systems lifecycle management and systems architecture frameworks

Safety-critical or secure operational environments

MBSE integration with wider engineering software platforms

Large-scale multidisciplinary engineering programme experience

What's On Offer

Up to £500 per day

Long-term contract opportunity

Immediate start available

Full-time on-site position based in Aldermaston

Flexible working pattern including 4-day working week or 9-day fortnight

Opportunity to work on technically complex, high-profile engineering programmes

Exposure to advanced systems engineering and cutting-edge engineering delivery environments

Why Apply?

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Senior Systems Engineer looking to work on highly complex engineering programmes where MBSE expertise, systems integration knowledge, and technical precision are critical to successful delivery.
