Senior System Engineer

We're looking for a

Senior Systems Engineer

to join an innovative engineering team developing and deploying complex electromechanical systems into safety-critical environments.
This is an opportunity to play a key engineering role in the development and deployment of

high-reliability autonomous systems

that are already operating in the real world.
You'll work across hardware, software, controls, operations, and certification to help scale the technology, improve reliability, and mature the systems engineering processes behind it.
As a senior member of the team, you'll have significant technical ownership and the opportunity to influence how systems are designed, tested, validated, and ultimately deployed.
Responsibilities

Act as a technical expert in the deployment of

high-reliability autonomous systems

into safety-critical environments, owning requirements, metrics, test coverage, and validation processes to ensure safe and robust system performance.
Own

system and subsystem requirements , including definition, decomposition, allocation, and traceability.
Define system interfaces and work across engineering disciplines to establish and manage technical budgets.
Develop frameworks and facilitate

trade studies

to optimise system architecture and operational decisions across performance, safety, reliability, and cost.
Evaluate hardware and software release standards, verification strategies, and test requirements.
Work closely with design engineering, systems engineering, test, and certification teams to demonstrate system safety and readiness for deployment.
Identify complex technical risks and develop practical, data-driven solutions across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Help establish and continuously improve

systems engineering processes

as the organisation scales.
Requirements

BS and/or MS in

Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering , or a related discipline.
5–10+ years of industry experience

developing safety-critical electromechanical systems, ideally within aerospace, autonomous vehicles, robotics, industrial automation, or another highly regulated environment.
Experience with

systems or vehicle-level design , rather than working exclusively within a single engineering discipline.
Proven ability to independently solve complex, multidisciplinary engineering problems and drive them through to resolution.
Experience using engineering tools such as

systems modelling, simulation, statistical analysis, or your modelling language/tool of choice

to investigate and solve complex problems.
Knowledge of designing systems capable of operating reliably in challenging environments, including

temperature extremes, mechanical vibration, ESD, and/or high electrical noise .
Understanding of both

fail-safe and fail-operative architectures , including designing systems capable of continuing to operate through certain classes of faults.
Comfortable working with

energy budgets, flight dynamics, reliability, and statistical analysis

to establish appropriate risk-based thresholds and system margins.
Experience developing or implementing

systems engineering processes , particularly within new programs, rapidly scaling organisations, or start-up environments.
Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical decisions across multiple engineering disciplines.
