Lead certification strategy and compliance for safety-critical avionics mission computing. Define compliance approaches, engage certification authorities, and support development and integration of next-generation combat aviation technologies, collaborating across industry, government and academia.

Lead hardware systems engineering for tactical communications, military computers and networking electronics. Support requirements capture, design analysis, subsystem specification, standards application, integration, test, supplier management, safety/security/ILS engagement and technical documentation across development and in-service lifecycles.

Support Project Managers by integrating cost, schedule and risk data to monitor performance, produce dashboards and automated reports, enforce planning and change control, and assist resource management and capacity planning for complex programmes.

Partner with business leaders to deliver strategic HR guidance across employee relations, performance, talent and change initiatives. Coach managers, lead talent and cross-functional HR projects, manage complex HR cases, and drive a high-performance culture to support business growth and engagement.

Lead development and verification of firmware (primarily VHDL) for safety-critical avionics mission computing systems. Work across full lifecycle, follow RTCA/DO-254, lead design reviews, support system architecture, and mentor engineering teams.

Work as a Test Engineer on avionics and armoured vehicle communication systems, diagnosing and repairing circuit card assemblies and assembled units, integrating complex test solutions, and troubleshooting test systems to component level. Collaborate with the test team and expand hardware/software expertise with opportunities for development.

Perform systems and cybersecurity engineering for LC5ISR-T: define requirements, design system security architecture, conduct vulnerability assessments, manage SPRs, support integration/testing, and produce SA&A and security artifacts to meet military/industry standards.

Design and prototype graphical user interfaces for embedded military systems within interdisciplinary teams. Create UI requirements, low-to-high fidelity prototypes, assets for developers, and documentation following development standards and SAFe processes.

Sell Tactical Communication and Information Systems internationally by engaging customers and partners, capturing technical requirements, delivering demos and POCs, supporting proposals and pricing, collaborating with product and engineering teams, and acting as a post-sale technical escalation and customer advocate while gathering market intelligence.

Lead end-to-end bid development for complex technical proposals: manage timelines, governance and stakeholder inputs; develop win themes and customer‑focused content; coordinate cross‑functional teams; improve bid tools and templates; ensure compliant, high‑quality submissions.

Support engineering development and full-rate production of complex military circuit cards. Perform circuit bring-up, LTSpice simulation, testing, characterization, root-cause investigations, component selection, and provide engineering support to manufacturing and test technicians under mentorship.

Drive international sales of TacCIS products by translating technical capabilities into business value, supporting proposals and demos, capturing requirements, enabling BD, and acting as post-sale technical advocate. Collaborate with product, engineering, and partners, gather market intelligence, and support pricing and POCs to meet revenue targets.

Lead and provide technical direction to engineering teams executing electronics hardware NPI projects for defense systems. Own technical accountability, coordinate design reviews, manage risks, interface with supply chain and customers, author deliverables, and drive product/process improvements while tracking obsolescence and material constraints.

Lead the engineering team to deliver complex integration work packages for military avionics and communications projects. Provide technical leadership, systems engineering oversight, risk management, supplier liaison, and coordination with programme management and customers to meet schedule, cost, and performance requirements.
