The engineer investigates breaches, performs root-cause analysis, maintains security policies and documentation, prepares compliance reports, collaborates with technical teams, mentors junior staff, and participates in a 24/7 on-call rotation.

Lead and perform system safety engineering activities: record safety requirements, identify and analyse hazards/risks, maintain hazard logs, gather evidence for Safety Assessments/Cases, capture and resolve safety issues, and produce safety artefacts and reports to support project safety cases.

Lead systems engineering for large-scale naval communications programmes across lifecycle phases: requirements, solution architecture, design, IVVQ, deployment and through-life support. Provide technical leadership, manage multifunctional teams, maintain design baselines, mitigate technical risks, and produce design validation and certification documentation.

Lead technical owner for propulsion subsystems on satellite programmes, covering full lifecycle (Phase A–E). Run trade studies, define TRDs, develop analysis tools, manage integration, test and AIT activities, interface with customers/suppliers, and support in‑orbit operations and anomaly resolution.

Lead IVVQ activities for naval Combat Management Systems: develop and execute system test plans, support subsystem integration, produce installation and release documentation, support ship installation and sea trials, track and resolve compliance issues, and act as the interface between engineering teams, customers, and end users.

Lead low-TRL research developing hybrid physics-informed and ML algorithms for advanced signal processing and PNT in contested electromagnetic environments. Evaluate academic research, prototype robust state-estimation, anomaly-detection and fusion methods, provide technical leadership as Project Design Authority, contribute to bids, and mentor junior engineers.

As a Test Design Engineer, you will lead the design of test solutions for aerospace and defence systems, ensuring compliance with standards and customer requirements. You will collaborate with stakeholders and integrate testing systems throughout the product lifecycle.

As Hardware Engineering Manager, you will oversee engineering tasks, manage hardware development cycles, and lead team activities in a regulated environment.

Lead development of hybrid classical/ML algorithms for signal processing and PNT in contested environments. Design, implement and evaluate algorithms for sensor modelling, fusion, tracking, estimation and anomaly detection using C++, MATLAB, Mathematica and Python. Translate research into robust, deployable solutions, support bids and mentor junior engineers while ensuring solutions work on real-world adversarial data.
