Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Leads systems engineering for complex defense and cybersecurity projects, owning requirements, architecture, technical solutions, lifecycle processes, reviews, risk, compliance, suppliers, and customer acceptance. Provides technical direction across hardware, firmware, and software disciplines; manages systems engineering teams; serves as design authority; supports bids, security compliance, recruitment, mentoring, and line management.

Designs, develops, verifies, and troubleshoots digital and analogue electronics, including complex multi-layer PCBs, processors, programmable devices, and power supplies. Performs simulations, prototypes designs, supports production testing and debugging, contributes to design reviews, and provides technical direction across projects. The role may lead projects and mentor junior engineers while ensuring adherence to hardware development, security, cost, and schedule requirements.

Develops and coordinates compliant technical documentation, CDRLs, user manuals, administrator guides, installation and configuration guides, release notes, and proposal responses for DoD and commercial stakeholders. The role translates complex engineering inputs into clear, consistent customer-facing content, manages documentation schedules and contributors, maintains source files and published deliverables, and supports RFQ, RFP, and RFI responses.

Lead and deliver systems integration, verification and validation (IV&V) for hardware/software/firmware solutions. Create IV&V artifacts, manage test facilities/equipment, ensure safety/security, support qualification and external test houses, mentor engineers, and improve SE/IV&V processes.

Lead and assure implementation of ISO 15288 systems engineering across projects. Provide technical direction, develop SE artefacts, coordinate design reviews, manage customers/suppliers, estimate effort/costs, coach and line-manage systems engineers, and support proposals and security compliance for defence cyber cryptographic/key management solutions.

Design and layout complex multi-layer rigid, semi-rigid and flex PCBs (4-20 layers) for aerospace, space, security and commercial programmes. Work with hardware, mechanical, production and supply teams to meet signal integrity, EMC/TEMPEST, DFM/DFT and DO-254 requirements. Administer CAD libraries, liaise with suppliers, estimate effort, lead design aspects, and improve PCB tools and processes.

Develop, implement, document and test embedded and application software within a team for secure defence products. Work spans requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, verification, CI and maintenance. Follow secure development practices, contribute to software community of practice, and progress from SFIA level 2 to level 3 responsibilities.

Lead and provide technical direction for a 20–30 person software engineering team delivering embedded and application software for defence cyber programs. Define architectures, processes, CI/CD, secure development standards, mentor engineers, author technical proposals, ensure compliance with high-assurance and coding standards (e.g., MISRA), and coordinate with systems, hardware, and firmware teams.

Lead engineering delivery for programmes, managing systems engineering teams across lifecycle activities including architecture, integration, requirements, risk management, budgeting, scheduling, and customer/subcontractor engagement while ensuring security and standards compliance.

Build, manage and support air-gapped on‑premises VDI and core infrastructure across Maidenhead and Farnborough. Lead VDI migrations, optimise VDI performance and security, manage servers, networks and HCI, run incident/change management, ensure compliance and DR/BC readiness, automate tasks with scripting, coordinate vendors, and deliver strategic IT projects aligned to global IT strategy.
