Systems Engineer - Air Traffic Management System (Contract)

Primary Purpose of the Role:

In this role, you will be part of a major Air Traffic Management (ATM) delivery programme to the UK MOD.

The scope of delivery covers the provision of integrated surveillance assets including static, deployed and other radar systems, communications equipment, network capability and centralised ATM capability.

The role will be broad in technical coverage and successful implementation of the system architecture will be a primary aspect of the delivery.

The sub-systems are in the domains of sensors, communications and networks. This will require the appointed systems engineer(s) to provide support to the SEM to ensure the successful delivery and integration of technical solutions.

Key Responsibilities and Tasks:

• Perform sub-system requirements traceability from the stated customer needs via the contractual requirements documents needs to overall integrated solution. This includes the integration and performance assessments in the context of the overall system
• Co-ordinate with other technical inputs to ensure system solution compliance
• Support the integration, validation, verification of the successful sub-system implementation
• Actively manage technical risks of the appropriate sub-systems
• Agrees technical specifications for sub-system procurements and actively reviews solutions
