Systems Engineer
Must have or be able to gain SC security clearance
Overview
Quantum physics and the technologies that are being developed from it have the potential to disrupt numerous existing markets as well as open up completely new ones. Key to taking these exciting developments from the experimentation stage in to products with real world applications is a structured systems engineering approach, ensuring that the needs of the end users are met.
Operating as an agile and dynamic group within a well-respected and long established technology company, my clients Quantum Technologies team is working to bring cutting edge concepts in quantum physics out of the lab and develop industrialised products to sell in to this growing market.
Position Summary and Responsibilities:
Apply robust Systems engineering principles to complex, interdisciplinary projects across the complete engineering lifecycle
Develop, flow down and manage requirements from stakeholder to system and sub-system level, including sign off and verification
Develop key documentation such as systems architectures, interface control documents and reports
Lead the systems engineering contribution to the design review process
Apply and promote configuration management across the projects
Work with the other engineering functions and scientists to develop robust solutions that meet the needs of the customer
Work with sub-contractors, suppliers and customers where necessary to improve their systems engineering approaches
Maintain excellent levels of communication between all parties involved in any particular project, internally and externally
Become a source of knowledge for the rest of the team for whole system design
