PRINCIPAL/SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEER
AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE INDUSTRY
BRISTOL
Excellent opportunity for you to join this world-class supplier of innovative, high performance actuation systems and equipment for the aerospace and defence industry.
As Principal/Senior Systems Engineer, you will be primarily responsible for ensuring the technical compliance of products through the negotiation of requirements, the generation of design and the management of the verification process. You will also be responsible for supporting proposals and submissions in order to provide an engineering input throughout the development phases of the project, across core markets as required.
In particular you will lead and undertake system responsibility for projects involving electronics, hydraulics, mechanical and software engineering to produce system designs of high performance and integrity. You will create sub-system design specifications and interface specifications which decompose the customers requirements from the system level specification. You will manage requirements, compliance and reporting using the deployed requirements management tool, i.e. DOORS. You will ensure that all designs satisfy the relevant Contract Specifications. Where appropriate, you will create stand-alone specifications for sub-contracts which reflect the customer's and HS-CL's requirements. If requested to do so by the Project Engineer, you will provide and maintain costing data in support of a project. You will check documents and detail from junior engineers, including sub-assembly, general assembly and installation drawings. You will supervise junior staff and guide the work of support staff to ensure the production of accurate, high-quality work and you will control the associated timescales and costs of their activities. You will identify the potential for improvement and contribute to the development of the Engineering analysis facilities.

You will also be responsible for developing the level of competency in design and analysis techniques in other engineers and designers. You will provide 'Support to Production' services including the investigation of queries raised through ECRs, NCRs Production Permits and Concessions and any other questions where production timescales are potentially adversely affected. You will carry out all tasks while working within the relevant Company Procedures. You will actively participate in the companys ACE (Achieving Competitive Excellence) and Standard Work initiatives, while focusing in particular on process improvement and the standardisation of processes across all projects. All employees shall comply with EH&S Policy, report unsafe practices or conditions to supervision for prompt resolution, attend scheduled EH&S training programs, actively support the meeting of EH&S targets and plans, and recommend improved EH&S practices wherever possible.
As a Principal/Senior Systems Engineer, you will be qualified to degree level in an engineering discipline or similar, and you will have substantial experience in the design and manufacture of control and actuation equipment. Experience in the design and development of military or defence equipment would be advantageous. Ideally, you will have experience of structured requirements analysis and assignment in a multi-disciplined environment. Experience of structured system design and development in a multi-disciplined environment would also be an advantage. A good understanding of digital signal processing and associated digital and analogue hardware is desirable. Experience or understanding of electro-mechanical/hydraulic actuation and servo performance and analysis would be an advantage. A good understanding of software, methodologies and tools, its life cycle and the associated problems and opportunities it presents would also be an advantage. Knowledge of aerospace or defence standards and working practices is desirable.
