Senior Systems Engineer

Aerospace & Defence

Rochester, Kent

Up to £60,000 DOE

Be the mind behind the machines that keep the skies safe.

At the cutting edge of flight and safety systems, our engineers don’t just build technology — they craft precision, reliability, and innovation in every circuit and line of code. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you’ll transform complex ideas into lifesaving, real-world systems used across military and commercial platforms.

You’ll lead the charge on design and integration, mentor future talent, and help define how advanced systems are brought to life — all while working in an environment that values curiosity, collaboration, and clever thinking.

If solving intricate problems with impact excites you, this is for you.

What you’ll need:

• Proven experience developing multi-disciplinary systems (electronics, software, optics, mechanics)
• Strong knowledge of requirements management and MBSE tools (e.g. DOORS, MATLAB, SysML)
• Degree in Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics
• Passion for precision, innovation, and continuous improvement
