Avionic Systems Engineer - Typhoon - SC Clearance - Outside IR35

An Avionic Systems Engineer undertakes the design duties to deliver Avionic Systems Engineering for Typhoon. This role will provide you with opportunity to gain significant understanding of Typhoon Avionics, working with a broad network of Systems Engineers, across the Typhoon engineering lifecycle, including operations.

Your Main Responsibilities:

As an Avionic Systems Senior Engineer, you will design and develop functional and detailed design for the Typhoon Avionics. This will include designing and evolving the modes and capabilities required by the Typhoon Weapon System, as it is iteratively upgraded to include new sensors, weapons capabilities and Avionics equipment.

As a senior engineer, you will operate with more autonomy and less supervision, assisting the Group Leader with discharging more of the team duty set, and acting to coach and direct junior members of the team.

Key Responsibility Areas:

Your key responsibilities will be, for a particular sub-system (e.g. D&C, IMRS). Roles are generally (but not exclusively) aligned to operate at functional, and detailed design levels. 

• Production and maintenance of Functional Requirements Documents, capturing functional behaviour (including interfaces) of sub-system equipment. For detailed design activities, development of associated schemes and algorithms. Review of System / Sub-System problem reports resulting from various sources such as System Integration Test Rigs, Flight Testing and Customer feedback. Documenting the analysis/results and maintaining accurate logs and status information. Support formal reviews in order to ensure correct implementation of requirements and subsequent designs. Analyse Sub-System failure cases, capturing resultant hazards and intended mitigations.

 Your skills and qualifications:

In order to deliver against key responsibilities the candidate requires the following skills and qualifications: 

• Experience of Design Tools / methodology (e.g. Statemate, Artisan, Rhapsody, UML & Doors) would be advantageous.
• Experience of JIRA Agile project management tool would be advantageous.
• Should be capable of deriving system requirements (with support from a line leader) from higher level requirements (Customer etc.).

• Must have previously demonstrated an ability to meet milestones whilst achieving the required level of quality.
• Must be capable of working within agreed standards and procedures and understand the importance of configuration control.
• Knowledge of the process for Hazard analysis (including Analysis Tool e.g. Fault Tree+) would be preferable, but formal and on the job training will be provided.
• Experience of working with equipment ICD's and definition of Logical signal level information would be advantageous, but on the job training will be provided.

 Qualifications:

A degree in a STEM subject or equivalent relevant experience / qualifications.
