Description
As a Systems Engineer, you will be part of a high-performing engineering delivery team supporting the sustainment and evolution of complex systems.
You will operate under general direction and be responsible for the reliable execution of assigned systems engineering activities across investigation, analysis, design, and change implementation within established engineering and assurance frameworks.
Working within secure and complex environments, you will apply sound systems engineering principles to support sustainment activities, system changes, and engineering investigations.
You will collaborate closely with software engineers, architects, project teams, and stakeholders to define requirements, develop engineering artefacts, manage technical risk, and progress systems through defined engineering governance and assurance gates.
This role provides the opportunity to contribute to nationally significant systems while supporting the continuous improvement of engineering quality, assurance, and delivery practices.
Key responsibilities include:
- Conduct engineering investigations and systems analysis to support defect resolution, capability enhancements, sustainment decisions, and system changes
- Define, develop, and implement Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) through established engineering gates and assurance processes
- Develop and maintain systems engineering documentation, including requirements, design artefacts, impact assessments, and traceability evidence
- Collaborate with configuration management, architects, engineers, and stakeholders to support change control, configuration integrity, and delivery outcomes
- Support verification, validation, and technical risk management activities, including issue escalation and design justification
- Ensure compliance with security, quality, engineering governance, project management, and ITIL-aligned service management frameworks while contributing to continuous improvement initiatives
