Description
We are seeking an operational, highly collaborative Systems Engineer with a robust hardware and network integration background to support the United Kingdom National Airspace System Replacement (UK NAS-R) program.
In this role, you will be the core technical catalyst responsible for translating complex infrastructure layouts into actionable, step-by-step technical and work instructions for deployment and support technicians.
By combining your hands-on infrastructure engineering experience with rigorous documentation planning, you will bridge the gap between high-level physical network architecture and ground-level field deployment, ensuring our teams have standardized, repeatable, and safety-compliant procedures.
Key Responsibilities
- Infrastructure Instruction Lifecycle: Own the planning, execution, scheduling, and maintenance of all hardware installation guides, cable matrix sheets, router/switch configuration scripts, and technician-facing work instructions.
- Hardware & Network Translation: Interpret physical rack elevations, network topologies, electrical interfaces, and port maps to author crisp, unambiguous procedures for field technicians.
- Data-Driven Process Optimization: Collect and evaluate operational data to identify bottlenecks in hardware staging or network configuration, implementing measurable improvements to repeatability and deployment efficiency.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Training: Facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions, train internal operations teams on network installation workflows, and author technical presentation content for cross-functional engineering updates.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Network Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline and 4-8 years of relevant prior experience. OR Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Network Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline and 2-6 years of prior relevant experience.
- Hardware & Network Domain: Proven hands-on technical background working with enterprise hardware architectures, network switches/routers (e.g., Cisco), structured cabling, and network interfaces.
- Engineering Toolsets: Advanced proficiency with modern documentation platforms, network diagramming software, and scheduling tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence or Visio).
Preferred Qualifications
- Direct experience with Air Traffic Management (ATM) environments, civil/military airspace infrastructure, or legacy UK airspace replacement systems.
- Familiarity with safety-critical software/hardware compliance environments and change management protocols (e.g., ED-109A/DO-278A).
- Industry-recognized certifications in networking or project delivery (e.g., CCNA, CCNP, ITIL v4, or PMP).
The pay range for this job is $87,100.00 - $157,450.00.
