MBDA Missile Systems - Deliver for a more secure tomorrow
Systems MBSE Architect and Delivery Lead
Systems Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Architect responsible for model-based design & requirements development with the opportunity to transition through to leading delivery of the actual functional capability into testing, trials and certification.

What would your responsibilities be?
  • Using MBSE methods to manage the systems lifecycle for the main processing equipment of a missile with a primary focus on the software hosted on this equipment
  • Acting as a primary point of contact into the various testing and trials teams who use the equipment, helping them to understand how it works and investigating issues they find
  • Capturing interfaces between systems in model format and autocoding these for multiple users as a single-source of truth
  • Facilitating and capturing the design for a "joint algorithm and software" architecture between subject matter experts
As delivery lead, you would also be responsible for:
  • Setting the strategy for and managing the incremental delivery of algorithms into a dynamically representative performance model, the auto-coding of those algorithms for integration into a real-time embedded software, and verification of the system through open and closed loop testing
  • Planning and tracking how requirements & user needs are satisfied from concept to design and facilitating the resolution of emergent issues found in implementation & equipment integration.
  • Reviewing and approving the software product as being fit for purpose, ensuring that company and industry standards & processes are applied.

What are we looking for?
  • Pro-activeness in communicating with others to resolve issues and reach consensus
  • Ability & willingness to take the lead in meetings and discussions where necessary
  • Adaptable to changing needs and priorities
  • Comfortable with ideas that are abstract and using own & other's experience to turn them into real working systems
  • Understanding of your own knowledge & limitations and when to ask & rely on others
  • Adept at taking complex problems and breaking them down into manageable components
  • Able to summarise complex concepts in a way that makes it easy for others to understand
  • Autonomy in managing your own work to achieve the team goals
  • Experience of using Rhapsody, Matlab and config control tools would be useful but not essential.

Join a great Team!
  • Work in an area that has a perfect balance of detailed technical design, collaborating with other engineers and opportunities for experience with real hardware
  • Gain exposure to a variety of domains many of which are niche & specialised, which will allow you to develop the breadth of your technical knowledge
  • Be at the cutting edge of model based systems engineering methods which are used as examples of good practice within MBDA on the wider industry in the area of systems-software architecting
  • This is a scarce skill area with associated career opportunities and clear development routes on both technical and managerial paths
  • Much of the work can be undertaken at home with some periods of onsite work needed
