Systems Engineer

Overview

Systems Engineer role supporting the definition, analysis, integration and verification of Enterprise Supply Chain Services (ESCS) capabilities, maintaining the technical integrity of the end-to-end solution.

What you'll do

• Elicit, analyse, decompose and manage functional and non-functional system requirements, maintaining traceability through design, integration, verification and acceptance.
• Develop and maintain system models, functional and logical views, interface definitions and Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Analyse end-to-end system interactions, data flows, dependencies, constraints and behaviours across ESCS capabilities and external systems.
• Undertake system-level analysis and modelling of non-functional characteristics, including availability, reliability, performance, capacity, resilience and recoverability.
• Work with architects, software, data, cloud, security, test and supplier teams to ensure designs and implementations remain aligned with system requirements and defined interfaces.
• Support verification and validation activities, including definition of acceptance criteria against requirements and requirements-to-verification traceability, and verification through analysis and inspection techniques.
• Identify, analyse and manage technical risks, assumptions, dependencies, issues and opportunities within assigned areas.
• Contribute engineering evidence to technical reviews, design reviews, integration readiness and capability acceptance.
• Maintain systems engineering artefacts under appropriate configuration and change control.

What you'll need

• Systems engineering across the engineering lifecycle.
• Requirements engineering, decomposition and traceability for both functional and non-functional domains.
• System architecture and functional analysis.
• Interface definition and production of interface specifications (Interface Control Documents).
• System modelling and Model-Based Systems Engineering principles.
• Functional and non-functional requirements analysis.
• Availability, reliability, performance and capacity analysis.
• Application and planning of verification and validation methods for requirements.
• Technical risk, assumption and dependency management.
• Strong use of engineering best practice, including engineering methodologies, expert configuration and change control and secure systems engineering principles.
• Clear and proficient written and verbal communication.
• Systems engineering experience on complex, software-oriented systems self-hosted within public and private cloud platforms.
• Experience developing and managing system requirements in line with INCOSE best practice and maintaining traceability to design and verification compliance evidence throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Experience defining interfaces between systems, applications or services and producing associated interface documentation.
• Experience applying modelling or analytical techniques to understand system behaviour, dependencies or non-functional characteristics.
• Experience supporting system integration, verification and technical assurance in a multidisciplinary engineering environment.
• Ability to work independently within an assigned engineering scope and collaborate effectively with architects, software engineers, test engineers, suppliers and other engineering disciplines.

Nice to have

• Solutions hosted across hyperscaler platforms; preferably AWS.
• Complex systems integration programmes that include enterprise SaaS and Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems.
• Supply chain, procurement, order management, logistics or ERP-related systems.
• Model-Based Systems Engineering and appropriate modelling notation/tooling, such as SysML 1.6, SysML 2.0 or Archimate.
• Availability, reliability, capacity or performance modelling of distributed systems.
• Experience working within multidiscipline agile or hybrid engineering delivery environments.
• Public sector, defence or security-conscious environments.
• INCOSE ASEP/CSEP, Chartered Engineer or equivalent professional development towards recognised systems engineering accreditation.
• Previous experience with business process modelling using BPMN 2.0.

Details
