Pigment is a change and transformation consultancy. We partner with other consultancies to deliver a "one team approach" for solving complex change across sectors including Defence and National Security, Central and Local Government, Transport and Finance.
We're looking for Systems Engineers and Test Engineers with strong Defence experience with an understanding of how the Ministry of Defence (MoD) operational processes and data come together to support a major Defence programme, working across system design, integration and testing within a highly secure environment.
This is not a conventional application testing role as you'll need to understand Defence business processes and be comfortable testing systems where data and workflows span multiple operational and enterprise functions across the J1-J9 spectrum.
What you'll be doing:
- Supporting system design, integration and end-to-end testing across complex Defence systems.
- Designing and executing tests that validate both technical capability and MOD business processes.
- Testing data flows, interfaces and processes across multiple functional areas.
- Working with operational users, technical teams and architects to understand requirements and resolve defects.
- Supporting integration, system and acceptance testing through to formal sign-off.
- Identifying issues, analysing root causes and working with delivery teams to drive resolution.
- Producing clear test documentation, evidence and reports within a secure delivery environment.
We're looking for someone with:
- Strong Systems Engineering and/or Test Engineering experience, ideally covering both design and testing.
- Experience working in MOD/Defence environments, with a good understanding of Defence operational and business processes.
- Experience testing command, operational, logistics, personnel or enterprise systems across multiple Defence functional areas.
- Strong experience with end-to-end integration and business process testing, rather than solely application-level testing.
- An understanding of Defence data, system interfaces and complex information flows.
- Experience working collaboratively with technical, operational and business stakeholders.
- Experience working in highly secure environments.
Why Pigment?
You'll work across high-impact, complex programmes where your work matters. At Pigment, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do; we value people who can challenge and deliver while working seamlessly across a blended delivery team.
If you're a Systems or Test Engineer who understands how Defence actually operates and can bridge the gap between technical systems and operational business processes, we want to hear from you.
Due to the level of sensitivity on this programme you will need to hold active DV clearance and a sole UK national to be considered.
