Systems Engineer - Requirements & DOORS

Our client, a leading entity in the defence and security as well as aerospace sectors, is currently seeking a Systems Engineer - Requirements & DOORS to join their team on a contract basis. Based in Greater London, the focus is on developing world-class flight simulators that are shaping the future of aviation training. If you are a talented Systems Engineer with a passion for cutting-edge technology and a desire to work on projects that push the boundaries of aerospace innovation, this is the opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Requirements Management:
• Elicit, capture, analyse, and validate system requirements from stakeholders including customers, regulatory bodies (e.g., FAA, EASA), and internal teams.
• Maintain traceability of requirements throughout the systems development lifecycle (SDLC) using tools such as DOORS, Jama, or similar platforms.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• System Design & Architecture:
• Develop high-level and detailed system designs and architectures for flight simulation systems, including hardware, software, and network components.
• Define system interfaces and ensure interoperability between subsystems and third-party components.
• Create and manage system models using tools like SysML/UML or Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) frameworks.
• System Analysis:
• Perform functional and performance analysis of simulation systems, identifying potential design risks and mitigation strategies.
• Conduct trade studies to evaluate design options against performance, cost, and schedule constraints.
• Use analytical tools and simulations to verify system behaviours and performance predictions.
• Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC):
• Lead or participate in all phases of the SDLC-from concept, requirements, design, implementation, integration, verification/validation, and deployment.
• Support integration and test teams by defining verification and validation plans and criteria.
• Participate in technical reviews and audits (PDR, CDR, TRR, etc.) and contribute to configuration management and change control processes.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience in systems engineering within the aerospace or flight simulation industry.
• Proven experience in managing requirements and system design for complex, real-time systems.
• Familiarity with DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A, or equivalent aerospace standards is highly desirable.
• Experience with system engineering tools (e.g., IBM DOORS, Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Desirable:

• Experience with flight simulation systems such as FFS (Full Flight Simulators), FTD (Flight Training Devices), or other man-in-the-loop simulation environments.
• Certification or training in INCOSE Systems Engineering practices.
• Exposure to agile or hybrid development methodologies.

Additional Considerations:

• May require occasional travel to customer sites or test facilities.
• Office-based with lab and simulator facility interaction.
• Must be eligible to work worldwide and obtain necessary security clearances if required.

If you are an experienced Systems Engineer looking for a challenging and rewarding contract role in a dynamic aerospace environment, we encourage you to apply now and join our client's innovative team in Greater London.
