About the Company:
On behalf of an innovative company at the forefront of electrification in aerospace, we are seeking a Contract Systems Engineer to join their team. Established in 2021, this forward-thinking company develops and manufactures class-leading, lightweight, high-power, and high-torque-density electric propulsion systems for various aerospace markets, including eVTOL, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and General Aviation. Their mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric propulsion and help create a net-zero world through clean, noise-free air transportation.
As part of their growth, they are looking for a Contract Systems Engineer to contribute to electric propulsion system development, validation, and verification activities. This is a key role in the team's ambitious plans and involves working on programs certifiable under SAE ARP4754A guidelines, up to Functional Design Assurance Level (FDAL) A.
Key Responsibilities:
Contribute to new program and system concept design activities, including internal product developments and customer-driven applications, through to system/product launch.
Support analysis and management of customer requirements throughout the development lifecycle.
Assist in the creation of requirement specifications for sub-systems, suppliers, and customer/partner approval.
Author and support interface control documents to ensure alignment with internal and customer requirements.
Collaborate with simulation, analysis, and design teams to assist in system architecture design.
Evaluate system architecture suitability and provide recommendations where necessary.
Support customers, partners, and suppliers with systems integration of electric motors and controllers.
Develop system test strategies to ensure traceability and compliance with customer and system requirements.
Perform system Validation and Verification (V&V) testing activities.
Produce V&V evidence to support system certification.
Assist in resource estimation and risk management efforts.
Skills and Experience Required:
Degree or equivalent in electrical or systems engineering (or other relevant technical domain).
Proven experience in applying systems engineering principles throughout design, development, and delivery.
Experience with requirements and lifecycle management tools such as DOORS, Polarion, or codeBeamer.
Strong ability to manage system design complexity and ambiguity.
A creative problem solver with a logical approach to solution implementation.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
A flexible approach to work and an eagerness to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Self-motivated with strong determination to succeed.
Full UK driving licence and availability to support supplier site visits.
Desirable Skills:
Familiarity with aerospace safety analysis techniques.
Experience with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methods, using tools like Simulink.
Knowledge of motor control algorithms and their implementation.
Why Join This Team:
Be part of a pioneering company in a rapidly growing sector.
Engage in cutting-edge projects that are shaping the future of aerospace.
Work in a dynamic environment that values trust, autonomy, and professional growth.
Competitive contract rate for the 6-month contract duration.
