BAE Systems Digital Intelligence
Gloucester, Gloucestershire
Are you passionate about working with cutting edge technology and owning the design and engineering on projects delivering solutions that are central to our customer's missions? Join BAE Systems as a Systems Engineer. We are looking for people with strong focus on network infrastructure and security architecture. As a Systems Engineer you'll be working with our customers to own the solution design and engineering methods of their core mission applications, defining innovative solutions to problems, underpinned by robust delivery and engineering methods to deliver capabilities that are not only essential to their business, but they'll love to use. You'll never get bored, with no two projects being the same, but you'll bring your experience from other systems to each challenge to ensure our deliveries and an enduring success. You'll enjoy working as part of a team, typically being the most senior technical person on a project working with other architects, engineers and business analysts to get the best out of the team, allowing everyone to contribute the skillsets. You will be an excellent communicator both internally within your project, as well as externally to senior customer stakeholders to facilitate decision making and co-ordinate design activities with related teams. You'll also will be responsible for ensuring that the solution meets its functional and non-functional requirements, and the correct application of relevant technologies, processes and tool chains. You'll need to ensure that these various components and sub-systems work together both technically as well as operationally, from a customer mission perspective. Your experience will cover software design, infrastructure, delivery methods and engineering approaches. You won't be expected to be an expert in them all, but you should know enough about each to make informed decisions on the best approach to follow for each. You'll be empowered to make decisions but will be part of a community of systems engineers and engineers to bounce ideas off of and get assurance where you need it. You will be resilient under pressure and have the ability to manage multiple assignments independently, and importantly you'll enjoy taking on a loosely defined task and using a mixture of internal and external sources to find a solution, implement it and repeat the process until the task is complete. Not only will your team be directly making a huge impact upon the systems you work on, you'll be doing it for an organisation who makes a huge impact to the security of the UK. You will have experience in the majority of the following: Elaborate the requirements for the Engineering teams needed to meet the customer requirements Designs the specific solution to meet the customer requirements (and any derived/internal requirements) Awareness and application of security considerations (CIS hardening, security by design, NCSC principles) Awareness of Cross Domain and cloud technologies Experience of interacting and presenting to both internal and external stakeholders to understand, influence and shape requirements and solution approaches Manage solution scope externally and internally Ensuring the design meets key functional and in particular non-functional requirements, enabling through life scenarios of the solution to be satisfied Shaping and driving solution thinking for complex bids and delivery engagements Shaping solution designs following a structured methodology as appropriate to the project Overseeing the implementation of the design in collaboration with other team members such as Application and Security Architects Working with customer technical authorities to ensure that they have a clear understanding of architecture and design proposals at an appropriate level Working with Engineering teams to promote good practice in engineering methods, eg development, automation and testing Retaining overall ownership of solution through bid, delivery and transition into operation Leading estimation efforts to develop an understanding of potential solution costs and delivery timescales Take responsibility for the specification, flow-down and acceptance of sub-system / component requirements to internal development teams. Own and manage technical and solution risks as well as working to reduce and mitigate them. Life at BAE Systems Digital Intelligence We are embracing Hybrid Working.

We're growing our team! Our platform engineers help design and build applications for a range of critical public & government services and we need more passionate individuals to help that mission. You will be working at the cutting edge of cloud technology and solutions as part of a vibrant and inclusive team that fosters positivity and development at its centre. You will work across a range of projects and services, interacting with a wide variety of stakeholders to build common platforms, tooling and processes at various stages of the software development lifecycle. We're agile by default and we introduce and operate practices such as continuous deployment to support live applications. We strive to create solutions that are reusable, scalable and driven by automation. You'll be joining a team that understands that you get the best from people by encouraging them to be themselves and by allowing creativity to flourish. We support this by empowering our teams to own a solution throughout the development lifecycle whilst providing senior engineering support where needed.
