Join us and be part of Systems Engineering & Technology at GKN Aerospace. We are a growing team, with a mission to be the most trusted product and technology development and support partner to our internal and external customers, through our use of world-class people, processes and differentiated technologies.
We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer with a background in Electrical/Mechanical Systems Engineering to help shape the future of flight.

This is a very exciting and potentially career defining opportunity. You will be a leading member of the team embarking on a significant and challenging technology development project. This project will be a major steppingstone towards achieving the next generation of avionics for customer Tilt-Rotors.
The project will operate from our GKN facilities in Cowes, Isle of Wight. Alternatively, this role can be based at our Global Technology Centre in Bristol with visits to Cowes, Isle of Wight as required by the business (approximately fortnightly).
There is the requirement to be flexible with International travel within Europe and to U.S. (approximately every two months). We offer hybrid working, the opportunity to work from home up to two days per week dependent on the needs of the business.
For this opportunity we will provide a relocation support package (if applicable) to the Isle of Wight, for the successful applicant should this location be of interest.
