Senior Systems Engineer - Aerospace / RF Communications
Location: Market Deeping
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 + strong benefits
If you’re an experienced Systems Engineer in aerospace or safety-critical communications, you’ll know how rare it is to find a role where systems thinking genuinely drives the product.
This is one of those roles.
You’ll join an established engineering organisation delivering RF and aviation communication systems used in critical operational environments worldwide. Engineering standards are high. The work is complex. And your input will directly influence product architecture and long-term direction.
The Opportunity
This is a senior, hands-on systems role spanning the full development lifecycle.
You will:
Capture and structure high-level customer and regulatory requirements
Define and review system architectures and interfaces
Ensure clean requirement flow-down into hardware and software
Lead and support structured Verification & Validation activity
Drive best-practice systems engineering aligned to the V-model
Influence product coherence, commonality and future roadmap decisions
You won’t be boxed into a narrow slice of the lifecycle. You’ll have genuine technical ownership.
What We’re Looking For
Strong Systems Engineering experience within aerospace or other high-integrity, regulated environments
Proven experience across the full product lifecycle
Solid grounding in RF, communications systems or radio technologies
Experience with VHF/UHF, CNS or aviation communications is highly desirable
Degree in Engineering, Physics or related discipline (or equivalent depth of experience)
This is not an IT infrastructure role. It suits engineers who understand physical systems, integration challenges and operational reliability.
Why This Move Makes Sense
Stable, long-established engineering business
Products with real-world operational impact
Technical depth and long lifecycle programmes
Flexible working
25 days’ holiday + bank holidays
Up to 8% pension contribution
Private healthcare
Ongoing professional development
If you’re at the stage in your career where you want more technical influence, more ownership and a business that respects disciplined engineering, this is worth a serious conversation.
