Senior Ship Control & Automation Engineer

Bristol, UK | Navantia UK
Full-time | Part-time considered | Hybrid working

Drive the intelligence behind the next generation of digital naval ships.

Navantia UK is seeking an experienced Senior Ship Control & Automation Engineer to lead the definition, integration and assurance of automation, control and ship systems monitoring across major naval and maritime programmes.

This is a pivotal system‑level role, sitting at the centre of platform architecture and digital engineering — ensuring coherence between ship design, automation suppliers and advanced simulation environments.

As part of the global Navantia Group, you’ll help specify and integrate novel technologies that reduce crewing, increase availability, and enable highly automated vessels of the future.

Developing the Control & Instrumentation (C&I) and automation strategy aligned to platform and performance goals
Defining and owning automation architectures, standards, specifications and functional descriptions
Acting as the technical interface between design teams and automation / platform management system suppliers
Managing supplier deliverables, interfaces, reviews, hazard analysis and FMEAs
Leading development of I/O lists with full traceability to requirements, P&IDs, networks and equipment
Supporting systems engineering activities, including requirements management, verification and configuration control
Contributing to digital twins and system simulation, including signal mapping and behavioural modelling
Providing technical leadership, mentoring junior engineers and embedding best practice

What we’re looking for

Essential

Strong background in Control & Instrumentation, automation and platform management systems
Experience specifying, integrating and assuring complex control and monitoring systems
Proven interface management with automation and autonomy system suppliers
Knowledge of marine systems (defence experience desirable)
Understanding of UK defence software integrity and cyber security standards
Degree in Control Engineering, Systems Engineering or equivalent
Excellent leadership, communication and systems thinking capability

Desirable

Experience with MBSE tools, system modelling or digital twins
Chartered Engineer or working towards chartership

BPSS clearance required (SC for some roles)

Why join Navantia UK?

Competitive salary and benefits
Hybrid working (minimum 3 days on site, project dependent)
A senior, influential role shaping ship automation strategy
The opportunity to work on cutting‑edge naval and maritime programmes
A collaborative, inclusive culture where expertise genuinely matters

Interested?
Apply with your CV (and cover letter if you wish) and help define the future of intelligent naval platforms.

Navantia UK is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
