Salary: Up to £87,200 DOE + bonus scheme

Come and put yourself into a dynamic Principal Systems Engineering role at the forefront of real world demands in the defence industry. Alongside ensuring operational excellence for our existing products, there will be the opportunity to develop next generation radar products to counter emerging threats and contribute to our strategy for new technology. Your new day-to-day will be exciting and diverse by applying the principles of Systems Engineering across the entire engineering development lifecycle as you join in developing radar systems used by those who serve and protect us.

Who we are:

Join BAE Systems and you’ll be part of something bigger. As a valued member of our global colleague network, you’ll bring your unique skills and perspectives to help pioneer progress and protect what matters most. You’ll be trusted to play your part in delivering the advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions of tomorrow, shaping a safer future, for all of us.

From the depths of the ocean, to the far reaches of space, there’s no limit to where a career at BAE Systems could take you.

Role description:

You will develop innovative solutions to complex and emerging technical challenges within advanced radar systems, applying broad systems engineering expertise to guide design, resolve issues and ensure technical rigour. Your role includes performing detailed system analysis, managing design trade‑offs and leading the decomposition and governance of requirements using approved toolsets such as IBM DOORS Next.

Acting as a central technical authority, you will drive system‑level decision‑making, lead analytical activities and mentor team members while collaborating with multidisciplinary specialists to shape integrated design solutions. You will also direct system integration, oversee test planning and execution, and define acceptance strategies that clearly demonstrate system performance across diverse operational scenarios to stakeholders.

Core duties:

Developing novel solutions to evolving technical challenges and emerging issues for complex Radar Systems that our customers and end-user communities are facing
Applying a breadth of knowledge, skills and experience of Systems Engineering principles, techniques and governance to steer and develop technical solutions and resolve engineering issues
Conducting system design analysis to manage trade-offs of system parameters to characterise and specify robust product design
Leading the decomposition of requirements to system and sub-system level and manage these in an approved toolset such as IBM DOORS Next
Be a technical focus point with a holistic understanding of the system solution, leading analysis activities and system design decisions and providing guidance to own team
Collaborating with specialists across different engineering disciplines including electronics, electrical, mechanical, software and radar subject matter experts to direct and realise overarching system design solutions
Directing and undertaking system integration, test planning and execution
Defining and articulating system acceptance strategies and acceptance evidence demonstrating system performance across a wide range of operational scenarios to internal and external stakeholders

Essential skills:

Experience of systems design, integration & test
An understanding of Systems and Product lifecycles from concept through to delivery
An understanding of a range of Engineering disciplines (Software, Mechanical, Electrical)
An understanding of Radar Systems is desirable, although not essential if other complementary skills demonstrate a capacity to understand new technologies quickly and effectively
Good inter-personal skills with the ability to communicate to all levels within the organisation and externally
Experience of presenting both technical and non-technical information in a formal setting
Degree (or equivalent) qualified in an engineering or science discipline

The Radar Systems Engineering team:

You will be working as a Principal Systems Engineer within our close-knit multi-function radar team of inter-disciplinary engineers, evolving our radar portfolio of existing and brand-new radar products to address emerging and future threats.

Join us and help shape the future of Radar technology!
