Solution Engineer, Defence - UK
Join our Defence Services team in Farnborough as a customer-facing engineer delivering tactical communications systems and command-and-control software. You’ll work across multiple technical disciplines in an agile environment, helping implement mission-critical solutions for Defence customers in the UK and overseas.
Deliver solutions to support critical decision-making on the battlefield
At Systematic, we deliver world-leading command-and-control (C2) applications for managing complex operations within defence and security. Our C4I software solutions are in service with more than 50 countries worldwide.
You will be part of our Defence Services organisation and work between our Farnborough office and customer sites. You will join a small team of customer-focused technical experts, working to implement our C2 software (SitaWare) to support critical decision-making in operational defence environments. This is a hands-on technical delivery role with a strong focus on deploying, integrating, configuring, testing and supporting our solutions, while contributing to continuous improvement.
Your key responsibilities may include:
Providing remote and on-site support to customers, especially during military exercises
Managing software installation, configuration and support in the customer’s C4I environments for use in tests, training, exercises and actual operations
Managing setup and testing of integrations between C4I software products and coalition systems, sensors, effectors and communication systems
Designing, implementing and supporting technical solutions
Ensuring alignment, effective communication and coordination between stakeholders
Supporting delivery of technical training to customers, administrators and users
Providing level 1 and 2 support to customers on C4I software products, installation, integration with other software and equipment, and to end-users
Keeping up to date with software product roadmaps to maximise value for customers
Providing support to ensure projects are delivered within the agreed scope and on time
The role is based in Farnborough, Hampshire, UK, and entails domestic and occasional international travel to customer sites as well as visits to our company headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark. You should expect to spend ~50% of your time travelling and working at customer sites.
We operate a hybrid working policy which allows for flexibility with some time spent working in the office and some at home.
Technical capability and experience
You have a strong technical background and ideally hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a mathematical, computer-related, or other relevant discipline. Experience of working with military customers and knowledge of the defence C4I domain are advantageous.

Experience with IT infrastructure and platforms such as Windows, Linux, Android-based operating systems, Active Directory, database management systems, XMPP chat
Experience in software development technologies e.g. Java, C#, JavaScript
