System Engineer – AIT & GSE

System Engineer – AIT & GSE

We are seeking a Systems Engineer to support the definition, integration, and verification of complex assembly, integration, testing, and support systems within an advanced engineering and manufacturing environment.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working across multiple engineering disciplines, solving integration challenges, and contributing directly to the successful deployment of highly complex technical systems.

The Opportunity

Our client is a rapidly growing technology company developing sophisticated hardware systems in a highly innovative and demanding environment. The organisation values technical excellence, ownership, and collaboration, offering engineers the opportunity to make a tangible impact on product development, testing, and operational success.

This position combines systems engineering principles with hands-on involvement in hardware integration, testing, and operational readiness activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Proven experience in Systems Engineering, Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT), Ground Support Equipment (GSE), Integration Engineering, Test Engineering, or another complex hardware-development environment.
• Demonstrated experience defining and managing interfaces between hardware, software, facilities, test equipment, tooling, manufacturing systems, and operational teams.
• Experience specifying, developing, or supporting Ground Support Equipment (GSE), test stands, fixtures, handling equipment, instrumentation, data-acquisition systems, or other specialised test infrastructure.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), SysML, DOORS, Jama, Polarion, or similar requirements-management tools is advantageous.
• Knowledge of electrical, mechanical, fluid, thermal, structural, and data interfaces within integrated engineering systems.
• Experience Launch vehicles, spacecraft, propulsion systems, defence systems, missiles, or other complex aerospace hardware.
• Familiarity with CAD, PLM, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, test automation, data analysis, or engineering verification tools.

Compensation & Benefits

• Highly competitive salary package with performance-based incentives.
• Long-term equity or incentive participation opportunities.
• Relocation assistance available where required.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology projects within a rapidly growing engineering organisation.
• Significant scope for technical ownership and career growth.

This role is best suited to individuals who thrive in fast-paced, technically demanding environments and enjoy taking ownership of complex engineering challenges. The successful candidate will be comfortable balancing system-level thinking with practical implementation and hands-on involvement.
