The posting

We are seeking a Systems Integration Lead to lead the integration of complex multidisciplinary systems into a coherent, verified, and operational capability. Working across hardware, software, firmware, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering disciplines, you will ensure interfaces are understood, risks are managed, and integrated solutions meet performance, safety, compliance, and stakeholder requirements.

Partnering closely with Chief Engineers, Systems Engineers, Project Managers, and Verification & Validation teams, you'll drive integration activities throughout the engineering lifecycle, from system build and commissioning through to trials and customer acceptance.

This role combines:

  • Integration leadership & coordination – planning and executing integration strategies, schedules, build activities, and readiness events across complex engineering programmes
  • Interface & configuration management – ensuring technical interfaces are defined, controlled, verified, and managed through disciplined engineering governance
  • Technical assurance & problem solving – identifying integration risks, leading defect resolution, supporting root cause investigations, and assuring system readiness for verification, trials, and deployment

You'll play a key role in turning individual subsystems into a reliable operational capability. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, working across engineering disciplines, and leading successful integration outcomes in demanding environments.

What you will be doing:

  • Own system integration planning and execution – develop integration strategies, plans, schedules, build sequences, integration events, resource plans, and readiness criteria across the engineering lifecycle
  • Lead multidisciplinary integration activities – coordinate systems, software, hardware, electrical, mechanical, test, production, and support teams to deliver integrated system capability
  • Drive readiness, verification, and assurance – lead readiness reviews, technical risk assessments, and integration activities that generate objective evidence against requirements, interface definitions, and acceptance criteria
  • Manage technical risks and issue resolution in integration – identify and mitigate integration risks, dependencies, blockers, and design maturity concerns whilst leading defect investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective action activities

Who you are:

  • An experienced integration or systems engineering professional with a proven track record of delivering complex multidisciplinary systems involving hardware and software components
  • Strong in systems engineering and integration disciplines, with a solid understanding of requirements, architecture, interface management, integration, verification, validation, and acceptance processes
  • A capable technical leader and coordinator who can influence engineers across multiple disciplines and align internal teams, suppliers, customers, and delivery partners around integration priorities
  • A structured and evidence-driven problem solver with experience investigating defects, conducting root cause analysis, managing corrective actions, and resolving complex technical issues
  • Comfortable working within rigorous engineering environments, applying configuration management, change control, technical governance, and assurance processes to maintain system integrity
  • An effective communicator and decision maker who can balance technical risk, delivery priorities, safety considerations, and customer outcomes while providing clarity in complex and ambiguous situations

Desirable:

  • Experience integrating complex maritime, autonomous, defence, aerospace, robotics, or other safety-critical systems
  • Familiarity with systems engineering standards and frameworks such as ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288, INCOSE or equivalent lifecycle approaches
  • Understanding of safety, reliability, security, regulatory, or assurance requirements associated with complex engineered systems
  • Experience with requirements management, architecture modelling, configuration management, issue tracking, test management, and project planning toolsets
  • Professional registration, or working towards registration, such as IEng or CEng
  • Degree, higher apprenticeship, or equivalent experience in systems engineering or a related engineering discipline

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
