Digital Systems Engineer
Job Description
We’re hiring a Digital Systems Engineer to help shape and deliver our digital ship and digital systems strategy across current and future naval programmes. If you thrive on complex systems, smart data, and making advanced capability real—from architecture through integration—we’d like to hear from you.
What you’ll do
Own and evolve our digital ship strategy—onboard digital systems, autonomy enablers, data architecture, and integration with automation/IPMS.
Define and manage digital systems architecture: edge computing, comms, data handling, and platform-wide digital infrastructure.
Set practical standards and governance that scale across programmes.
Lead definition, specification, and integration of onboard digital capabilities (networks, sensing, data fusion, interfaces to third-party systems).
Develop and deliver digital twin scope and lifecycle use cases; support integration and verification with modelling/simulation teams and suppliers.
Engage suppliers and partners—support evaluations, procurement input, and delivery management.
Work with test and trial environments (COEX/LBTS) to plan, integrate, validate, and commission as required.
What we’re looking for
Experience in digital systems engineering, autonomy and/or data-centric systems, edge computing, and complex systems integration.
Confidence working across requirements, interfaces, V&V, configuration control, and technical documentation.
Familiarity with digital engineering / architecture tools (e.g., MBSE environments).
Awareness of software integrity and cyber security requirements and standards (hands-on experience preferred).
Digital twin / simulation / system modelling experience is highly desirable.
Comfort collaborating with suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams; ability to guide others and share knowledge.
Degree in Systems, Computer or Software Engineering (or equivalent). Chartered or working towards chartership is welcome.
Location: Bristol (with travel/overnight trips as required).
Sound like your kind of challenge? Apply now or message us to find out more about the role and the team.
