Location: Warwickshire

EES Solution is seeking Senior Systems Engineers to help drive the development and improvement of systems engineering processes, methods, and tools across a complex electrical/electronic environment. This role offers the opportunity to influence engineering culture and drive technical excellence, with a primary focus on developing systems engineering practices, not project management.

This is a high-impact technical position ideal for individuals who are passionate about systems thinking, improving engineering capability, and delivering value across software, hardware, and mechatronic systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and uphold best practices for systems engineering across cross-functional teams.
  
  
• Author and review robust, high-quality requirements in line with defined processes and standards.
  
  
• Engage with engineering users to gather input and feedback on needs, pain points, and expectations.
  
  
• Maintain up-to-date understanding of system engineering processes and relevant legislative and regulatory environments.
  
  
• Collaborate with business analysts and process experts to improve engineering processes and ensure compliance.
  
  
• Define and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for systems engineering efficiency and quality.
  
  
• Contribute to product roadmaps by identifying process, method, tool, and training needs in collaboration with product owners.
  
  
• Support process, methods, and tool development by helping developers apply systems engineering principles effectively.
  
  
• Foster knowledge sharing, mentoring, and best practice dissemination across the engineering community.
  
  Required Skills & Experience:
  
  
• Proven experience as a Systems Engineering practitioner across the full development lifecycle.
  
  
• Strong practical knowledge of systems engineering tools such as IBM DOORS, Rhapsody, and Catia Magic (or similar).
  
  
• Significant expertise in requirements management, traceability, and validation practices.
  
  
• Practical experience with process/method development in a real-world engineering environment.
  
  
• Ability to influence mindsets and implement complex process and methodology changes.
  
  
• Background in industries such as automotive, defence, aerospace, or rail.
  
  
• Familiarity with key engineering disciplines including:
  
  
  • System modelling (SysML/UML)
    
    
  • Failure Mode Analysis (FMA)
    
    
  • Cybersecurity principles
    
    
  • Functional safety (ISO 26262 or equivalent)
    
    Education & Qualifications:
    
    
• Relevant academic background in Systems Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or related disciplines.
  
  
• Systems Engineering certifications (e.g., INCOSE) are highly desirable.
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  
• This is a technical leadership role, not a project management role.
  
  
• Ideal for individuals passionate about developing internal systems engineering capability and improving how engineering is done
