About this Position:

We are seeking a Model Based Systems Engineer to support the deployment of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches within multi-domain programmes. This role involves collaboration with domain specialists to develop MBSE models that provide essential information for design and development teams. The position offers opportunities from Engineer to Lead Engineer level, depending on experience and qualifications.

The role demands expertise in multi-domain product development processes, a strong foundation in Systems Engineering, and the ability to document and communicate complex concepts clearly. Experience in adapting or defining MBSE frameworks is highly valued, along with mentoring skills to guide teams in MBSE methodologies.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Deploy MBSE approaches across programmes, working with domain experts to create models supporting design and development activities.

  • Collaborate across domains (mechanical, electrical, electronics, software, controls, etc.) to ensure effective integration of MBSE practices.

  • Develop and document processes in a clear and concise manner to facilitate understanding by non-MBSE domain engineers.

  • Act as a key contributor or leader in MBSE activities, depending on the level of the role.

  • Drive MBSE delivery through formal and informal customer engagements.

  • Support the MBSE process throughout the development lifecycle.

    Experience Required:

    Essential Skills and Competencies:

  • Demonstrated experience in MBSE development and deployment across domains such as electronics, software, and mechanical engineering.

  • Proven ability to work within Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), including domain specialists, to deliver MBSE solutions.

  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on practical application.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into simple, understandable language for non-specialists.

  • Strong organisational skills and experience in agile methodologies.

  • Background in engineering (mechanical, electronics, or software) within industries such as automotive, aerospace, or defence.

  • Leadership qualities, including the ability to guide discussions and deliver MBSE outcomes.

    Desired Skills:

  • Experience across the full product lifecycle, from requirements definition to retirement.

  • Advanced degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, or related disciplines.

  • Extensive experience with agile methodologies in digital transformation projects.

  • Project management skills to handle multiple tasks and projects concurrently.

  • INCOSE certification is highly desirable

How Many Space Industry Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UK Space Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the space industry — whether that’s spacecraft engineering, mission operations, space software, satellite systems, ground segment integration or space data analytics — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools, platforms and technologies mentioned in job adverts. One role wants experience with CAD and FEA software. Another asks for experience with GNSS simulation. A third mentions mission scheduling tools, RF link analysis suites, Python, C++, continuous integration — and it seems there’s always another acronym to learn. With so much listed, many candidates fall into the trap of thinking they must master every tool under the sun before they’ll be taken seriously. Here’s the honest truth most UK space hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you’ve heard of every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real space problems, explain your reasoning clearly, and deliver results. Tools matter, but they always serve a purpose: achieving mission goals, improving reliability, reducing risk, delivering data, or enabling collaboration. Tools are enablers — not trophies. So how many tools do you actually need to know to get a space job? The answer is much fewer and far more strategic than you might think. This article breaks down: what tools employers really expect which ones are core across most space roles which ones are role-specific how to present your tool proficiency on your CV and in interviews

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Space Sector Job Applications (UK Guide)

The space industry is one of the most exciting and multidisciplinary sectors in technology and engineering today. Whether you’re applying for roles in spacecraft design, aerospace systems, robotics, satellite communications, mission operations, payload engineering, space software, ground systems, or scientific research, your application must quickly show hiring managers that you are relevant, technically credible and ready to deliver. In the UK space jobs market — spanning organisations from startups to defence primes, agencies, research labs and commercial constellations — hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. They scan applications rapidly, often making a judgement about whether to read further within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in space sector applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, why specific signals matter, and how you can position your experience to stand out on www.ukspacejobs.co.uk .

The Skills Gap in UK Space Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

The UK space sector is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing high-tech industries in the world. From Earth observation and satellite communications to space robotics, launch systems and deep-space exploration, the breadth of opportunity is enormous. The UK Government’s ambition to capture a significant share of the global space economy has driven investment, policy support and a wave of innovative companies — both established and start-up. Yet despite strong academic programmes and a pipeline of graduates with relevant degrees, employers in the UK space sector consistently report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not prepared for real-world space industry jobs. This is not a matter of intelligence or motivation. Rather, it reflects a growing skills gap between what universities are teaching and what employers actually need from space professionals. In this article, we’ll explore why that gap exists, what universities are doing well, where they fall short, what employers want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in the UK space sector.
