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

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.

UK Space Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Space Department

The UK space sector is rapidly expanding. With growth in satellite design, Earth observation, communications, launch systems, space science, downstream applications, and regulatory and operational services, there’s rising demand for skilled professionals across many disciplines. Building a high-impact space organisation requires well-defined team structures, clear roles, strong collaboration, and alignment across engineering, science, operations, regulation, and commercial functions. If you are applying for roles via UKSpaceJobs.co.uk or hiring into your company, this guide will help you understand the principal roles you’ll find in a space team, how they interact during mission lifecycles, what skills UK employers expect, salary norms, common challenges, and best practice for structuring space teams that succeed.
