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

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Space Jobs Hub

Space is no longer just the domain of governments and large agencies. Commercial satellites, Earth-observation, space communications, space launch, applications using satellite data, and downstream services are becoming essential components of national and global infrastructure. Whether for climate monitoring, telecommunications, security, navigation, agriculture, or disaster management, space technologies underpin many of the systems we take for granted. In recent years, the UK has been steadily building its space sector: advancing policy, strengthening research, encouraging private investment, establishing new facilities, and growing its workforce. As this momentum continues, demand is rising for professionals in engineering, operations, software, analysis, project management, regulation, and more. For those interested in ambitious, cutting-edge, and high-impact careers, the UK space sector offers compelling prospects. This article explores why the United Kingdom is exceptionally well placed to become a global space jobs hub, what the current landscape looks like, the roles in demand, sectoral strengths, challenges to be addressed, and what must happen for the UK to fulfil this role in the global space economy.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Space Skills in 2025/26

Space has always inspired human imagination, but today it is also a booming global industry. The UK space sector is worth billions, employing tens of thousands of people and spanning everything from satellite communications and Earth Observation to spacecraft design, propulsion, and deep-space exploration. With growth forecast for the coming decade, there has never been a better time to prepare for a career in space technology. Yet the reality of working in the space sector is that theory alone is not enough. Employers want candidates who can demonstrate applied skills — the ability to design, model, simulate, and test. They want to see you can handle data, understand system integration, and work with the same kinds of tools used in industry. The challenge is that professional software suites in aerospace and space engineering are often prohibitively expensive. But here’s the good news: there are many free and open-source tools available that allow you to practise space-related skills right now. From mission visualisation and data processing to computational fluid dynamics and systems engineering, these tools let you gain hands-on experience without spending a penny. In this article, we explore the best free tools and platforms to practise space skills in 2025. You’ll learn what each one offers, how it supports your development, and how to use it in projects that strengthen your portfolio for space sector jobs.
