Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications. For positions that perform IT responsibilities, use E646, Systems Engr-IT.\nBe part of a team delivering the next generation of secure military communications satellites for the UK Ministry of Defence. This work provides resilient, high-performance connectivity for the UK, its allies and Defence personnel worldwide, playing a critical role in protecting national security as space becomes more contested and demand for secure data continues to grow.\nJoining Lockheed Martin also means helping to shape significant investment in the North East space sector, with more than £100 million proposed to support high-skill jobs, advanced manufacturing and long-term economic growth. Opportunities include potential satellite manufacturing in County Durham and collaboration with NESST - the North East Space Skills and Technology Centre at Northumbria University - helping to build a strong pipeline of talent, learning and innovation.\nThis is your chance to work on mission-critical technology, develop cutting-edge skills and build a meaningful career, while delivering lasting impact for the region and the nation.\nRole and Responsibilities\nAn exciting opportunity to take ownership of advanced Ground Segment capabilities supporting complex satellite communications systems. This role sits at the heart of mission-critical programmes, shaping the development and delivery of end-to-end ground solutions that enable secure, resilient, and high-performance space operations. It offers the chance to influence product direction, lead technical decision-making, and work across multidisciplinary teams delivering next-generation capability.\nThe role is responsible for technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk management, and supportability and effectiveness analysis across total system products. Work spans the full lifecycle, from concept definition and design through to fabrication, testing, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.\nA key focus is ensuring the structured translation of customer and product requirements into integrated system solutions that meet technical, schedule, and cost objectives. This includes functional analysis, timeline analysis, trade studies, requirements allocation, and interface definition to support both hardware and software development for complex ground segment systems.\nComplexity\nDevelops innovative and effective solutions to highly complex and often ambiguous engineering and product challenges. Operates under consultative direction, contributing to long-range objectives while frequently initiating work independently. Work is validated through collaboration and technical agreement rather than direct supervision, reflecting a high level of autonomy and trust.\nImpact\nMay lead or shape major programmes and product delivery workstreams, with responsibility for guiding critical engineering and product decisions. Decisions have significant and lasting impact on programme success, financial outcomes, and organisational capability. Acts as a technical authority and may represent the organisation on advanced or high-profile projects.\nKnowledge\nApplies advanced systems and engineering principles to develop new and innovative product solutions. Recognised as an expert within the organisation, with the ability to influence technical direction, mentor others, and contribute to the development of next-generation ground segment capability.\nRequired skills, Qualifications and Experience\nExtensive relevant experience in systems engineering, product management, or a related discipline.\nExperience in satellite communications ground segment systems is highly desirable.\nStrong background in system lifecycle development including integration, verification, and validation.\nExperience working across complex, multidisciplinary engineering environments.\nAbility to influence technical decisions and engage effectively with senior stakeholders.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4651,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Aerospace Manufacturing","Combat Aircraft","Missiles","Military Satellites"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-13T15:18:42Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-03T18:08:26Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-17T11:12:09Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-19T17:54:11Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-24T06:57:27Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker, Senior or Specialist Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker;
