Principal Systems Engineer (Rail)

A highly knowledgeable professional engineer with a depth and breadth of knowledge in Systems Engineering. Applies the principles of Systems Engineering to Radar system development across the entire engineering development lifecycle from requirement definition to system integration and customer acceptance into system support and disposal. Make sure to read the full description below, and please apply immediately if you are confident you meet all the requirements. This role entail analysis of performance data collected from both modelled and real world systems, and development of a system or sub-system design to meet functional and performance goals. Employs a depth and breadth of expertise relating to Systems Engineering to complex engineering problems, challenges, and issues associated with the domain. Designs and develops solutions and resolves engineering issues and problems for a range of products and engineering scenarios at the system or sub-system level, with interaction at the system of systems level.
