Full description

Networks, satellites, servers, security. Someone has to make them behave as one system.

A multinational defence organisation in Braine-l'Alleud builds deployable communication andinformation systems out of standard modules and services. It needs a senior solution engineer whocan see the whole system at once - turning requirements into architecture, coordinating thespecialists, and acting as technical owner of systems already in operational service.

  • Translating operational and project requirements into implementable solutions and a clearsystem architecture
  • Applying model-based systems engineering, reusing approved building blocks and flagging thegaps where they fall short
  • Running trade-off analyses across performance, interoperability, security, resilience, costand schedule
  • Acting as product owner for systems already in service: assessing changes, obsolescence andtechnology refresh against the whole system, and keeping its roadmap current

  • Proven work as technical lead, lead systems engineer or solution architect
  • Strong requirements engineering, interface control, traceability and system integration,verification and acceptance
  • Broad technical range across networking, infrastructure, virtualisation, security, cloud,automation and communications - you understand how they interact, without needing to be theexpert in each

  • Professional English, including writing and reviewing complex technical documents

Why this one is worth a look

It is a system-level seat with real design authority, on deployable systems that have to workfirst time in the field.
