Job Description:

Lead the introduction and implementation of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) across the organisation. Guide the transition from document-centric to model-driven engineering practices-improving consistency, traceability, and collaboration across spacecraft, ground systems, and operations projects. Be the key driver in defining the MBSE framework, tools, and processes, ensuring alignment with both internal projects and external partners (including space agencies and industry collaborations).

Job Responsibility:

Define and lead the roadmap for MBSE adoption across technical teams
Assess current systems engineering practices and identify improvement areas
Specify requirements for MBSE tooling and methodologies (with a focus on SysML v2)
Evaluate, select, and deploy MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo, Capella, Enterprise Architect)
Develop proof-of-concept system models covering satellite, ground segment, and operational concepts
Enable model-based reporting and documentation (e.g., automated generation for Word/Excel)
Integrate MBSE into existing engineering workflows and toolchains
Ensure compliance with document-based deliverables required by partners or agencies (e.g., ESA)
Identify training needs and coordinate MBSE upskilling programs
Develop internal guidelines, templates, and best practices for model-based approaches
Mentor and support teams throughout the MBSE transition
Partner with systems, hardware, and software engineering teams to align models with real-world implementations
Facilitate cross-team communication and ensure consistency between project domains

Requirements:

Proven experience implementing MBSE in aerospace or other complex systems domains
Strong working knowledge of SysML (preferably SysML v2) and MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo, Capella, Enterprise Architect)
Demonstrated success in introducing MBSE processes from the ground up
Deep understanding of systems engineering principles and lifecycle processes
Experience with model-to-document generation workflows and tool integrations (Word, Excel)
Excellent communication and documentation skills
Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and drive cultural change

Nice to have:

Familiarity with ground segment systems or satellite operations
Experience with ESA or other agency standards (ECSS)

What we offer:

Flexible working environment with remote and hybrid options
Competitive compensation and growth potential within a scaling international company
Join a diverse, collaborative team committed to innovation, inclusion, and excellence
