Full-Time MBSE (Model Based Systems Engineer)

Job Title: Model Based Systems Engineer

Location: Manchester (Hybrid – 1 day/month on-site)

Employment: Full-Time, Permanent

Sectors: Aerospace / Defence

ALTEN UK is seeking a Model Based Systems Engineer to support high-profile aerospace programmes within the combat air domain. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of next-generation air platform development, where your models will contribute directly to complex system design, performance optimisation and full digital twin representations.

You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers across multiple disciplines and play a key role in shaping system behaviour at a platform level.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and manage functional, plant, control and requirement models to represent platform systems in a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) environment.
• Contribute to the creation and evolution of a digital twin of the air platform, supporting validation, verification and system optimisation activities.
• Analyse system-level and aircraft performance metrics using modelling tools and real-world data.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to define interfaces between systems, ensuring effective integration across platform and sub-system levels.
• Support strategic modelling efforts aimed at reducing test burden and enhancing simulation and trial planning.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g. Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, Electrical).
• Minimum of 2 years' experience within systems engineering, ideally within aerospace or defence.
• Working knowledge of SysML, Matlab/Simulink, or Cameo Systems Modeller.
• Understanding of aircraft systems and their key performance characteristics.
• Familiarity with MBSE principles, tools and practices.
• Must be Security Clearable (UK national), with UKEO clearance preferred.
