About this role
Role Overview
Identify and engage a complete set of stakeholders for the Through‑Life Services (TLS) element of the programme, and support the development of an effective stakeholder engagement and communication strategy.
Elicit, analyse and mature stakeholder needs—prioritising, balancing and trading off interests and influence to define optimal capability solutions.
Contribute to the creation of concepts and architectures for the Through‑Life Support solution, collaborating closely with product design teams and functional SMEs (e.g., supportability, obsolescence, data).
Conduct system functional analysis, modelling and architecture development/refinement as required.
Ensure effective application of appropriate tools and techniques for problem definition within the team.
Support the definition and establishment of Use Cases to inform Functional Analysis and help derive the logical architecture of the solution.
Work closely with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment between the TLS architecture and wider programme elements.
Identify and escalate emerging issues, contribute to risk assessment activities, and help shape mitigation strategies and opportunity exploitation.
Coordinate multi‑stakeholder inputs and deliver clear, high‑quality reports and presentations for customers and industry partners.
Build and maintain strong relationships across and beyond the line of business, actively promoting best practice adoption.
Requirements
Experience capturing and analysing stakeholder needs to guide the development of service solutions suitable for future operational environments.
Experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches to develop service and product system architectures in response to stakeholder requirements.
Experience generating Use Cases and conducting Functional Analysis to support requirements refinement and validation.
Experience managing requirements and maintaining traceability throughout the engineering lifecycle.
A solid understanding of the engineering lifecycle and how early technical decisions impact later development and support phases.
The ability to balance competing needs and constraints using structured methods such as trade studies.
Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence, communicate effectively and adapt to changing programme demands.
The ability to work confidently with internal and external stakeholders across diverse organisations, disciplines, backgrounds and levels of seniority.
A commitment to maintaining engineering best practice, including seeking insight from academia, industry benchmarks and wider external sources.
The ability to explore and articulate the problem space objectively, without bias toward predetermined solutions.
An appreciation of how systems integrate into a broader capability enterprise—such as system‑of‑systems relationships and dependencies on personnel, training and infrastructure.
A self‑motivated mindset with strong problem‑solving skills and the drive to take complex issues through to resolution.
