Systems Engineer

Systems Engineer – Advanced Marine Systems

About the Role

We are looking for a

Systems Engineer

to join Surge Marine and take ownership of the technical development, integration and validation of complex marine systems.

This is a

hands-on, multidisciplinary engineering role

for someone who enjoys working across the full system rather than being limited to one engineering discipline. The ideal candidate combines strong analytical and modelling capabilities with practical engineering experience and the ability to translate high-level requirements into functional system architectures, technical specifications and validated solutions.

The role is particularly suited to an engineer with experience in

advanced vehicles, aerospace, marine, automotive, robotics or other complex engineering systems , where performance, integration, simulation and testing are closely interconnected.

Key Responsibilities

Translate high-level mission and customer objectives into

system requirements, technical specifications and performance targets .

Define and develop

system architectures , interfaces and subsystem requirements.

Lead technical analysis of complex vehicle/system behaviour across different operating conditions.

Develop and use

engineering models and simulations

to predict system and vehicle performance.

Perform

mission analysis, performance analysis and system-level trade-off studies .

Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering activities across mechanical, electrical, software, controls and other relevant disciplines.

Define and support

system integration and verification & validation (V&V)

activities.

Develop test plans, test requirements and acceptance criteria and support the execution and analysis of ground, laboratory and vehicle tests.

Analyse test and operational data to identify performance deviations, root causes and opportunities for improvement.

Support the development and validation of

sensor and instrumentation systems , including data acquisition and sensor fusion where relevant.

Perform modelling and simulation of system dynamics and physical behaviour.

Support the definition and exploitation of

test facilities and test setups .

Maintain traceability between requirements, design decisions, analyses, tests and final system performance.

Identify technical risks and drive mitigation activities throughout the development lifecycle.

Communicate complex technical findings clearly to engineering teams, management and external partners.

Technical Profile

We are looking for someone with a strong analytical engineering background and experience in

complex vehicle or system development .

Ideally, you will have experience with several of the following:

Systems engineering and system architecture

Requirements definition and management

Vehicle/system performance analysis

Mathematical modelling and simulation

Dynamic system modelling

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or other physics-based simulation

Aerodynamics / hydrodynamics

Thermal management or thermal protection

Sensors, instrumentation and data acquisition

Sensor fusion and estimation techniques

Experimental testing and validation

Post-test / post-flight data analysis

Statistical analysis and uncertainty quantification

MATLAB/Simulink, Python or comparable engineering tools

Development of technical databases/models from simulation and experimental data

What We Are Looking For

Master's degree or PhD

in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Naval Architecture, Physics or a related technical discipline.

Several years of experience working on

complex engineering systems or vehicles .

Demonstrated ability to move between

conceptual design, analytical modelling, simulation and physical testing .

Strong understanding of multidisciplinary engineering and system-level interactions.

Ability to independently structure and solve technically challenging problems.

Strong technical communication skills and the ability to work with engineers from different disciplines.

A practical mindset: comfortable both with detailed technical analysis and with understanding how the system behaves in the real world.

Fluent English.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is

not simply a requirements engineer or project coordinator . We are looking for a technically strong engineer who can understand the physics and engineering behind the system, build models to investigate its behaviour, work with specialists across disciplines, and then help prove the resulting design through testing.

A particularly strong candidate may come from

aerospace, advanced marine systems, automotive, defence, robotics, space or other high-performance vehicle industries .

Experience with highly complex vehicles and environments is especially valuable—for example, candidates who have worked on

vehicle concept design, mission/performance analysis, simulation, instrumentation, testing and system validation . The reference profile demonstrates this combination through vehicle design and simulation, mission analysis, aerodynamics, thermal systems, test-facility development and sensor-fusion work.

Nice to Have

Experience with autonomous or remotely operated vehicles

Experience with high-performance marine or aerospace vehicles

Experience developing new technology from concept through testing

Experience working with research institutions, universities or external engineering partners

Publications, patents or demonstrated technical contributions to advanced engineering projects

Experience leading technical work packages or acting as a technical lead
