Systems Engineering Applications Engineer
Job Description
This position is in the Systems Engineering and Design Capability (SE&DC) department. This dynamic team supports projects through established model-based systems engineering processes, while also contributing to the evolution of best practices to enhance efficiency and consistency across the UK engineering operations.
The department supports a broad set of systems engineering tools based on IBM's Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) environment, known as Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) internally. Whilst much of the toolset has migrated to web based (including DOORS Next, Engineering Workflow Manager, Engineering Test Manager, Global Configuration, etc), SE&DC also support a set of thick client tools (including DOORS Classic, Rhapsody, EWM Eclipse Client, Method Composer, etc).
Maintaining a reliable, resilient, secure and performant systems engineering toolset whilst looking to exploit new versions with ever increasingly capability is fundamental to the success of projects, today and in the future. The role will involve liaising with multiple partners including software application suppliers (IBM in particular), the internal IM (Information Management) organisation, the internal security team, the wider SE&DC team and the engineering user community to continue to provide continuity of service across the systems engineering applications.

Experience in the practical use of IBM toolset (Rhapsody, DOORS Classic, IBM ELM (ALM)) is highly desirable. You should be eager to enhance your skills in Systems Engineering application management as the underpinning infrastructure and architectures evolve towards web based technologies. You should also have a passion to explore and exploit emerging technologies and their utilisation within the systems engineering application environment.
