Join MASS as a Senior Solution Architect and play a key role in delivering cutting-edge EW solutions. You’ll be helping to design, implement, and validate new capabilities, influence operational outcomes, and develop into a Subject Matter Expert within a high-performing, multidisciplinary team.

Led by our Principal Solution Architect, the team is based at our modern Lincoln HQ on Teal Park, but now expanding across our head office in St Neots, and therefore the opportunity is available at either site. Typically spending three days in the office and two from home — giving you the best of both worlds: collaboration and flexibility.

The invaluable experience you’ll bring, to help us achieve more: 

As a thought leader, you’ll shape complex technical concepts from analysis through to delivery, applying your Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) expertise to help design and implement cutting-edge solutions for our customers. You will be directly supporting an expansion of our model-based engineering capability, and we are looking for people that are passionate and knowledgeable about complex cross-domain challenges, and can bring expertise and best practice in this area.

You will be responsible for the architecture, definition, creation, and use of high-level system representations to guide the development teams in their detailed design activities. This will be a pivotal role in a national defence capability programme, working closely with the team lead, technical leads, and the project Design Authority to ensure designs can deliver the required performance.

• System architecture experience (MATLAB System Composer, Enterprise Architect, etc)
• Systems Modelling (SysML)

• Previous ex-Military experience with EW systems (operator, maintenance, support, or acquisition)
