Systems Engineer

Systems Engineer Location: Camberley (with travel) Salary: Competitive / Negotiable A highly innovative engineering organisation in Camberley is looking for an Applications Systems Engineer to deliver bespoke, real-world technical solutions for complex customer environments. This is a hands-on role that blends systems integration, prototype build/test, field support, and customer-facing engineering, working with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to a high quality standard. If you enjoy taking a problem from “needs defining” to “working in the field”, and you’re confident operating across hardware, software, and people, this could be a great fit. What you’ll be doing * Delivering end-to-end application solutions: system design, integration, test, validation and deployment. * Working closely with internal teams (engineering, software, production, finance, commercial) to ensure solutions are built right and delivered smoothly. * Supporting customer trials and deployments in the UK and internationally (sometimes in challenging environments), including planning, executing, and analysing results. * Producing clear technical documentation (user guides, procedures, reports) and improving existing documentation. * Interpreting system data to diagnose issues and optimise performance in customer set-ups. * Preparing risk assessments, running toolbox talks, and championing a safety-first culture. * Capturing lessons learned and feeding improvements back into internal processes and future solution roadmaps. * Acting as a technical authority and confidently communicating safety-critical and technical information to varied stakeholders. What we’re looking for (essential) * Degree (or equivalent experience) in an engineering discipline such as Systems, Electronics, Robotics, Mechatronics, Communications, Software (or similar). * Strong systems mindset with real-world integration experience (interfaces, architecture, third-party equipment/sensors). * Confidence reading and working from wiring diagrams and using test equipment (e.g. DVMs/oscilloscopes), plus practical build skills (e.g. soldering, cable build). * Comfortable interpreting mechanical drawings and making practical engineering decisions on-site. * Excellent communication skills—able to explain technical details clearly to different audiences, sometimes where English isn’t the first language. * A proactive, adaptable approach with strong attention to detail and a drive to deliver. * Full UK driving licence. * Able to work safely in physically practical environments (e.g. working at height/confined spaces, lifting up to 25kg, able to swim). Nice to have * Python (or experience working with data/scripts for testing, diagnostics, or automation). * Experience in customer-facing technical roles and building long-term relationships. * Familiarity with survey or positioning/navigation concepts, GNSS, or related instrumentation. * Exposure to embedded/software development environments, electronics simulation, or performance modelling. * Certifications/training such as powerboat, offshore medical, or safety training (or willingness to undertake). Why join? * Work on varied, technically challenging projects with clear real-world impact. * Hands-on problem solving from concept to deployment, not just desk-based design. * Strong cross-functional collaboration and opportunities to influence product improvement and solution roadmaps. * International travel and exposure to different customer environments and engineering challenges
