This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa

SOC 2126 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,400, and Expleo Group is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.

This could also be SOC 2124 (Electronics engineers, Sensing/mission systems focus could be electronics engineering) or SOC 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, Project engineering aspects across full lifecycle). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Strategic tip: apply early

Sponsored roles fill quickly, and the ones that name a salary go quickest. If this one looks right, apply in the first few days rather than saving it for the weekend.

About the role

Expleo is a trusted partner for engineering, quality services, and digital transformation. We collaborate with world-leading aerospace manufacturers, delivering cutting-edge solutions in structural analysis, finite element modelling, numerical simulation, and certification support. At Expleo, we foster innovation, technical excellence, and professional growth, empowering our teams to shape the future of aerospace engineering.

We are seeking Systems Engineers to support the development and integration of next-generation sensing capabilities within the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). Working across multidisciplinary teams, you will contribute to the delivery of advanced sensor systems that provide information advantage, battlespace awareness and mission effectiveness within complex and highly contested operational environments.

This role offers an opportunity to influence future combat air capability through the development, integration and optimisation of advanced sensing architectures, supporting delivery across the full engineering lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Support the development and integration of advanced sensing capabilities for future combat air platforms.
  • Capture, analyse and manage stakeholder and system requirements.
  • Develop system architectures, functional decompositions and interface definitions.
  • Contribute to capability trade studies and technical decision-making activities.
  • Support the integration of sensing capabilities within wider mission systems architectures.
  • Develop verification and validation strategies to demonstrate system performance.
  • Contribute to system modelling, analysis and performance assessment activities.
  • Produce and maintain engineering artefacts in accordance with programme requirements.

Desired Skills

  • Someone for whom collaboration and working in partnership comes naturally. A confident communicator with the ability to negotiate.
  • You will also be self-motivated with an energetic attitude, being able to transform complex problems into simple, elegant solution.
  • Capable of working across a portfolio of projects and business initiatives often at short notice. Someone who is an instinctive organiser with meticulous attention to detail, and who can motivate others to complete their actions so that the overall objectives are achieved.
  • Someone who understands ‘how’ you do things is just as important as ‘what’ you do – who will role model and apply our Principles.
  • A person who is resilient and adaptable, who can navigate ambiguity and complexity and help teams own and deliver day to day.

Experience

  • Experience delivering systems engineering activities within aerospace, defence or complex engineering environments.
  • Experience working across requirements, architecture and verification activities.
  • Sensor or radar system development experience.
  • Combat air, military aviation or defence programme experience.
  • Experience supporting digital engineering initiatives.

What Do I Need Before I Apply

    About sponsorship for this role

    Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?

    Not necessarily. Expleo Group holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.

    What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?

    The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2126 going rate of £52,400. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
