Experience and Qualifications:
You will likely have a track record of working in radar systems integration, secure distributed data systems, or systems combining data feeds with security, scalability and service in mind. You will have a keen interest in the system purpose and context, with an ability to influence future direction.

- Hands on delivery of systems engineering artefacts, such as requirements, systems architecture / design, integration and test plans.
- You should have knowledge of commercial maritime radars and basic detection principles.
