Job Description

SRT Marine Systems plc (SRT) is a market leader in the domain of international marine surveillance technology and systems. We are a respected, established, and an ambitious multi-national company headquartered in the UK with a global customer base.

If you are interested in applying for this job, please make sure you meet the following requirements as listed below.

The company has a worldwide impact in the marine sector by leading the next generation of maritime domain awareness technologies \"MDA\", products, and systems that significantly enhance security, safety, environmental protection, and sustainability. Our customers are global and range from the largest national coast guards to individual vessel owners.

SRT is an exciting company where high-quality results are rewarded. We are ambitious and constantly seek to innovate in order to deliver better products and services to our customers. We strive to make SRT a rewarding and challenging place to work, where talented, hard-working individuals have the opportunity to make a real impact across the marine industry.

The role of the Lead Systems Engineer - ISR & Sensors, is to provide a blend of high-level system architecture understanding, proof-of-concept analysis and eventual installation standards and governance relating to radars, cameras, RF, VHF, and any other variations of the ISR sensor offerings across coastal towers, antenna masts, vessels, UAVs, and aircraft platforms.

The Lead Systems Engineer - ISR & Sensors will own the specification, design, deployment and commissioning of the elements of SRT's core sensor project deployments. The successful operation and functioning of these core systems is as critical to project success as the core MDA product.

This is a broad technical role and will require the Lead Systems Engineer - ISR & Sensors to technically lead other Engineers on the remit of the ISR sensors products not only from a design perspective but also from a deployment and training one; working with ICP and SRT training support teams. Additionally, a large part of the role will require 4th line support when needed in the solving of live system issues on a 24/7 basis where required.

*Please note - the role of Lead Systems Engineer - ISR & Sensors is a hybrid working role with your \"home\" office being Bristol, you will also WFH and the position does require international travel in support of our customer projects (sometimes with short notice).

Define and validate performance test criteria to ensure compliance and optimal behaviour within integrated MDA systems


Provide expert technical guidance for installation, integration, maintenance and performance expectations
