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
