Overview:

The Functional Manager – MBE & MBSE will provide strategic and functional leadership for the adoption, deployment, and continuous advancement of Model-Based Engineering (MBE) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices across the organisation.

The role will drive the transformation from document-centric engineering approaches towards model-based, integrated, and data-driven engineering methodologies. The incumbent will establish the vision, strategy, standards, processes, tools, and governance required to embed MBE/MBSE across the product development lifecycle.

The role will work closely with engineering functions, programme teams, technology organisations, and global stakeholders to enable engineering excellence, improve collaboration, enhance product quality, and accelerate development cycles.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the adoption of MBSE methodologies across systems engineering, requirements engineering, architecture, design, integration, verification, and validation.
• Establish model-based engineering frameworks covering system, software, hardware, and multidisciplinary engineering domains.
• Drive the application of modelling languages and frameworks such as SysML, UML, and relevant architecture frameworks.
• Promote model-based requirements management, system architecture modelling, interface management, and traceability.
• Enable integration of system models with simulation, analysis, software development, verification, and validation environments.
• Drive digital thread and digital continuity across the engineering lifecycle.

A. Tools, Platforms and Technology Enablement

• Define the technology strategy and tool ecosystem for MBE/MBSE.
• Evaluate, select, qualify, and deploy appropriate modelling and engin
• eering platforms.
• Drive integration and interoperability between modelling tools, PLM, ALM, requirements management, simulation, and configuration management environments.
• Establish reusable model libraries, templates, reference architectures, and engineering assets.
• Explore opportunities to leverage AI, automation, digital twins, and advanced analytics to enhance model-based engineering capabilities.

B. Process, Standards and Governance

• Establish enterprise-wide MBE/MBSE processes, methods, standards, guidelines, and governance mechanisms.
• Ensure alignment with applicable aerospace engineering standards, regulatory requirements, and safety-critical development practices.
• Define modelling guidelines, model quality criteria, verification approaches, and configuration management practices.
• Establish governance for model reviews, maturity assessments, model validation, and lifecycle management.
• Drive consistency and standardisation across engineering functions, programmes, and global sites.

C. Capability Development and Adoption

• Build and lead a high-performing team of MBE/MBSE specialists, architects, engineers, and practitioners.
• Develop competency frameworks, training programmes, and certification pathways.
• Drive awareness, knowledge sharing, and hands-on enablement across engineering teams.
• Establish communities of practice and centres of excellence to accelerate adoption.
• Identify capability gaps and develop strategies for talent acquisition, upskilling, and succession planning.
• Drive change management and cultural transformation towards model-based engineering.

D. Programme Engagement and Business Impact

• Partner with programme engineering teams to identify and execute MBE/MBSE implementation opportunities.
• Provide technical guidance and functional support for strategic programmes and complex engineering initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity, reduce development cycle time, improve quality, and minimise rework.
• Define and track adoption metrics, maturity indicators, and business value realisation.
• Capture lessons learned and scale successful implementations across programmes.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Bringing 9-11 years of hands-on expertise in Model-Based Engineering (MBE) and Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE).
• Typically 9+ years of experience in aerospace, defence, automotive, or other complex engineering industries.
• Significant experience in systems engineering, model-based engineering, and model-based systems engineering.
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering functions, technical teams, or enterprise-wide transformation initiatives.
• Strong understanding of the product development lifecycle, systems architecture, requirements management, integration, verification, and validation.
• Hands-on familiarity with modelling languages and tools such as SysML, UML, Cameo Systems Modeler, IBM Rhapsody, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent platforms.
• Experience with PLM, ALM, requirements management, simulation, and engineering toolchain integration.
• Knowledge of aerospace development standards and safety-critical engineering processes is highly desirable.
