Careers

Bladon is a dynamic company with a highly innovative and market leading product working towards a lower carbon future for power generation. Based in our newly built combined manufacturing and development facility located in the West Midlands with great transport links, we develop and manufacture green energy solutions for our international customer base.

The control software to operate the micro-turbine and its associated systems is all written in-house with control of turbo generators, fuel systems, combustion and high power electrical machines a vital part of the Bladon product, particularly with the move towards sustainable fuels, both liquid and gaseous.

The early verification and validation of these components is becoming progressively more important and using hardware in the loop technology allows control system modifications and system validation to occur in parallel with hardware modifications and design.

You should have experience of working in with multiple controllers interfaced through CAN using a complex simulation model running real-time on standard HIL simulation hardware. You should have experience of moving the simulation model forwards using real world measured value to continuously improve the fidelity of the model.

We strive for excellence in all activities, and you will have access to an extensive set of in-house resources including comprehensive design and analysis tools in addition to dedicated R&D manufacturing and testing facilities; allowing concepts to be developed into solutions and validated at pace.

Bladon are committed to support and invest in the best talent with a competitive benefits package. If you have a passion to join a developing team, solve interesting electromechanical problems and work with the best industry standard tools then get in touch and start your journey to an exciting career with Bladon.

Bladon has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer to join our Systems Engineering Team. You will have a passion for design and development and will have the opportunity to play a key role in defining our next generation of highly fuel efficient, ultra-low emissions, green fuelled micro-turbine generators.

You will be based in our new purpose-built manufacturing and development facility, conveniently located in the West Midlands with great transport links, where we develop and manufacture green energy solutions for our international customer base.

This is a key role within the engineering organisation, where your input will be actively encouraged and highly valued, and where you are able to use your systems engineering skills to help guide the definition and development of our generation products all the way from concept to production. Your design solutions will build on Bladon’s existing innovative micro-turbine technologies which are already extensively proven in some of the most extreme environments across the globe.

The Candidate

The successful candidate will be a Systems Engineer, with a detailed understanding of requirements management and Systems Engineering methodology. You will be highly creative, agile, and with a broad range of engineering design experience. You will be keen to build and grow your Systems Engineering knowledge to support the design and development of our next generation product.

If you are currently seeking an opportunity to work within a team operating in a fast-paced environment, across the full engineering lifecycle, then this is the perfect opportunity for you.

What you'll get from us:

• Be part of a company developing a simply revolutionary new product
• ​A supportive, fast paced, and energetic team environment.
• The opportunity to add real value and play a critical part in our evolving business

• Competitive salary
• Pension contribution
• Life assurance
• 33 days holiday entitlement, inc Bank Holidays
• Hybrid working with set office days

What you’ll deliver to us:

• To own and drive the development of the stakeholder, product, and sub-system level requirements, considering customer needs, business needs and any market and industry specific requirements (applicable standards, legislation, etc.).
• To capture the engineering requirements within the Enterprise Architect toolset. To ensure full bi-directional traceability across the entire requirements model. To create the reporting template which allows the engineering product specification to be output as a document in human readable format.
• To support development of attribute targets against each of the product key attributes, based on clear understanding of competitor product performance, and taking guidance from our commercial team on which attributes we want to take a leadership position in, which ones we will maintain a competitive position, and those where we accept to be behind the performance benchmark.
• To support SysML model development, and where appropriate perform analysis of the structural and behaviour models to help develop and inform the sub-system requirements etc.

·       To support analysis and down-selection of the competing concepts to derive the final recommended technical solution.

What we’re looking for:

• Degree or equivalent in an Engineering discipline
• 
  
• Experienced in Systems & Requirements Engineering using a model-based approach (ISO-15288).
• Experience with Enterprise Architect software.
• Will be expected to own and drive the development of the stakeholder, system and sub-system requirements so should either have strong demonstrable experience of either having led such an activity, or at least playing a key role in same.
