Jobs in Alfold Crossways

H-Power is looking for a graduate or early-career Systems Engineer to join its growing five-person Systems Engineering team. This is an opportunity to build broad, practical systems experience while contributing to the development of hydrogen-generation and clean-power technologies.

You will work across the full product lifecycle and interact with teams throughout the business, including engineering, project planning, finance and customer-facing functions. The environment is dynamic and fast-moving, so the role will suit someone who is proactive, confident and motivated by the opportunity to make a visible contribution.

Your immediate focus will be requirements management and verification and validation (V&V), helping the team work through an important delivery backlog. As you develop, your remit will broaden across technical delivery and product engineering, giving you cradle-to-grave exposure to how H-Power's products are defined, delivered, documented and supported in the field.

What you'll be doing

Support the capture, review and management of stakeholder, system and subsystem requirements.

Maintain clear traceability between requirements, system design and verification evidence.

Support V&V planning, evidence management and technical readiness activities.

Contribute to technical assessments, option evaluations and trade studies that support project decisions.

Help define system architectures, functional breakdowns, interfaces, states and modes.

Prepare and maintain specifications, reports, plans, interface documents and other technical deliverables.

Support product engineering across the full lifecycle, including customer-facing documentation and technical product information.

Work across multidisciplinary teams to understand technical issues, dependencies and system-level impacts.

Support product compliance, configuration management, change control and engineering governance.

Contribute to the continued development of H-Power's systems engineering processes, templates and ways of working.

What we're looking for

You do not need to arrive as a fully developed Systems Engineer. H-Power is prepared to provide training and upskilling, but you will need strong technical foundations, a structured approach and the drive to develop quickly.

A degree in systems, process, chemical or mechanical engineering, or a relevant scientific discipline such as chemistry or physics.

An interest in requirements management, V&V and multidisciplinary product development.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a logical and methodical approach.

The confidence and communication skills to influence people without relying on formal authority.

A proactive, engaging personality and the ability to build relationships across different teams and levels of the business.

The organisation and attention to detail needed to manage technical information and documentation accurately.

The adaptability to work effectively in a dynamic, evolving clean-technology environment.

The right to work in the UK without sponsorship, now or in the future.

Working pattern

The role will initially be based onsite at H-Power's Dunsfold facility five days per week during the three-month probation period, with occasional ad-hoc home working where appropriate. After probation, the position will move to a hybrid pattern with three days per week onsite.
