It also operates in 150 countries through subsidiaries, joint ventures and investments. A key player in major international strategic programmes, it is a technological and industrial partner of governments, defence administrations, institutions and companies. Within the GCAP Joint Venture, in the GCAP Technical Leadership UO, we are looking for a Delivery Manager - MBSE for GCAP HQ in Reading (UK). This role reports to the Product Owner - Systems Engineering and is accountable for delivering and continuously improving the digital engineering capabilities that support the MBSE pillar. The focus is on enabling the toolchains, digital thread, and lifecycle environments that underpin model-based systems engineering across the enterprise, ensuring authoritative models replace traditional Office documents or 2D CAD as the primary means of design, communication, and collaboration. The Product Delivery Manager defines and brings into service the reference architectures and technical baselines for MBSE digital solutions (including Cameo System Modeler, SysML/UML modeling languages, integration with requirements management tool IBM DOORS NG and TeamCenter PLM, configuration and change control, test data management, and evidence capture). The role translates business and engineering needs into a clear capability roadmap and prioritized backlog, and ensures environments deliver end-to-end traceability from requirements through models, analyses, and validation, interoperable with enterprise platforms and adjacent pillars. The role liaises closely with other DE&D Product Owners and Delivery Managers and with engineering stakeholders to align on standards, interfaces, and adoption, while coordinating boundaries with process and integration owners. Through rigorous backlog management, vendor engagement, and technology evaluations, the Product Delivery Manager ensures the MBSE digital capability delivers the right enabling solutions at the right time in the right way. Key Capability Accountabilities and Objectives Product Delivery and Lifecycle Management - Own the delivery and continuous improvement of MBSE digital capabilities, including toolchains for SysML/UML modeling, requirements management (IBM DOORS NG), model repositories, configuration/change control, product line/variant management, and digital thread connectivity. - Ensure full integration with the DE Digital Thread, guaranteeing end‑to‑end traceability between requirements, models (structure, behavior, interfaces, allocations), analyses, simulation results, verification activities, and test evidence. - Translate business and engineering needs into clear product roadmaps, delivery plans, and prioritized backlogs for MBSE capabilities, aligned to program increments and enterprise priorities. - Establish and promote best practices for model‑based engineering: requirement flowdown and allocation, architecture definition, behavior modeling (state/sequence/activity), interface and Interface Control Document management, parametric modeling and constraints, simulation‑based verification, and evidence generation. - Define and deploy technical baselines, methodologies, and work instructions to enable consistent MBSE ways of working across programs and partners, including integration points with adjacent domains (software/hardware/safety/IVVQ). - Drive adoption of models as the authoritative source across the lifecycle—replacing document‑centric practices (Office files, 2D CAD drawings) for planning, reviews, and cross‑discipline communication. - Ensure solutions are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with quality, performance, security, and compliance targets (including applicable regulatory, safety, and certification expectations). - Manage upgrades, enhancements, and decommissioning across the digital product lifecycle with mínimal disruption to dependent engineering teams and governed data migration plans. Stakeholder and Business Engagement - Capture, challenge, and consolidate capability requirements for MBSE to avoid duplication and fragmentation across teams, suppliers, and partner organizations. - Communicate product vision, scope, risks, and progress clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences; maintain transparent roadmaps and release notes. - Develop and implement workforce and cultural initiatives to embed model‑centric behaviors (authoritative models, model reviews, model health metrics), including training materials, onboarding paths, and role‑based enablement. - Define and design Domai
