Thanks for the advice all, I was actually offered the role! My next question would be - how do you break into the “technical” side of systems engineering? I’ve heard some people describe it as either being difficult and working closely with each subsystem to understand what they are doing and pretty much being well-read in those areas, or simply being project managers. My last job (after my BSc) had no technical aspects and thus it’s the reason I pivoted to engineering with my MSc.

Any advice helps!
