The Opportunity:

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme as our FCAS Capability Advisor. The successful candidate will provide 4th and 5th Generation Combat Air expertise to the MBDA FCAS Sector in order to support the concepts, performance measures and products that we are developing through our role in the programme.

FCAS is one of the largest, most exciting and challenging programmes within Defence - to design and deliver a Future Combat Air Programme for the RAF in record time. The key cornerstone of FCAS is the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), which sees the UK working with our international partners Italy and Japan. FCAS and GCAP combined present a unique opportunity to influence the design of the platform and wider system to reflect a new approach to weapon integration and employment of effects rather than just traditional integration of effectors to an existing platform.

The FCAS portfolio consists of a number of different projects and contracts looking at different areas within Combat Air. MBDA UK is involved in a number of these projects including the TEMPEST project, where some novel technologies are being explored, the main UK FCAS Acquisition Programme, as well as the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).

Some of the key activities include;

  • Supporting Effects Optimisation concept development using tactical expertise of weapons employment across 4th and 5th Generation platforms - looking towards the future with 6th Generation.
  • Providing expert judgment and operational experience to the teams developing technology for Effects Optimisation.
  • Delivering engagement events and prototype demonstrations to our User and Operator communities.
  • Growing relationships for MBDA with the Operator and Ex-Operator community across the FCAS programme.

The ideal candidate will have recent fast-jet experience (QWI or similar qualification highly desirable). We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running and quickly build relationships both internally and externally. A perfect role for someone who is keen to apply their tactical knowledge in a new environment and broaden their experiences in an exciting role within MBDA.

What we're looking for from you:

  • Significant experience of air launched weapons (ideally from a range of combat air platforms)
  • Knowledge of the current Combat Air tactical environment, and an understanding of its possible future evolution
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills
  • Ability to plan, develop, perfect and deliver
  • Ability to influence and guide a narrative
  • Able to deal with multiple issues, tasks and priorities concurrently
  • Knowledge / understanding of the customer, their requirements and their expectations
  • Organisational/co-ordination experience; ability to work with and through others

Our Business:

We respect new perspectives and experiences, and we value our collaborative ways of working. We are committed to growing and supporting diversity in our workforce and ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their potential. MBDA is proud of our employee-led networks, examples include: Gender Equality, Pride, Menopause Matters, Parents and Carers, Armed Forces, Ethnic Diversity, Neurodiversity and more

We recognise that everyone is unique, and we encourage you to speak to us should you require any advice, support or adjustments throughout our recruitment process. We also welcome applicants who are looking for flexible working arrangements.

Follow us on LinkedIn (MBDA), Twitter (@MBDAcareers), Instagram (lifeatMBDA_UK) and Glassdoor or visit our MBDA Careers website for more information.

Please Note: MBDA UK Limited requires all employees to achieve the required medical and national security clearance for their role. Further restrictions and/or limitations relating to nationality and/or rights to work may also apply. As a minimum and after offer stage, all successful candidates will need to undergo HMG Basic Personnel Security Standard checks (BPSS), which are managed by the MBDA Personnel Security Team.
