Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Leonardo Full time

Job Description:

Leonardo is a world-class defence technology company in the heart of Edinburgh. We create cutting edge Radars for the Eurofighter Typhoon, as well as Maritime and Airborne surveillance systems. We are also investors in innovation, undertaking all our own research to fuel our future products. We are recruiting talented, motivated engineers to join our growing team. We offer roles at all levels to match your skills and experience including Hardware Engineer, Senior Hardware Engineer, Principal Hardware Engineer, and Lead Hardware Engineer.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Principal Hardware Engineer to join the PSU Core Delivery Team (CDT) Team in Edinburgh. The Team provides expert advice, guidance, design, and governance throughout the full lifecycle of all projects on site for matters pertaining to Power.

What sort of work would I be involved in?

As an experienced PSU design engineer, your primary role is to lay the groundwork for the future Power Systems we require in the near and far term. PSU topology analysis and associated new technologies in Energy Storage and Energy Conservation, including limiting the disturbances seen by the Generator, will be key to your and our success in the future.

The role includes the need to support adhoc and emerging power-related tasks on the other Projects the PSU CDT is involved in. An overarching understanding of power techniques and the ability to step into a live issue is required.

The role also requires the ability for general oversight of several Projects, acting as a technical and managerial buffer between the Engineering, Project, and PSU CDT Management Teams.

Great work-life balance.
