Midlothian, United Kingdom Leonardo UK Ltd Full time

**The opportunity**:
We have an exciting opportunity for an engineer to develop the knowledge and skills required to become an independent structural specialist. This role presents the opportunity for a suitably skilled individual to assist as a deputy to the Radar and Advanced Targeting authority, whilst acquiring the knowledge and experience to progress and become an approved signatory for structural integrity and a named individual on the UK Military Aviation Authority (MAA) Design Approved Organisation Scheme (DAOS).

Leonardo is a global leader in defence electronics and delivers systems for situational awareness, electronic defence and surveillance across land, sea and air. The Radar and Advanced Targeting (RATs) line of business, based in Edinburgh, is uniquely positioned as one of the world's top designers, developers and manufacturers of radars, lasers and infrared countermeasure systems.

Your role as a Lead Mechanical Specialist will be to support our design, develop and testing of our world leading radar and electro-optic products in attaining associated structural certification. You will be utilising state-of-the-art methods, technology and tools to explore all aspects of the development lifecycle, including stress and thermal analysis, requirements analysis, design, implementation, test, build and product support.

You will be directly involved with the agreement on the testing (Safety of Flight, Qualification, Design Proving etc.) which supports flight & structural clearance release of Company products. You will be involved in the review and acceptance of various manufacturing processes used in company products: castings, brazed assemblies, bonded structures, laser welding and the development and acceptance for structural certification of new technologies, processes and methods. You will interface with customers (internal and external) on many aspects within the design lifecycle and liaise closely with Engineers from other disciplines, including Design Integrity, Systems, Electronics, Project Engineering Leads and appropriate suppliers.

Mechanical Engineering will provide the support and environment necessary to acquire skills to the required standards for this role and for future development to become an approved signatory.

**What you'll do as a Lead Mechanical Specialist**:

- Undertake independent reviews and guidance of evidence artefacts which support Airworthiness / Structural clearance approval including: Product Specifications, Mechanical Analysis Reports (Stress & Thermal), Qualification Test Procedures and Test Reports, Design Standards including Stress Critical Parts, ICDS, AEII, Operating & Maintenance Manuals, Compliance/Verification Matrix, Supplier Supporting Evidence and other artefacts.
- Work closely with the RATs Structural Clearance Approval authority and Design Integrity in support of achieving Company Product Certification requirements.
- Adhere to standards for mechanical engineering best practice.
- Support the mechanical management team in process and departmental improvement and development activities.
- Continue professional development throughout your career by formal training, learning “on the job” and keeping up to date with the latest developments, which may aid performance.

**What we need from you**:

- You will hold a degree in a relevant discipline (for example Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or Aeronautical Engineering) or demonstrate equivalent job related experience.
- You will be a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and a Full Member of a recognised Engineering Institution (e.g. IMechE) or have the necessary competencies to obtain Chartered status with the IMechE.
- It would be desirable for you to have knowledge and experience in support of becoming a named individual on the UK Military Aviation Authority (MAA) Design Approved Organisation Scheme (DAOS).
- An understanding of specifying loading environments (based on recognised military/civil standards) applicable to airborne equipment is required.
- Experience and understanding of qualification testing of equipment in support of Airworthiness/Structural clearance approval (as part of Product Certification) is important.
- Working knowledge of the Classification & Grading of Stress Critical/Aircraft Standard Parts to recognised military/civil standards is required.
- Experience of undertaking independent reviews of Company Products.
