  • Strong leadership competency and ability to demonstrate team-working skills.
  • Able to develop close relationships with internal and external stakeholders to understand, interpret, and influence current and future user needs and requirements.

Desirable Skills

  • Proven technical expertise and management on defence programmes and full knowledge and experience of other related disciplines.
  • Understanding of financial management and impacts on programmes.
  • Experience in customer-facing roles and interaction with senior external personnel on significant engineering matters.

The Rewards

In this exciting role, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of market-leading products, providing advanced capability and protection to UK and international platforms. You will also be part of a dynamic agile development team applying and developing your knowledge of systems engineering.

Leonardo offers a competitive salary of £80,000 - £110,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus a range of benefits including continuous learning opportunities, teamwork, connections, and a rich heritage in defence electronics.
