All members of the Engineering Team are encouraged to continually develop their technical skills within design, (structural & thermal) analyses, and model-driven engineering aspects of Mechanical Engineering.

Leonardo offers a mixture of on-site and remote working, with attendance at our facility in Essex required when programme requirements dictate.

    Physics or Opto-Electronics.
  2. A proven understanding of classical optics principles.
  3. Lens design and optical analysis.
  4. Experience in the use of industry-recognized tools i.e. OpticStudio, Code V, FRED, etc.
  5. An appreciation of Mechanical and Electronics designs associated with Electro-Optical Systems.
  6. Problem-solving using a structured, logical approach to investigate issues and problems in an effective manner.
  7. Involvement in the test and manufacture of optical systems (demonstration models or volume production).
Desirable:
  1. MSc or PhD in an applied optics field or related.
  2. Experience in the definition and commissioning of Optical Testing.
  3. Knowledge of laser optics.
  4. Electro-Optical Systems modelling (range performance, sensors, etc).
