The Opportunity:

We have a fantastic opportunity to join our Electro-Optical (EO) Seekers & Sensors Department as an EO Technologist.

As a Department, we are responsible for supporting MBDA's complex weapon programmes through the provision of specialist EO support, as well as engaging in cutting-edge R&D activities – both internally, and pan-industry – to support the emerging, next-generation programmes.

This is an exciting role; the successful applicant will join our EO Technology Group, where you will have the opportunity to work on and develop a range of innovative EO technologies and methodologies. The EO Technology Group has the responsibility for defining and owning MBDA's EO technology roadmaps in order to support the future needs of the MBDA's complex weapon portfolio. Your role will centre on developing and demonstrating the associated technologies and techniques through a combination of in-house laboratory & field testing, computational modelling and analysis based on the underpinning science.

You will work within a highly skilled, experienced and multi-disciplinary team that will support you in delivering on our commitments. We will work with you to develop your skill, knowledge and experience, as well as supporting your ongoing professional development, all while ensuring a good work-life balance.

What we're looking for from you:

  • A well-rounded, technically-minded engineer or scientist with an understanding of optical systems; experience of infrared imaging or Lidar systems is desirable but not essential.
  • Have a proven track record of on-time delivery; particularly in a dynamic working environment.
  • Able to engage with a broad range of internal and external partners, and forge strategic technical relationships.
  • Be adaptable, self-starting and able to work both independently and as part of a team.
  • Basic project management knowledge, including planning and risk-management, or an aspiration to learn and develop this skill on-the-job.
  • Experience of experiment and/or trials design, data analysis and physics-based model development.
  • Working knowledge of Matlab, Simulink and/or Python is essential.
  • An interest in algorithm development, deep learning and real-time processing is desirable; as is an interest in or experience of CAD and 3D printing.
  • The desire to see innovative concepts from the early R&D phase, through to demonstration and ultimately product development.
