You will be joining an exciting, expanding, and rapidly evolving area within MBDA, with the opportunity to work on new and innovative products. With full support in your professional development you'll be able to increase your knowledge and understanding of EW Systems.

What we're looking for from you:

Essential:

  • Awareness of Systems Engineering principles & best practices.
  • Experience of complex system product development
  • Awareness of EW principles and an enthusiasm for working within the domain of EW
  • System Design and Validation engineering skills
  • Proficient in requirements management toolsets (e.g. DOORS).

Desirable:

We would also be keen to see people with a knowledge of Electronic Warfare Operational Support (EWOS) processes, and organisations;

  • EW tactics and techniques;
  • RF System Design;
  • Air Defence & Radar Systems;
  • Weapon System Planning tools and environments;
  • Platform integration;
  • MOD organisations, especially those that relate to EW and Weapon Systems.
  • System Architecting and system development

Our Business:

We respect new perspectives and experiences, and we value our collaborative ways of working. We are committed to growing and supporting diversity in our workforce and ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their potential.

We recognise that everyone is unique, and we encourage you to speak to us should you require any advice, support or adjustments throughout our recruitment process. We also welcome applicants who are looking for flexible working arrangements.
