Luton, United Kingdom Leonardo Full time

Job Description:

An opportunity has arisen within Leonardo UK for a Senior Software Engineer role on the Global Combat Air System Programme (GCAP). Announced by the Prime Minister in December 2022, GCAP will deliver Tempest, the next generation fighter aircraft that will replace the Royal Air Force Typhoon fleet from 2035.

Leonardo UK is pushing the technical boundaries associated with advanced tactical sensing, data fusion, communications, machine learning and defensive aids systems, which collectively will enable Tempest to survive and operate in highly contested threat environments. Leonardo is developing these technologies for demonstration in synthetic environments and on a Flight Test Aircraft. Furthermore, we are working closely with the Ministry of Defence and air platform engineering teams to integrate these capabilities within the Tempest combat aircraft.

This exciting role spans the FCAS Portfolio, covering both operational product development, advanced technology demonstrations and complex service offerings. The Senior Software Engineer opportunity will be primarily focused on engineering work package support and supervision and the delivery of development and demonstration concepts and systems – providing support to engineering management, leadership and early issue identification in conjunction with the project Chief Engineer and Project Engineering Manager.

GCAP is an international endeavour and the successful candidate will have the potential to travel overseas to work with colleagues in Italy and Japan.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to play a fundamental role in a defence programme of critical national importance, and to shape the future of Combat Air capability in the UK.
