Basildon, United Kingdom Leonardo Full time

Job Description:

At Leonardo, we have a fantastic new opportunity for a Principal RF/Radio Systems Engineer. Leonardo is a global high-tech company and one of the key players in Aerospace, Defence and Security. Headquartered in Italy, Leonardo has over 45,000 employees, of which 7,000 are based in the UK.

This Systems Engineering vacancy presents an exciting opportunity for an individual to work on a range of inter-related Electronic Warfare (EW) projects. The work is within the Land domain, with the successful candidate using their Radio and RF systems knowledge to become part of a small, talented R&D team. As a valued member of the team you will be involved in research and development of low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) concepts through use of model based engineering and proof of concept prototype systems, and to demonstrate viability for further development of these ideas into products and system solutions.

As the team Lead System Engineer, your role will be to co-ordinate this team effort to respond with bids and proposals that aim to satisfy a Customer need, and to lead these projects through to a conclusion with a set of recommendations for further work. The team is involved in low TRL research that may not always lead to a product but always produces Intellectual Property. An aptitude to working from sketchy requirement to drive detailed requirement with customer would be advantageous. 

This responsible senior role has potential to develop the candidate towards a Design Authority role. It will require working closely with a small mixed discipline team (Hardware, Embedded SW, Application SW, Firmware etc.) so will benefit from at least a working understanding of a broad range of engineering disciplines.

Although a hybrid working role you will be involved in lab work and trials support, so an element of on-site working will always exist to a varying extent.
