Job Description

Leonardo UK Ltd., a leading defence technology company, is recruiting to support the development of Low Observable (LO) sensors for integration on future airborne platforms. Leonardo’s long heritage in sensor development spans technologies such as Radar, Electronic Warfare, Electro Optic & Infrared sensing, and Communications. We design and produce innovative sensing products and solutions that are supplied to both Defence and Commercial customers worldwide.

Leonardo is working with other industry partners (including BAE Systems, Rolls Royce & MBDA), the RAF’s Rapid Capabilities Office, and the UK Ministry of Defence to develop the technologies needed for the next generation of combat air vehicles. As part of this (and other programmes), Leonardo is looking to recruit experienced and enthusiastic new Engineers & Scientists to meet the challenges ahead and we have opportunities at our Bristol and Luton sites.

As a Lead EM Materials Scientist , you will be working with a specialist team, where you will develop experience and expertise in applying Electromagnetic principles to the design and integration of sensors suitable for use on low observable and other airborne platforms. You will have the opportunity to work with and learn from a wide range of technical experts in the wider areas of antenna design, mechanical engineering and material science, not only within Leonardo, but also from the wider UK team. You will be involved in various stages of development from the concept stage through hardware design, development, manufacture, and design proving and measurement. You will be able to develop an exciting and fulfilling career within our Engineering team and gain exposure to current and novel technologies within this field.

Career development opportunities may include development from a technical specialist role to leading teams or University collaborations in the areas of EM Material Science. A mixture of formal and on-the-job training will be available to introduce new concepts and build on existing skills and experience.

Due to the nature of this role, in order to obtain full SC security clearance (with access to UK Eyes Only and ITAR export-controlled material), any candidate being considered must be a sole UK National.
