6 months ago
Job Description:
At We are looking for highly motivated individuals who are willing to take on a challenge to fill our industrial placement roles, and we will demand a high degree of customer focus and work performance from you in order to meet our operational challenges. If you are willing able to commit to giving your best performance, you will find Leonardo a very rewarding place to work
Do you want to work on real-time projects alongside leading scientists and engineers within a globally renowned company?
Systems Engineers are involved in all aspects of design and development; from initial product design through to in-service support.
They look at the big picture, determine how the system needs to operate and collaborate to produce the required overall operational behaviours. They also dive into the deepest level of detail – taking the system piece-by-piece and defining its design to the finest point. Our Systems Engineers can also actively engage in R&D, developing new concepts and conducting fundamental research into our future technologies.
As a Summer Placement Systems Engineer, you will work on real engineering problems within either the Radar or the Advanced Targeting business area. You will have the opportunity to be involved in supporting a wide range of tasks across multiple projects/products, such as:
The radar for the Typhoon fighter jet
The radar for the SAAB Gripen fighter
Our family of Surveillance AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radars
An IRCM (Infra-Red Counter Measures) system
Our laser target designator or laser ranging systems
Core activities within Systems Engineering include:
Requirements capture, design documentation, verification and validation.
Algorithm design and test.
Performance modelling; building physics-based models to test our designs through computer simulation.
Data analysis; end-to-end systems analysis using synthetic and ‘real world’ data.
Applied research; from product improvements to blue-sky thinking.
You will work with an experienced engineer who will provide day-to-day guidance and on-the-job training. You will be introduced to systems engineering processes, methods, technology and tools, with particular emphasis placed on learning practical skills that may not be easily gained or experienced in the academic environment of a university.
All of our Industrial Placement roles require a minimum of a predicted 2:1 grade in a relevant degree discipline. For technical roles please note that our preferred degree disciplines include Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, or other STEM subject degrees.
In addition to this, we would be interested in hearing from you if you have experience in:
Coding/programming.
Relevant project work and/or placements in industry.
Solving problems as part of a team
Applying your science and technology knowledge to solve a real world problem
