The Opportunity
At Leonardo, we have a fantastic new opportunity for a Senior Servo 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.
Servo control systems engineering is a core competence and differentiating factor in Leonardo’s Precision Guidance portfolio of missile seekers and technologies, spanning established products, new developments and extensive research and development. Seekers operate a number of tightly integrated control loops associated with sightline pointing, stabilisation and object tracking in response to sensor feedback. Critically, seekers integrate with the higher-level control functions of the host missile system, requiring a high degree of collaboration, driven through model-based development and culminating in empirical and real-world trial validation.
This Systems Engineering vacancy presents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to develop and grow their skills and knowledge within a thriving organisation. The job holder will be engaged in all aspects of servo control design, spanning concept generation and modelling through to full-scale solutions implemented through model driven engineering. This will integrate with a wide variety of Systems Engineering activities covering the entire engineering lifecycle, including systems definition, input to estimates and bid activities, requirements apportionment, systems architecting, integration, verification & validation, which will involve proactive interaction and communication with other Engineering and non-Engineering functions.
Project work at Leonardo is based on both internally funded products and directly funded work with deliverables to key customers within short timescales. If successful, you will be joining a dedicated multi-disciplined Integrated Project Team with a full and stretching workload - with huge potential for personal growth and professional development.
The role will be based from our Basildon site, and will be a mixture of home based/onsite working according to our Custom Working policy. The actual split will be driven by the security needs of the projects and may include up-to 100% site attendance.
What You'll Do
* Concept generation, theoretical analysis and modelling of dynamic systems for servo control mechanisms.
* Development of dynamic control algorithms to meet system performance requirements.
* Selection and specification of control components.
* Specification and production of embedded control software and firmware.
* Generation of test plans and specifications.
* Development of Matlab scripts and functions to support testing and evaluation.
* Support to module and system-level integration, execution of testing and analysis of test recordings and results.
* Complete development of formal models representing the applicable control system.
* Adherence to Leonardo's Engineering governance.
* Support to new and existing product line operations as required.
* Maintaining an organised record of project related decisions, risks, actions & opportunities.
* The preparation of system and sub-system technical requirements.
You must be eligible for full security clearance.
What We're Looking For
You really should have:
* Theory of linear & non-linear dynamic feedback control systems.
* Thorough understanding of rotational and translational geometry.
* Appreciation of fundamentals of electro-mechanical designs.
* Experience of MATLAB/Simulink and Simulink Coder.
* An appreciation of real-time embeddable Software and Firmware.
* Understanding of characteristics and representation of control components.
It would be nice if you had:
* Previous experience working with control systems for precision guidance applications.
* Previous experience working with military systems.
* Knowledge of military and international specifications and standards.
* Configuration control using tools.
