What you'll do as an Industrial Placement Systems Engineer
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 an Industrial Placement Systems Engineer, you will work on real engineering problems. You will have the opportunity to be involved in supporting a wide range of tasks across multiple projects/products, which covers Sea, Land, Air, and space domains. You will join a dynamic and innovative team who will provide day-to-day guidance and on-the-job training, introducing you to systems engineering processes, methods, technology, and tools. You will also receive targeted training, developing the engineering skills and necessary domain knowledge required to achieve technical excellence and be a successful Systems Engineer.

All of our Industrial Placement roles require you to be currently studying a relevant degree discipline such as Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Systems Engineering, Communication Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or Aerospace Engineering.
In addition to this, we would be interested in hearing from you if you have experience in:
1. Coding/programming.
2. Relevant project work and/or placements in industry.
3. Solving problems as part of a team.
4. Applying your science and technology knowledge to solve a real-world problem.
