Why BAE Systems?
This is a place where you’ll be able to make a real difference. You’ll be part of an inclusive culture that values diversity, rewards integrity and merit, and where you’ll be empowered to fulfil your potential. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and particularly from sections of the community who are currently underrepresented within our industry, including women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ individuals.
What you will be doing
As an Undergraduate Metrologist, you will be working within an exciting and collaborative team, which pulls together knowledge and expertise from multiple engineering disciplines (including Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic and Software specialisms), to develop, deploy and support complex measurement and monitoring systems from cradle to grave.
The Metrology department’s work involves taking instrumentation equipment and systems throughout their entire lifecycle from requirements to prototype, testing, commissioning and deployment. The department is involved in using specialist measurement equipment (e.g. micrometers, voltmeters, multimeters and pressure gauges) to take accurate and repeatable measurements for a wide array of parameters in new and unique ways (including temperature, dimensions, accelerometry, mass, pressure, shock, non-ionising radiation, ionising radiation, noise and vibration, torque, voltage and current).
Duties and Responsibilities
* Building, integrating and testing bespoke instrumentation solutions where suitable commercial options aren’t available.
* Supporting novel research projects connected to advance and novel sensing (e.g. how to sense strain).
* Supporting emergent site instrumentation projects identifying effective solutions to emerging problems related to metrology and calibration.
* Installing, maintaining, and repairing in-service monitoring systems installed throughout the Barrow site (e.g. detecting and monitoring ionising and non-ionising radiation).
* Helping to deploy, operate, and maintain monitoring systems used to support various manufacturing and trials activities across all submarine build programmes.
* Managing data quality and integrity for manufacturing and trials instrumentation systems.
Skills
As a minimum requirement you’ll need to be on track to obtain a 2.2 in your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Control Engineering, Software Engineering, Physics, or Maths, or relevant STEM degree (Biology or Chemistry).
Opportunities for Growth and Development
We encourage employees to explore projects beyond their primary responsibilities, providing them with diverse experiences. With a wide range of products and a multinational presence, there are ample opportunities for employees to engage in various projects and initiatives.
Benefits
You’ll receive benefits including a competitive pension scheme, enhanced annual leave allowance, and a company-contributed Share Incentive Plan. You’ll also have access to additional benefits such as flexible working, an employee assistance programme, Cycle2work, and employee discounts. You may also be eligible for an annual incentive.
