Electrical/Electronic Engineers within the Missile Architecture function are deployed across various exciting projects to define the topology and system level design for our missiles, as well as manage the missile electrical/electronic equipment.
During your placements you'll get the opportunities to work on the design and specification of the overall system, learn including how to undertake and manage design and performance trade-off studies, influence delivery of bespoke subsystem electrical/electronic equipment into the project (e.g. control units, PSUs, data links, actuation systems, telemetry units, etc.) along with the possibility to assist with testing and trials of components and missiles during the development phase.
