We are looking for talented Scientists and Engineers with experience in research and collaboration to join us at Leonardo in Luton, Bristol and Lincoln.
Note: You must have five years UK residency as a minimum to apply.
We are not expecting you to have domain knowledge of electronic warfare systems, or significant experience in engineering. What we are looking for are scientists and engineers looking to build their technical knowledge through training, team working, and one-to-one mentoring.
Leonardo is a global leader in defence electronics and delivers mission-critical systems for situational awareness, electronic warfare and surveillance across land, sea and air.
The Electronic Warfare and Major Air Programmes lines of business are uniquely positioned as one of the world's top developers of electronic surveillance and countermeasure systems as well as being a core member of the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), developing Tempest, the next generation fighter aircraft that will replace the RAF’s Typhoon.
Typical Responsibilities:
1. Contribute or lead an early concept study investigating whether new types of algorithm could improve the detection of threats at range.
2. Support the development and implementation of data fusion across multiple sensor types.
3. Develop simulators used in supporting test and validation of processing solutions.
What we can offer you:
1. Flexible working: We offer our employees the time and flexibility they need to enjoy a balanced life.
2. Continuous Learning: You’ll be supported in ongoing personal development, including access to thousands of online courses free of charge via Coursera and LinkedIn Learning.
3. Annual leave: 25 days holiday plus eight bank holidays.
4. Flexible benefits: Our company-funded approach to flexible benefits allows employees to make choices appropriate for them.
5. Employee discount schemes: Access to everyday discounts with many high street and online retailers, restaurants and days out.
6. Family friendly policies.
7. Positive support for the Reserve Forces, including additional time off for Reservists.
What you will get:
1. Advanced Technology: You will have the ability to contribute to the development of market-leading product development, providing advanced capability and protection to UK platforms.
2. Agile Systems Engineering: Apply and develop your skills in a fast-paced and dynamic agile development team.
3. EW Expertise: Leonardo has subject-matter experts with extensive and detailed knowledge of the EW domain, technology, performance, and operational capabilities.
4. Continuous Learning: Whether it’s EW, leadership, or personal development, you’ll be supported in your ongoing professional development through training and mentoring.
5. Teamwork: Working alongside like-minded engineers in a highly collaborative environment.
6. Connections: Leonardo has an expansive team of over 7,000 people at six major sites across the UK.
What we are looking for:
You will have a PhD, EngD or other relevant research experience within a Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subject.
We would be interested in hearing from you if you also have:
1. Experience of collaborating with others either within your research group or wider afield.
2. A drive for continuous improvement of your own skills and knowledge.
3. A methodical approach to solving large complex problems.
4. Experience in planning, leading and overseeing technical research or development tasks.
5. An appreciation of the Systems Engineering process.
6. Coding is central to our day to day work. You should have some experience of using a programming language to solve problems or develop models. Experience using Matlab and Simulink would be an advantage.
Due to the nature of our work, you must be capable of achieving a minimum of SC security clearance and will require access to caveated information such as UK eyes only. Please see the UK National Security Vetting site for more details.
Some roles may require office-based working, based at Luton, Bristol or Lincoln.
