Job Description Note: You must have five years UK residency as a minimum to apply.
We are looking for talented Scientists and Engineers with experience in research and collaboration to join us at Leonardo in Luton, Bristol, and Lincoln.
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
Contribute or lead an early concept study investigating whether new types of algorithm could improve the detection of threats at range.
Support the development and implementation of data fusion across multiple sensor types.
Develop simulators used in supporting test and validation of processing solutions.
Minimum Requirements 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:
Experience of collaborating with others either within your research group or wider afield.
A drive for continuous improvement of your own skills and knowledge.
A methodical approach to solving large complex problems.
Experience in planning, leading, and overseeing technical research or development tasks.
An appreciation of the Systems Engineering process.
Coding experience 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.
What We Can Offer You
Flexible working - We offer our employees the time and flexibility they need to enjoy a balanced life.
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.
Annual leave - 25 days holiday plus eight bank holidays.
Pension scheme - Our award-winning pension scheme includes generous employer contributions.
Flexible benefits - Our company-funded approach to flexible benefits allows employees to make choices appropriate for them.
Employee discount schemes - Access to everyday discounts with many high street and online retailers, restaurants, and days out.
Family-friendly policies.
Positive support for the Reserve Forces, including additional time off for Reservists.
Connections Leonardo has an expansive team of over 7,000 people at six major sites across the UK.
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.
Some roles may require office-based working, based at Luton, Bristol, or Lincoln.
