Do you want to head up and grow a group that develops software at the heart of some of the world’s most sophisticated missile systems?
We have a great opportunity for a “Group Lead” to help shape, support and develop a team of around 25 people working on several different Embedded Software projects.

What we’re looking for
  • Being passionate about people – keen to understand what motivates your team and looking to encourage and inspire them to grow.
  • Someone comfortable coaching, mentoring and leading managers; your team of managers are responsible for the delivery of a really high quality product into complex overall programmes, where the software is a crucial element.
  • Well-honed organisational skills and plenty of experience in steering the development of products from inception through to delivery.
  • While not essential, it would be beneficial for you to have a background in developing software for embedded products; some knowledge of electronics and the additional complexities of developing software that is a part of a bigger product which is itself evolving at the same time.
What’s in it for you?
  • This is a role for someone with a passion for embedded software and its successful deployment in modern systems. Working with technologies at the forefront of European missile systems design.
  • The opportunity to forge positive relationships with Electronics Engineers, Chief Engineers, Programme Managers, Department Heads and leads from various parts of the business.
  • Your group is responsible for developing highly dependable embedded, real-time software for missile subsystems – this includes datalink systems, telemetry systems, data recorders and actuators and may grow to include aspects of radars, electro-optical sensors and launchers.
  • Many of our projects are the result of international collaboration and consequently there may be the opportunity to work with colleagues at our development sites in France, Italy and Germany.
  • We offer a supportive and encouraging working environment where you can develop your skills across a diverse range of products and technologies.
Join a great team!
  • A department that produces software that makes a difference!
  • You’ll get to work with a huge variety of people of different backgrounds and expertise, passionate about building solutions to sophisticated and complex challenges – you will represent software engineering in these discussions and help shape the future of MBDA’s products.
  • The team has an excellent mix of skills and experiences drawn from both academia and industry, and is well positioned for future growth.
