Job Details
You’ll lead the verification and validation activities for the SPEAR 3 launcher. This new, F-35 compatible, air-to-surface missile would allow an attack with high precision and low collateral damage at stand-off ranges with a cost-efficient missile, against a very broad range of surface targets.
This is the first time MBDA has developed an airborne launcher system and you’ll be at the forefront of establishing the means of proving the system and the multiple variants of the launcher. This will involve trials in the first instance, and then later for flight operations.

- Good understanding of systems engineering processes
- Knowledge of DOORS for requirements management
- Ideally knowledge of configuration management tools like RTC and systems modelling using SysML/ Rhapsody
- You’ll be able to gain experience over the full product life cycle
- Support through training courses on MBSE, systems engineering, and product technology, as well as support from our teams of subject matter experts
- Great opportunities for progression in the short and long term in either technical or managerial directions
We’re a forward thinking team using MBSE to develop our technology and equipment, incorporating multiple projects and future reuse into our strategy. We have a clear purpose, a cooperative team ethic and a strong commitment to quality while embracing change and challenging out-dated working practices.
We understand that flexibility benefits our people, our teams and our business; wherever possible we will seek to accommodate a blended 2-3 days per week approach to on-site and remote working.
