As a Systems Engineer in Tactical Data Link Communications, you will have a key role in the Systems Engineering Team responsible for the design, development and integration of communications and network technologies into MBDA's Weapon Systems.

You will be operating within a multi-disciplinary team delivering communications systems across the whole systems engineering / project lifecycle.

The Opportunity
  • This opportunity is challenging and working at the cutting edge of technical development and delivery of Tactical Data Links for Networked Weapon Systems in MBDA.
  • You will be responsible to the Head of Network Communications Department, or one of the Group Heads within the department, for defining the Tactical Data Link implementation of a number of systems, and other systems engineering tasks, depending on the skills and motivations of the individual, including:

  • Network performance modelling;
  • System modelling using model-based system engineering (using Rhapsody);

What's great about this opportunity?

This is a great role for someone with a passion for TDL communications technology and technical delivery, and for someone motivated by the successful deployment of complex modern weapon systems into military service.

You will be working with technologies at the forefront of European weapon systems design, supporting the development of high performance, safe, secure and reliable products that our customers can rely on.

As a multi-national company, many of the methods and tools we use in this domain are the result of strong international collaboration and consequently there may be the opportunity to work with colleagues in the UK, France, Germany and Italy.
