MBDA Missile Systems - Deliver For A More Secure Tomorrow

You'll join our Data Link Centre of Excellence leading the systems engineering aspects of a new datalink under development to arm the current and future versions of the Rafale combat aircraft.

• Systems engineering experience (ideally in defence-standard hardware, firmware, software)
• Proficient in DOORS for requirements management
• Familiar with configuration control systems (e.g. Rational Team Concert)
• Understanding of RF Systems is beneficial (e.g. design challenges associated with RF circuits, information assurance, and cyber security considerations)

Here's what's in it for you

• Working with an international team across multiple business functions (Electronics, Software design, Mechanical design, RF Electronics, Environmental testing etc) to lead the development of cutting edge technology.
• Opportunities to develop your technical knowledge and competencies whilst progressing within MBDA.
• This is a relatively small department so there is opportunity to shape and grow with it.
• Opportunities to work on multiple other programmes including CAMM, FCASW and Meteor.
