Job description

Are you:

  • Transitioning out of the Armed Forces?
  • From an engineering/technical background?

Then the Systems Engineering LEAP programme is for you!


What is the Systems Engineering LEAP programme?:

The Systems Engineering LEAP Programme is designed for great people who have transferable skills, delivering opportunities to start a career in Systems Engineering with a leading UK Defence company.

  • 18-month year fully paid Systems Engineering development programme.
  • Giving you a great career in Systems Engineering.
  • Structured applied training and development journey.
  • Employment with a leading Defence company working on the latest programmes.
  • Mentoring and peer to peer community support throughout.
  • Future permanent employment.


What you'll do as a Systems Engineer:


Systems Engineers work across a range of activities that help pull together all the necessary engineering and technology strands into a complex system. As a Systems Engineer, you will bridge the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.

We are searching for the next generation of Systems Engineers who come from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based on your skills and foundation knowledge, we will provide suitable training and skills enhancement to transform you into a Systems Engineer.

Typical work you might be involved in includes conducting early-stage research, engaging with stakeholders, transforming stakeholder needs into specifications, creating system architectures/designs, analysing designs, supporting integration/build, writing test plans, and supporting installation and trials.


What we need from you:

We are not expecting you to have deep theoretical knowledge of the technologies; what we are looking for is people with an engineering background that we can build upon through training, team working and mentoring.

Personal attributes and values are just as important to us as technical ability, so we are looking for engineers with a willingness to learn, progress and develop through our devoted technical career path. You will need to be:

  • Committed - We're seeking people who are committed to personal development and a new career in Systems Engineering.
  • Keen to Develop - No matter how good our development programme is, it will require pro-active learning within your role; the faster you learn, the more accelerated your development will be.
  • Analytical and Methodical - Together these traits enable Systems Engineers to create robust and scalable systems, ensuring they always meet the user needs.
  • Curious - Systems Engineers need to understand the "why", so being naturally curious will put you well on your way to being great at this new career already!
  • Open minded - You'll be working with multi-disciplinary and diverse teams of people, so a positive and open mind is essential.


All successful applicants must be eligible for full security clearance and access to UK-caveated and ITAR controlled information.


Apply now to find out more about the LEAP Programme and embark on an exciting new career in Systems Engineering!
