With the majority of the Test Equipment team being based in Stevenage, Bolton and Bristol based engineers will need to have relevant transferable Military or Aerospace experience and the ability to work autonomously.

Dynamic (hybrid) working: Where project needs allow, we will seek to accommodate a blended approach to on-site and remote working such as being onsite when necessary to work with people and collaborate, then working from home and around family commitments to work where you are most efficient.

Security Clearance: British Citizen or a Dual UK national with British citizenship

Restrictions and/or limitations relating to nationality and/or rights to work may apply. As a minimum and after offer stage, all successful candidates will need to undergo HMG Basic Personnel Security Standard checks (BPSS), which are managed by the MBDA Personnel Security Team.

  • Facilities: Fantastic site facilities including subsidised meals, free car parking and much more.

The opportunity:

Your role will be to define and specify test approaches; identifying any potential improvements to test/diagnostic processes. You will be involved in the design process at all stages, supporting design reviews and manufacturing queries, reporting into the Technical Lead or Equipment Project Manager.

You will have the opportunity to lead on packages of work, manage deliveries and assign work to senior design engineers.

Working in an international environment, this is a fantastic opportunity to broaden your expertise and play an important role in the delivery of our products.

Additional Opportunities depending on experience:
  • Technical Leadership - You will take ownership for and lead the development of test equipment technical design solutions. You will be responsible for leading a package or packages of work, manage resourcing needs and deliveries while leading your own team.
  • Test Equipment Architect - Working within the established Test Equipment Architecture team, you'll be advising the customer; providing guidance and feedback on the Test Equipment requirements; disseminating the requirements into a system design (providing the solution architecture), and working to ensure the developed test system meets its system requirements. You should be able to act as an authority on test equipment aspects to the design teams and the project.

What we're looking for from you:
  • Skilled Hardware Design Engineers with proven experience to support the design, integration and validation of test system hardware solutions.
  • Knowledge of test needs and techniques in support of product life cycle development.
  • Experience of Design Proving and performance testing during development.
