Systems Engineer - All Levels
At Leonardo, we solve real-world engineering challenges, designing and developing mission critical solutions that power some of the world's most advanced defence and security systems.
Key Areas You Will Work On
- Radar systems for fighter jets such as the Typhoon and SAAB Gripen.
- GCAP - Future Generation Radar & Electro Optical Targeting products.
- Infra Red Counter Measures (IRCM) systems.
- Laser target designators and ranging systems.
- Surveillance AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radars.
Key Skills You'll Use & Develop
- Problem Definition & Systems Thinking - Break down complex engineering problems into structured, solvable components; define clear system level requirements based on stakeholder needs.
- Systems Architecture & Modelling - Design and develop high performance system architectures using MBSE; use Simulink, MATLAB or synthetic environments to simulate and refine system behaviour.
- Data Processing & Analysis - Apply signal processing, image processing and object classification techniques to extract actionable insights; develop multi sensor data fusion and tracking capabilities for real time applications.
- Integration, Testing & Validation - Investigate system anomalies using real trial data to ensure performance meets specifications; design and execute verification & validation (V&V) strategies across the system lifecycle.
- Collaboration & Leadership - Work alongside multidisciplinary teams to develop and prototype cutting edge defence solutions; depending on experience, lead technical initiatives, mentor junior engineers and influence engineering roadmaps.
What You Will Use Your Skills For
- Contribute to early stage concept studies, investigating the impact of new technology on future platforms.
- Engage with stakeholders to translate operational needs into engineering solutions, developing and integrating system functionality while considering hardware limitations and real world constraints.
- Model, simulate and analyse system performance to drive design decisions.
- Troubleshoot and refine existing systems, identifying improvements through real world testing.
What Else Would Help
- Proven experience leading systems engineering projects from design to implementation.
- Passion for systems engineering.
- Ability to lead cross functional teams and manage competing priorities effectively.
- A science based Honours degree or equivalent industry experience.
