Job Title: Research Scientist
Job Location: Basildon UK
Job Location Type: Hybrid
Job Contract Type: Fulltime
Job Seniority Level: Entry level
Job Description
Note You must have five years UK residency as a minimum to apply.
We are looking for talented Scientists and Engineers with experience in research and collaboration to join us at Leonardo in Luton Bristol and Lincoln.
We are not expecting you to have domain knowledge of electronic warfare systems or significant experience in engineering. What we are looking for are scientists and engineers looking to build their technical knowledge through training team working and onetoone mentoring.
Leonardo is a global leader in defence electronics and delivers missioncritical systems for situational awareness electronic warfare and surveillance across land sea and air.
The Electronic Warfare and Major Air Programmes lines of business are uniquely positioned as one of the world's top developers of electronic surveillance and countermeasure systems as well as being a core member of the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) developing Tempest the next generation fighter aircraft that will replace the RAF’s Typhoon.
Our Systems Engineers cover a wide variety of roles
Applied research Early research looking into exploiting new technologies or concepts
Highlevel design Understanding the impact of design decisions on performance
Lowlevel design Detailed design prototyping and optimisation of a particular solution using expertise within their technical domain
As a Systems Engineer you will bridge the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable in a real system. We need talented scientists and engineers to take early concepts from a variety of sources and turn them into working solutions.
You do not need a background in engineering to make a difference. Our System Engineers predominantly come from science backgrounds. Many of these people at Leonardo have PhDs/EngDs from a diverse range of research domains across STEM.
We will support you in your technical and professional development whatever your background and provide challenging technical work to allow you to excel. Our working environment is fastpaced but relaxed. We value the expertise of our engineers and work to ensure they have the autonomy and confidence to make decisions themselves or as a team. We put trust in all our engineers to ensure they remain in control of their work and future career prospects.
We are recruiting for a number of roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based upon your skills and foundation knowledge we will assess where your knowledge and skills would best fit and discuss options with you.
Due to the nature of our work you must be capable of achieving a minimum of SC security clearance and will require access to caveated information such as UK eyes only. Please see the UK National Security Vetting site for more details.
Some roles may require officebased working based at Luton Bristol or Lincoln.
Typical work you might be involved in
Contribute or lead an early concept study investigating whether new types of algorithm could improve the detection of threats at range
Support the development and implementation of data fusion across multiple sensor types
Develop simulators used in supporting test and validation of processing solutions
What we can offer you
Flexible working We offer our employees the time and flexibility they need to enjoy a balanced life
Continuous Learning You’ll be supported in ongoing personal development including access to thousands of online courses free of charge via Coursera and LinkedIn Learning
Annual leave 25 days holiday plus eight bank holidays

What you will get
Advanced Technology You will have the ability to contribute to the development of marketleading product development providing advanced capability and protection to UK platforms
Agile Systems Engineering Apply and develop your skills in a fastpaced and dynamic agile development team
EW Expertise Leonardo has subjectmatter experts with extensive and detailed knowledge of the EW domain technology performance and operational capabilities providing the latest advances in sensor technology and enabling our customers to keep pace with an everevolving EW environment
Continuous Learning Whether it’s EW leadership or personal development you’ll be supported in your ongoing professional development though training and mentoring
Teamwork Working alongside likeminded engineers in a highly collaborative environment
Connections Leonardo has an expansive team of over 7000 people at six major sites across the UK

We would be interested in hearing from you if you also have
Experience of collaborating with others either within your research group or wider afield
A drive for continuously improvement of your own skills and knowledge
A methodical approach to solving large complex problems
Experience in planning leading and overseeing technical research or development tasks
An appreciation of the Systems Engineering process
Coding is central to our day to day work. You should have some experience of using a programming language to solve problems or develop models. Experience using Matlab and Simulink would be an advantage
