Are passionate about photonics, lasers, and optical systems.
Have a strong engineering mindset with a focus on product delivery and real-world application.
Can learn quickly and adapt in a fast-paced environment.
Enjoy solving complex technical challenges.
Work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Early Career Opportunities

Laser systems or photonics technologies.
Machine vision and control systems.
Sensing and detection technologies.
Test, evaluation, and experimental methods.

Typical responsibilities include:
Supporting the development, integration, and testing of optical systems
Producing technical reports and presenting results.
Contributing to multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Supporting trials and field deployments across the UK.

You will receive structured development and mentoring to accelerate your growth.

Mid-Career Opportunities

As an experienced engineer, you will contribute from day one to the delivery of complex, high-value systems .

In addition to core engineering responsibilities, you will:
Lead or contribute to product development and qualification activities.
Define and manage technical work packages.
Support and write technical proposals and bids.
Engage directly with customers and stakeholders.
Influence project technical direction and delivery.

You will also have opportunities to develop into technical leadership and project leadership roles .

Senior & Principal Opportunities

As a senior engineer, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering QinetiQ’s LDEW strategy, with a strong emphasis on system-level integration, product maturity, and operational capability .

Responsibilities include:
