Your Impact

We have an opportunity for a skilled engineering manager to join the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) Multifunction RF System (MRFS) IPT, leading the interdisciplinary team that will deliver one of our key Technology Demonstrator programmes (TDP) into GCAP. This is a key leadership role, working with the Chief Engineer and Head of Engineering to identify, develop and deliver the technical solution. You will work closely with Leonardo’s internal engineering team that is tasked with delivering the main GCAP programme.

This is an exciting time within the GCAP programme, this engineering manager will play an important role in bringing together critical technology components into demonstrator hardware that will be tested and incorporated into future GCAP concepts and designs, ultimately contributing to our most advanced RF sensor to date.

As this role has a high profile with our customers and partners, it may require travel within the UK and abroad.

Ensuring the design solution meets the end user requirement, is reliable, fully documented and works within the designated environment
Coordinate engineering input to bid activities

You really must have:

Ability to achieve DV level security clearance

Knowledge of a broad range of engineering disciplines
Experience of consortium projects
Experience of the application of continuous improvement principles
Experience with New Product Introduction
