    The opportunity

    MBDA Missiles cannot complete their missions without critical Navigation Sensors on board, withstanding enemy interference and providing robust navigation data to guide the missile to the target. Your work will directly influence the design of real missiles, with frequent exposure to high-profile, fast-paced projects.

    The Navigation Sensors Group are responsible for the design of the missile navigation subsystems, including identifying and testing equipment from specialist manufacturers – this includes GPS receivers, anti-jam equipment, and Inertial Measurement Units.

    You can choose to be based at either our Stevenage or Bristol site. Over the course of your 10-week placement you'll get involved in:

    • Supporting tests and trials to evaluate and assess navigation equipment performance

    • Research and design activities to develop the next generation of navigation equipment

    • Monitoring supplier and technology developments and identifying future technologies

    • Collaborating with suppliers and researchers for the development and maturation of new and emerging technology

    • Investigating engineering problems and conducting rapid technical analyses

    In this role, you'll work in a varied and dynamic environment, including as part of an international team with our colleagues in MBDA France and the wider MBDA Group. You'll work alongside other departments to increase your knowledge on the complexities of a missile, including datalinks, seekers and sensors, and work closely with Integration and System Validation teams.

    The work is technically challenging, innovative and rewarding. You'll be working alongside experienced engineers who will encourage and help you develop the skills required to be an effective Navigation Electronic Warfare Engineer.

    What we're looking for from you

    Working towards a degree in a Physics, Mathematics, Electronics, or Engineering discipline.
