Senior Servo Systems Engineer - Southampton, United Kingdom - Leonardo
Description
The Opportunity
At Leonardo, we have a fantastic new opportunity for a Senior Servo Systems Engineer. Leonardo is a global high-tech company and one of the key players in Aerospace, Defence and Security. Headquartered in Italy, Leonardo has over 45,000 employees, of which 7,000 are based in the UK.
Servo control systems engineering is a core competence and differentiating factor in Leonardo's Precision Guidance portfolio of missile seekers and technologies, spanning established products, new developments and extensive research and development. Seekers operate a number of tightly integrated control loops. These are primarily associated with sightline pointing, stabilisation and object tracking in response to sensor feedback. Critically, seekers integrate with the higher-level control functions of the host missile system, requiring a high degree of collaboration, driven through model-based development and culminating in empirical and real-world trial validation.
This Systems Engineering vacancy presents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to develop and grow their skills and knowledge within a thriving organisation. The job holder will be engaged in all aspects of servo control design, spanning concept generation and modelling through to full-scale solutions implemented through model driven engineering. This will integrate with a wide variety of Systems Engineering activities covering the entire engineering lifecycle, including; systems definition, input to estimates and bid activities, requirements apportionment, systems architecting, integration, verification & validation, which will involve proactive interaction and communication with other Engineering and non-Engineering functions.
Candidates with a core capability in servo control engineering plus good awareness of all aspects of Systems Engineering should apply.
Project work at Leonardo is based on both internally funded products and directly funded work with deliverables to key customers within short timescales. If successful, you will be joining a dedicated multi-disciplined Integrated Project Team with a full and stretching workload - with huge potential for personal growth and professional development.
The role will be based from our Basildon site, and will be a mixture of home based/onsite working according to our Custom Working policy. The actual split will be driven by the security needs of the projects and may include up-to 100% site attendance.
