You will be working closely with experienced or senior engineers to learn about the practical use of engineering methods, tools and processes.
You will contribute to the planning and execution of tasks in order to deliver specific agreed objectives on time, demonstrating control and accountability of cost and quality.
You will support the progress of designs through the product lifecycle.
You will be accountable for understanding the hazards and associated risks of any work conducted and, where required, safely use specialised equipment.
Within the role, responsibilities include:
Assessment of new designs for suitability for service use.
Delivery, assessment, and testing of warhead electrical/electronic systems and components.
Test and assessment of components and systems as part of an ongoing surveillance programme.
Specification of trials and surveillance activities.

Who are we looking for?

Ability to use schematic capture, simulation and/or PCB layout software packages.
Competence in some engineering applications e.g. 3D CAD, Circuit Design and Simulation, Programming.
Training will be provided, and opportunities to study for further qualifications are available.
You'll need to have the ability to work calmly and constructively in a priority changing environment and be able to manage your own workload. You will also have initiative, enthusiasm, a flexible approach, and ability to work to tight deadlines.
Work hard, be rewarded:
We ask a lot and set the bar high because our work truly matters. In return we offer balance, with award winning benefits including:
9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
