Our collaborative approach and culture of sharing knowledge will be key to your development. We trust each other to thrive; support one another to learn, and when you join us, you’ll bring a different perspective to how we see the future.

Systems Engineers work on our products at any point in their lifecycle, helping the Military to define, develop and prove both current & future weapon systems.

Based in our Bristol, Bolton and Stevenage sites, we’re looking for graduates to conceptualise new products, investigate exciting scientific breakthroughs, and develop state of the art technology.

Working closely with external parties, subcontractors and government customers you’ll gain experience of a wealth of systems engineering methods and tools.

You'll be supported by experienced engineers to work towards Chartership with all your fees paid by us. You’ll get access to different training opportunities, both to develop your soft skills and the technical skills. To apply, you’ll need to have a Degree in any STEM subject with a minimum of 2:2.
