Description
Ultra Maritime Sonar Systems offers a two-year graduate scheme. Our structured programmes give you the opportunity to designing solutions and solving problems on our diverse range of projects and programmes. We will challenge and support you in equal measure to nurture your potential as an engineer.
Starting in August 2026, during the scheme you will complete several placements around the business, designed to be flexible to support your career objectives and development. These placements will give you the chance to utilise and build your skills across the engineering disciplines as well as gain knowledge of the wider business, such as Project Management, Sales and Marketing, Commercial and Operations.
You should be expecting at least a 2.2 level bachelor’s degree in an Engineering or STEM subject. Masters and PhD candidates equally welcome. Any previous work experience such as internships or work placements is likely to be a bonus.
You need the ability to gain security clearance at SC level.
Ability to travel between sites is useful.
A sample of the activities typically undertaken within each function is given below:
* Developing schematics for electronics to meet system requirements and functional interface specifications.
* Selecting components appropriate for the application and environment being considered.
* Working with the operations and systems teams to ensure the manufacturability, reliability and maintainability of electronic equipment designs.
* During the graduate scheme, you will progress your engineering competence and will have the opportunity to work towards Chartered Engineer status. At all times throughout the scheme, we will provide you with excellent support, including providing you with a mentor and coaching during each placement by senior team members.
At Ultra Maritime, we are committed to supporting and developing future engineers and we have plenty of STEM & Outreach activities for you to get involved in, such as careers fairs, school or university talks, and paid volunteer days. These activities also bolster your communication and presentation skills aiding your progression to Chartered Engineer status.
