You'll influence architecture decisions, guide system integration, and work on cutting-edge optical and laser products used globally in critical defence environments. As the business continues to grow, there's a real opportunity to take on more responsibility, lead new technical areas, and progress your career as part of a future-focused engineering team.
The Opportunity
Lead the design and integration of optical subsystems.
Develop architectures & refine requirements.
Work directly with multi-disciplinary teams
System integration activities on next-generation product development.
Support proposals, design and customer engagements.
Grow with the business as their engineering function continues to expand.
What You Need
Experience in designing optical, electro-optical or laser systems.
Requirements capture, V&V, lifecycle engineering and systems design.
Experience with FMEA/FTA, safety, reliability or risk management.
Eligible for SC clearance + full UK driving licence.
