DIVISION OVERVIEW: CAPABILITIES

At BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, we pride ourselves in being a leader in the cyber defence industry, and Capabilities is the engine that keeps the business moving forward. It is the largest area of Digital Intelligence, containing our Engineering, Consulting and Project Management teams that design and implement the defence solutions and digital transformation projects that make us a globally recognised brand in both the public and private sector.
As a member of the Capabilities team, you will be creating and managing the solutions that earn us our place in an ever changing digital world. We all have a role to play in defending our clients, and this is yours.

Our Electronic Engineers design and develop analogue and digital electronics, VHDL and embedded/low level software for a wide range of electronic systems. We expect you to take responsibility and tackle a number of different development tasks in different disciplines. Working under guidance from our expert engineers you could implement complex signal processing algorithms in VHDL, debug the RF chain on a software radio, and develop embedded software to run on low power microcontrollers or develop ruggedised devices for challenging environments.

As an Electronic Engineer, day to day tasks could include:

• Contributing to the full engineering lifecycle, from working with clients through to every aspect of hardware design and manufacture
• Implementing complex signal processing algorithms in VHDL
• Designing switch mode power supplies, working on low power embedded systems, developing ruggedized devices for challenging environments
• Assisting colleagues to pitch new ideas to clients
• Managing multiple assignments independently, with support from colleagues
• Carrying out research, data collection and analysis
