THE PERSON

MTD is looking for an enthusiastic individual striving for self-improvement, expansion of understanding and a strong desire to work on cutting-edge concepts and new products.
A base understanding of, or willingness to learn, the core principles of the technologies comprising MTD products is essential. MTD team members take pride in their problem-solving ability, understanding why something is happening, and are keen to expand this further.
We are looking for experienced professionals who can seamlessly integrate into a growing team. The ability to work with other, like-minded, professionals is essential but there will be instances where the successful candidate will need to work on smaller projects alone.
MTD prides itself on team spirit and the ability to communicate effectively will be essential. This includes both verbal and written skills, participating in regular virtual meetings to and face-to-face discussions.
A high level of professionalism is expected and the successful candidate will need to participate in team and company activities both inside and outside of the department, many of which will be customer-facing.
MTD are embarking on several exciting projects that require our talent to expand and we are looking for like-minded individuals to become part of our dynamic team.
If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
Due to the nature of elements of the role, the successful applicant must be a UK National and may be required to successfully complete National Security Vetting which may require criminal record, security service and credit reference checks; qualification will also normally require a minimum UK residency of at least 5 years.

THE ROLE

Mission Training Devices is looking for talented Systems Engineers to join its expanding talent in preparation for exciting upcoming opportunities.
The role will primarily involve integrating software and hardware to construct MTD products. Additionally, there will be a significant element of maintenance activity for MTD products, both internal equipment and customer products.
As well as conducting initial product integration of both software and hardware, Systems Engineers are also expected to maintain and service MTD products.
The role will be homeworking but, due to the nature of Systems Engineering, significant time will be spent at the MTD office at MoD Boscombe Down working hands-on with equipment. Therefore, proximity to the office is desirable. The working pattern (home or MTD office) is flexible depending on operational pressures.
Travel to customer sites and trade shows in the UK and abroad will be required from time to time.
