YOUR IMPACT

Are you an experienced engineer keen to move into engineering management or a project manager with an engineering background and a desire to gain a deeper appreciation for large-scale complex engineering delivery? You could be part of one the UK’s most exciting and challenging Aerospace projects.
Leonardo’s European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 is due to be in service with UK RAF Typhoons towards the end of the decade providing world-leading capability with optimised and enhanced traditional Radar functionality. The ECRS Mk2 development team, operating within the SAFe development approach, are looking for a talented person to work with over 90 talented Systems and Software Engineers to deliver long lead-time Systems design activities and the functional roadmap for the Radar Processing Solution.
