Overview
Our Algorithm Design Engineers work on fast‑moving projects to develop and evaluate Navigation Algorithms, involved in researching, developing, testing and evaluating algorithms as part of wider systems solutions at MBDA.
The opportunity
The Navigation Algorithm Design Engineer will be part of a dynamic team within the Guidance, Control and Navigation (GCN) department, where you will get the opportunity to work across a range of contract and research activities that impact multiple areas of deliveries within MBDA. Navigation algorithms are central to the design and development of MBDA’s complex guided weapon systems products. This role will help you understand how GCN supports our weapon system products and gain insight into a number of related disciplines with whom we have a high level of interactions.
