Your impact
Help shape the reliability of next‑generation radar systems at Leonardo.
Job Description
This is not a traditional design role — it’s an opportunity to influence how advanced electronic systems are designed, maintained and sustained throughout their life. Working on cutting‑edge radar programmes in Edinburgh, you’ll help ensure our systems are robust, supportable and mission‑ready from concept through to in‑service support and beyond.
What you will do as a Supportability Engineer (Electronics)
- Partner with multidisciplinary project teams to shape supportable next‑generation radar systems
- Perform reliability modelling and electronic failure analysis at equipment and component level
- Influence hardware design through RAMT assessments, maintainability studies and supportability trade‑offs
- Develop and maintain FMEA/FMECA, fault analysis and reliability predictions
- Contribute to diagnostics, testability strategies and through‑life support solutions
- Help solve real‑world engineering challenges, improving product resilience from concept to disposal
What You’ll Bring
- Background in electronics, hardware or systems engineering
- Ability to interpret schematics, circuit designs and component‑level behaviour
- Experience in reliability, supportability, RAMT, safety, design assurance or related disciplines
- Exposure to FMEA/FMECA, fault analysis or root cause investigations
- Knowledge of defence, aerospace, complex electronics or safety‑critical systems (helpful but not essential)
- Degree in Electronics Engineering, Physics or similar — or equivalent industry experience
Security Clearance
This role is subject to pre‑employment screening in line with the UK Government’s Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS). An additional range of Personnel Security Controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV) may apply, this could include meeting the eligibility requirements for The Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV).
