Job Details Electronics Engineer - Undergraduate Placement 2025 R23305

You'll join either our Electronics Engineering or Missile Architecture functions - either route offers second to none opportunities to get involved in truly unique projects and products spanning the engineering design and missile lifecycle.

The Electronics Engineering function plays a fundamental role in bringing together MBDA's missile systems: designing and integrating the electronics that drive our Weapon Control Units, Actuators, Telemetry & Communication Systems and more.

During your placements you'll get the opportunities to work on the design and specification of the overall system, learn including how to undertake and manage design and performance trade-off studies, influence delivery of bespoke subsystem electrical/electronic equipment into the project (e.g. control units, PSUs, data links, actuation systems, telemetry units, etc.) along with the possibility to assist with testing and trials of components and missiles during the development phase.,
