Design Engineers

At BAE Systems – Military Air Solutions, we’re responsible for producing some of the most advanced military aircraft the world has ever seen. Like the F-35 Lightening II – the first (and currently only) stealthy supersonic, multi-role fighter plane. And the Herti family of Unmanned Air Vehicles, which can soar thousands of feet in the air and take thermal images of the terrain below – all without a pilot on board.
As a group, we have a hand in every stage of an aircraft’s development. This starts with an initial brief and carries on through a variety of design, build and test stages, before we deliver the final product. That level of involvement means we can boast a wide range of capabilities, including systems integration, manufacturing, and repair and upgrade. We’ve even produced a number of military training programmes. Our customer base spans more than 30 countries worldwide. And we currently employ around 10,500 people.
You’ll be qualified to at least HNC level in an appropriate subject and have practical design engineering experience ideally gained within the aerospace sector or its associated industries, with a working proficiency in CATIA preferred.

Additionally, knowledge of current aerospace manufacturing processes and assembly techniques would be advantageous. Higher levels of experience and capability will be necessary to undertake the more senior roles.
• structural design (successful experience of composite design an advantage);
• fluid systems design;
• electrical systems design – circuit design or electrical systems routing & installation

You should be experienced in and comfortable with working alongside engineers of other disciplines and people from other functions within an integrated product team. You’ll also be competent in gathering and understanding customer requirements and so will have good interpersonal and communication (verbal and written) skills, be confident in representing your proposed design solutions to meet the customer’s specifications and be able to influence people and situations to ensure the technical integrity of the product is not compromised.

Consideration will also be given to candidates possessing suitable transferable skills & experience providing they comply with the stated technical qualification.
