Description
At BAE Systems Military Air Solutions, were responsible for producing some of the most advanced military aircraft the world has ever seen. Like the F-35 Lightning 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 aircrafts 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. Weve even produced a number of military training programmes. Our customer base spans more than 30 countries worldwide. And we currently employ around 10,000 people.
We are committed to recruiting professionals who will excel in an environment where success and excellence are everyday standards.
Flight Systems Engineering covers a wide range of aircraft systems and sub-systems including Mechanical Systems and Flying Controls, Crew Systems (Ejection Seats, Life Support), Electrical and Hydraulic Power Generation and Distribution, Fuel Systems, Environmental Control Systems, Electrical Utilisation Systems, actuators & mechanisms and Utility Systems/Vehicle control and management. It requires engineers with a broad knowledge of mechanical, electrical and systems engineering principles including knowledge of software specification, design and application. A number of roles are available in one of the following air vehicles; - Nimrod MRA4, Typhoon, JSF (F35). The roles will require the application of system engineering expertise to the design, development, integration, qualification, clearance and verification of flight systems. You will normally have a HNC/HND or degree qualification in a technical or scientific subject, however, equivalent professional qualification in terms of formal education or additional relevant knowledge, experience and product expertise can offset the normal qualification requirements. Knowledge of some aspects of airframe engineering, procurement, project/programme management as well as knowledge of several aspects of design engineering, quality, test engineering, safety analysis and airworthiness/Reliability is also desirable, but not essential.
