Restrictions and/or limitations relating to nationality and/or rights to work may apply. All successful candidates will need to undergo HMG Basic Personnel Security Standard checks (BPSS), managed by the MBDA Personnel Security Team.

The opportunity:

The Senior Algorithm Engineers develop detailed guidance & control and higher architectural levels, demonstrating capability for rigorous system analysis and management of complex workloads.

You will influence the design and testing of sophisticated product systems, including algorithms, real-time architecture, RF & IR seekers, inertial sensors, actuators, propulsion systems (turbojets, ramjets, thrust-vectored rockets), and interfaces to launch platforms.

You will collaborate across departments and national boundaries, involved in multiple programmes from early research through to full-scale development and guided flight trials.

What we're looking for:

• Theoretical knowledge and extensive experience in aerospace guidance, control, navigation, algorithm design, real-time architecture, and verification.
• Ability to define engineering problems clearly and express design challenges as unambiguous requirements.
• Managing complexity by identifying major drivers in interconnected systems.
• Skills to verify complex systems and models against underlying theory.
• Clear communication of complex ideas.
• Experience diagnosing abnormalities via physical means and computer modelling (MATLAB & Simulink).
• Ability to influence technically when other factors impact teams.
• Interest in control applications, especially flight control, though not essential.
