The opportunity:

The Security Engineering Department provides all project teams across the business with skilled resources, Technical Experts and other specialist capabilities to manage the Security Engineering process throughout the Product Life Cycle phases to ensure our products are robust to tampering and resistant to reverse engineering attempts by an Adversary. The Product Security Solution comprises both Technical Protection features embedded at all levels of the design and a robust set of processes and procedures, which form an essential part of our Customer’s ability to maintain an Operational Advantage and Freedom of Action.

Product Security Engineers are primarily Systems Engineers with a specialist focus on Security Design. Therefore, experience in working in the Security Engineering Domain, whilst beneficial is not essential. A successful candidate need only be a skilled Systems Engineer with an eye for detail and a willingness to learn. Some prior experience with electronics or software design is useful, but again not essential. Specifically, the role will involve:

  • Task package management of activities utilising multi-disciplinary engineers spanning across the Engineering Directorate to design and deliver a comprehensive technical security solution within the budget and timescale set out for the task.
  • Managing the trade-space to maximise the effectiveness of through life protective measures without compromising product safety or Customer winning capability.
  • Preparing and maintaining a robust security case and working directly with the UK Customer and its technical advisors to agree sufficiency of solutions.
  • Undertaking a wide range of systems design and technical leadership tasks, ensuring a coherent design is maintained across the contributing engineering departments (hardware, firmware, software) that can be integrated, tested and qualified to demonstrate the effectiveness of the security solution.
  • Liaising with manufacturing and support teams to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the missile/weapon system is maintained through manufacture and in the various through life support scenarios that may be offered to a Customer.
  • Ensuring the Need to Know principal is adhered to and sufficient controls are in place to manage the knowledge of the technical implementation, providing direction on the release of information to Suppliers and Customers, where required.

Product Security Engineers are required to look at the design at multiple levels: from the Missile as a whole with its multitude of complex interfaces within a wider Weapon System, to the individual electronic components at a printed circuit card level. Such a breadth of influence over and interaction with the design affords the Product Security Engineer a rich and challenging working environment unparalleled elsewhere in the Systems Design Function. You will gain an intimate knowledge of the product functionality and interact with stakeholders across the business from the highly technical to the more commercial. A role in the Security Engineering Department is therefore dynamic and diverse in its activities and provides a real opportunity to be part of a technically complex and essential part of the product capability.

What we’re looking for from you:

  • Able to listen to, evaluate and resolve technical issues in a manner that upholds MBDAs reputation with our Customer.
  • Strong engineering skills where a background in Systems Engineering is essential and experience in electronics design and/or embedded software or firmware design is desirable.
  • Knowledge of Product or Systems Security is desirable.
  • DV cleared or willing and eligible to go through the DV clearance process.

Our company: Peace is not a given, Freedom is not a given, Sovereignty is not a given

MBDA is a leading defence organisation. We are proud of the role we play in supporting the Armed Forces who protect our nations. We partner with governments to work together towards a common goal, defending our freedom.

Lead Navigation & PNT Systems Engineer (SC Cleared)
Bristol - 3 days a week onsite
Negotiable + Comprehensive Benefits Package

This is an excellent opportunity for a subject matter expert in Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) to join a high-impact team at its inception. Whether you are a specialist in Kalman filtering, GNSS resilience, or novel RF positioning, this role offers the chance to redefine how Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) navigate within the most contested and complex environments.
This company is building a dedicated Navigation & PNT capability group focused on the development of resilient, high-integrity technologies. As a foundational hire, you will be at the forefront of navigation capability, ensuring that our autonomous platforms remain operational even when traditional systems fail.

In this varied role, you will take ownership of the PNT architecture, moving from high-level design to hands-on implementation. You will design and simulate advanced algorithms tailored for UAS flight profiles, evaluate system performance in GNSS-denied environments through flight test analysis, and support the integration of software with high-grade IMUs and flight control hardware.

The ideal candidate will possess a deep technical background in aerospace or robotics. You should be comfortable performing complex error-budget analysis and have a passion for solving the “GNSS-denied” challenge using non-traditional methods like Vision-Based Navigation (VBN) or Terrain Referenced Navigation (TRN).

This is a fantastic opportunity to act as a technical authority within the program and work in a collaborative, cross-functional environment, alongside Flight Control and Mission Systems engineers to deliver a cohesive, world-class navigation suite.

The Role:

  • Develop advanced navigation fusion (EKF/UKF) and resilient GNSS algorithms.
  • Define modular “Plug and Play” PNT architectures for UAS platforms.
  • Conduct GNSS-denied simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
  • Provide technical authority and roadmap guidance for PNT capabilities.

The Person:

  • Degree-qualified in Aerospace/Robotics with deep sensor fusion expertise.
  • Proven experience in GNSS-denied navigation (UAS, Missiles, or Robotics).
  • Highly proficient in modelling, simulation, and complex error-budget analysis.
  • Must be eligible for UK SC Clearance.

Communications Systems Engineer (SC Cleared)
Bristol - 3 days a week onsite
Negotiable + Comprehensive Benefits Package

This is an excellent opportunity for a systems-focused Communications Engineer to take ownership of the vital data links that keep Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) connected. Whether your background is in SDRs, Satcom, or Tactical Data Links, this role offers the chance to design end-to-end architectures that ensure seamless command and control (C2) in the most contested environments.

This company is at the forefront of UAS innovation, developing platforms that must remain reachable across diverse and complex mission profiles. You will act as the bridge between high-level mission requirements and hardware implementation, selecting the right mix of RF and Military Bearers to ensure mission success and high-bandwidth telemetry.

In this varied role, you will move from defining link budgets and sizing hardware (transceivers, antennas, modems) to leading the integration of LOS and BLOS systems. You will oversee the implementation of secure military waveforms and encryption, optimise networking stacks for low-latency aerial links, and lead “on-platform” interference testing to validate link performance.

The ideal candidate will possess a background in flight safety and mission data quality, and should be a hands-on problem solver, comfortable troubleshooting RF interference or network dropouts in real-world environments while collaborating closely with Avionics and Airframe engineers.

This is a fantastic opportunity to drive the communications roadmap for a next-generation UAS program. From bench-top HIL testing to ground range trials and flight campaigns, you will have the autonomy to define how our aircraft stay connected, ensuring they are never out of reach.

The Role:

  • Define RF/Satcom hardware sizing and end-to-end link budgets.
  • Lead LOS/BLOS system integration and secure protocol optimisation.
  • Oversee military-grade waveforms and cryptographic equipment compliance.
  • Execute HIL, EMI/EMC, and flight test campaigns for connectivity.

The Person:

  • Previous experience in RF, antenna theory, and modulation schemes.
  • Hands-on experience with SDRs, Satcom, and tactical data links.
  • Preferably a degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Telecommunications Engineering.
  • Must be eligible for UK SC Clearance.
