My client, a world leader in the defence sector, requires a Low Observability Project Lead to join them in Bristol and lead small to medium scale R&D programmes in the Low Observability domain.

Low Observability Project Lead

The Low Observability Project Lead will join a multidisciplinary team looking to find the next step-change idea or develop existing ideas into a realised capability across the missile design lifecycle.

Day-to-day work encompasses the full spectrum of an R&D programme, defining customer requirements, forming technical proposals for commercial bids, interfacing with partners, co-ordinating multiple areas of the business to ensure programmes are delivered on-time and on cost. This project leadership is then combined with technical work to help progress the programme, which can be anything from concept design to RF laboratory measurements, depending on needs of the programme.

The Low Observability Project Lead will:
  • Lead small to medium scale R&D programmes in the Low Observability domain.
  • Define customer requirements and form technical proposals for commercial bids.
  • Interface with partners and co-ordinate multiple areas of the business to ensure programmes are delivered on-time and on cost.
  • Combine project leadership with technical work to help progress the programme.
  • Deliver technical work packages and projects with successful technical work delivered both individually and as part of a team.
  • Have a top-level appreciation of how Missile Survivability, Low Observability and RCS Design are interlinked.

To be considered, applicants will need to be qualified with a degree in physical sciences, electronics or communications engineering or similar, ideally with a Masters or PhD.

You will have:
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas: project leadership, bidding and commercial process, budget management, project management (e.g. Gantt charts and planning), people management and experience with platform survivability or RF stealth
  • Proven delivery of technical work packages and projects with successful technical work delivered both individually and as part of a team

In addition, the following would be ideal:
  • A commitment to continuing professional development, both personally and in mentoring others.
  • Interest in/holding Chartered Engineer / Scientist and professional membership.
  • Experience in leading or undertaking Systems Engineering studies.

So, if you are an experienced engineer or scientist with a top-level appreciation of how Missile Survivability, Low Observability and RCS Design are interlinked, plus proven delivery of technical work packages and projects, please apply now.
