The opportunity:

An opportunity has arisen for a Functional Integration Lead within the Integration and Missile Validation function. Reporting directly to the Chief Systems Proving Engineer (CSPE), you will be responsible for owning and leading the day-to-day delivery of functional integration and system verification activities through this next phase, including all Compat and Software Integration activities.

In the immediate term, the role will focus upon sub system integration, introducing updates to the system following on from the initial demonstration programme, as well as introducing new sub-systems and updates, for example the telemetry solution, into the OWEs ahead of flight trials.

As the programme develops, the role will evolve to become focused on the strategy of the integration of the spiral development options and investigating the introduction of HWIL to the functional integration activities.

You will be a key senior member of the programme, leading the integration and functional proving activities as well as having the opportunity to support all ISV activities across the programme including ground and flight trials.

You will interface with different project customers and stakeholders and will be required to have a hands-on and practical approach in the planning and conduct of proving activities. You will therefore need a deep knowledge of system and subsystem functionality and behaviours, alongside a proactive, dynamic and diligent work ethic.

Key Responsibilities of the role are:

• Plan and deliver integration and verification/proving activities to meet programme milestones and support certification/clearance for trials and operations.
• Translate system/subsystem requirements into comprehensive integration/proving strategies
• Lead integration campaigns ensuring adherence to procedures and safety requirements
• Provide programme governance for integration and verification - approve test plans, major risk mitigations, and final readiness for trials/certification
• Own resource planning, competence development and recruitment for the Functional Integration team, aligning capability to programme demand
• Liaise with suppliers and test facilities, present integration progress, test results and issues confidently and clearly to customers and programme leaders.

What we're looking for from you:

Due to the stage of the programme, we are looking for an individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is agile and adaptable, and is ready to take on this challenge. The role would suit someone who is:

• A competent engineer who can deliver an appropriate balance of technical delivery and strategic programme management.
• Decisive, adaptable and calm under pressure
• Comfortable with uncertainty with a willingness to take calculated risks
• Able to make decisions, sometimes without complete information
• A proactive problem solver who can anticipate challenges, take initiatives to address these, and can adapt solutions as new information appears
• Passionate and enjoys complex challenges
• An innovative, creative and practical thinker who can shape how proving is done in the future
• An effective communicator, able to communicate decisions, priorities and expectations efficiently and clearly.

We are also looking for the following experience and skills:

• Experience in test/integration activities is preferable
• Good understanding of hardware/software integration and test activities
• Understanding of the PX4 software architecture.
• Familiarity using general commercial Lab test equipment.
• Familiarity using data analysis tools/methods.
• An appreciation of electronics technologies and the sorts of products that MBDA design and produces would be an advantage.
