// Role Specification
At Leonardo, we are seeking an Electronics Engineer with a strong focus on reliability, supportability, and complex engineering challenges. This is a unique opportunity to impact the design, maintenance, and sustainment of advanced electronic systems throughout their entire lifecycle, rather than a traditional design role.
You will be working on cutting-edge radar programmes in Edinburgh, contributing to the robustness, supportability, and mission-readiness of our systems from their inception through in-service support and beyond.
What you will do as a Supportability Engineer (Electronics):
- Partner with multidisciplinary project teams to shape supportable next-generation radar systems.
- Perform reliability modelling and electronic failure analysis at equipment and component level.
- Influence hardware design through RAMT assessments, maintainability studies, and supportability trade-offs.
- Develop and maintain FMEA/FMECA, fault analysis, and reliability predictions.
- Contribute to diagnostics, testability strategies, and through-life support solutions.
- Help solve real-world engineering challenges, improving product resilience from concept to disposal.
What you'll bring:
- Background in electronics, hardware, or systems engineering.
- Ability to interpret schematics, circuit designs, and component-level behaviour.
- Experience in reliability, supportability, RAMT, safety, design assurance, or related disciplines.
- Exposure to FMEA/FMECA, fault analysis, or root cause investigations.
- Knowledge of defence, aerospace, complex electronics, or safety-critical systems is helpful but not essential.
- A degree in Electronics Engineering, Physics, or a similar field, or equivalent industry experience.
A good attitude and willingness to learn are the most important skills.
