Systems Design Airborne Systems - Graduate Programme 2025

You will be placed across an array of different SDAS teams, gaining a good technical understanding of the different products MBDA manufactures.

You may choose to undertake one six-month placement in another part of the company or potentially in one of MBDA’s international offices. Alternatively, the placement could be external to MBDA with another defence supplier or with MoD.

This role is suited to those that enjoy the creativity and practicality of working with problems to arrive at logical solutions. Our teams will support you to become a fully integrated member with the opportunity to assume an increasing level of responsibility. We offer varied roles with scope to choose placements based on interests and skills. Our people are adaptable and the role is varied and fast paced. We offer training and experience to learn systems engineering methods and tools, such as Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), in addition to training given as part of the Early Careers Programme.

Systems Engineers work with people across all engineering fields and business teams, meeting suppliers and customers and engaging with international MBDA colleagues. There is also opportunity to travel both within the UK and potentially internationally.

We also offer a wide support network of experienced engineers with support to work towards Chartership if desired (100% of fees paid during Early Careers Program).
