At Leonardo, we are looking for an experienced Software Engineer who has a desire to bring complex radar signal processing algorithms to life, in software that is deployed to 5th and 6th Generation combat aircraft.

The Raven Radar system is an integral component of the Gripen NG, one of the most advanced multi-role fighters in the world. As a software engineer, you will have a significant role in the development of new Radar signal processing features, from early concept right through to delivering improvements following flight trials.

  • Develop, maintain and optimize Simulink and MATLAB-based signal processing pipelines.
  • Collaborate with systems engineers to design and implement novel algorithms for airborne radar systems.
  • Test, document and support the integration of deployable software onto custom hardware platforms.

What we need from you:

  • Demonstrable industry experience in using Matlab & Simulink.
  • A strong mathematic or scientific background.
  • Experience with the full Software Development Lifecycle.

Demonstrable experience in the following areas will help you stand out:

  • Industry experience or academic knowledge of signal processing techniques.
  • Developing, optimizing and testing high-performance software solutions using C++ and C.
  • Working and delivering software using agile techniques such as Scrum, and tooling such as Jira / Confluence / Bitbucket / Gitlab.
  • Experience with cross-compiling and developing software for embedded systems.

Security Clearance:
