Electronics Engineer
At Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), we're here to provide for the Army, the Royal Navy, and the Royal Air Force, as they serve our country all over the world. We support those on the front line by providing smarter tech. Vehicles that go further, and faster. Newer, more effective equipment for land, sea, and air. We deliver the kit the UK military needs to maintain advantage and stay protected, as they protect life at home and overseas.
Our people push for best-in-class every day - because it helps keep our nation safe. So whatever your background, whatever your skillset, if you're driven to set new standards, find your place at DE&S. Ready to see where your ambition will lead you?
Engineering is the largest business function in our organisation - and it's one of the most fulfilling too. Because it's only by delivering the most advanced, battle-winning technology that we can keep those on the front line at the top of their game. That's why we stay inventive and create positive change, with a strong focus on sustainable sourcing and minimising environmental impact too. Ready to make an impact that matters to the nation?
Join our Ships division as an Electronics Engineer and take on a meaningful role directly supporting the UK's Royal Navy.
As one of our Electronics Engineers, you will join either our Maritime Combat Systems (MCS), Ships Acquisition or Naval Ship Support (NSS) team, providing a vital service in delivering reliable, sustainable and affordable combat systems support. You'll have the chance to work across a variety of projects, supporting the UK naval fleet and military customers.
The Maritime Combat Systems (MCS) team is brought together by Engineers operating in the following technical areas: Surface Ship Combat Systems Group; Underwater and Electronic Warfare; Communications Situational Awareness and Maritime Electronic Warfare and training. Meanwhile, the Naval Ship Support (NSS) team provides engineering support to ensure Royal Navy ships are maintained and ready to fight. Our Ship Acquisition team lead the procurement of all of the Royal Navy's newest and most complex warships from the earliest stages of design.
Please note that some attendance to site will be required, and for security reasons some positions will be available to sole UK nationals only.
We strongly recommend tailoring your CV in line with our CV Guidance before applying, with specific sections to highlight Key Achievements, Relevant Experience, and Applied Skills & Knowledge.
