Requirements

  • Working towards a Degree in an Engineering, Software, Physics or Maths discipline
  • A practical knowledge of software development would be helpful, but not essential

Responsibilities

  • - Join the Electronic Engineering department for a chance to play a fundamental role in bringing together MBDA's missile systems: designing and integrating the electronics that drive our Weapon Control Units, Actuators, Telemetry & Communication Systems and more.
  • - Over the course of your 3 month placement you will work with a small team of undergraduate summer placement students to plan, manage, design and deliver a missile related project.
  • - You will be supported by experienced engineers from multiple engineering fields (Mechanical, Test Systems, Software, etc.).
  • - You will also have dedicated mentors to help you both technically and professionally.
  • - The projects provide you with the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge in one or a number of the following electronics design related skills: Detailed Circuit Design, Analogue and Digital Circuit Test Techniques, Analysis and Characterisation Techniques, Manufacturing (Machining, PCB Manufacture, Circuit Card Assembly), Test & Evaluation of Design.
  • - You will be spending time in the lab, building experimental hardware and in some cases may be writing some software and firmware.
  • - You will gain exposure to the schematic design tool we use (Zuken) and will continue to develop your time management and project planning skills.
  • - Depending on which project you become involved in, you may also use modelling & simulation tools such as Matlab and Simulink.
  • - You may travel occasionally to visit other MBDA sites, although most of your work will be conducted on site in Stevenage.
  • - You will experience working independently, working in focused electronics teams, and working in dynamic multi-disciplinary teams, where you may be exposed to mechanical, software and servomechanism design, and you will have to work closely and directly integrate with them.
