Job Description:

Are you a Systems Engineer looking for Part Time Work?? Then look no Further! Leonardo recognise that Work Life Balance is extremely important and full time roles do not suit everyone's routine. Therefore we are actively looking for Systems Engineers of all experience levels to join us on Part time contracts, which can be tailored to suit your specific needs. These roles are available across our sites in Southampton, Basildon and Bristol (in some areas we can be flexible with locations and offer hybrid working).

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to utilise and develop your current skills within an industry leading technology company. Working on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products… Not to mention, we offer an award winning package.

About the Role

Our Systems Engineers span across range of activities that help pull together all the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system. As a Systems Engineer, you will bridge the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.

We are recruiting for a number of roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based upon your skills and foundation knowledge, we will assess where your knowledge and skills would best fit and discuss the options with you.

Typical work you might be involved in:

Contribute to an early concept study investigating the application of new technology on future platforms Engage with stakeholders to define requirements for a new system Design and integrate new functionality into an existing sub-system in Simulink Collaborate with other engineers to design and prototype a detailed model of a system to understand observed simulated performance Design and prototype algorithms in Matlab, taking into account limitations and constraints of the target hardware Investigate the cause of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities, using real trials data

Projects and area’s we work in range for applications within Naval, Land and Air. Technology incudes;

Comms and Force Protection Communications and training systems Communications and messaging systems Future Cruise Air System - Tempest Special Projects Mission Systems Electronic Warfare and Vetronics Mission Systems – Counter Unmanned Air Systems Sensors Precision Guidance working on Seeker and tracking algorithms EO/IR systems

Dependent on experience, you may lead technical activities and initiatives, or you may mentor and coach other engineers.

About You

Proven experience as a Systems Engineer within a working environment or advanced academic research experience is preferable.

We are not expecting you to have deep theoretical knowledge of engineering, what we are looking for are systems engineers with applied engineering experience that we can build upon through training, team working and mentoring.

We are particularly interested in speaking to you if you have experience in any of the following areas;

Systems Generalists Problem definition Systems Architecture Synthetic Environments Performance Modelling Verification and Validation System Of Systems

Domain specialisms we are very interested in include:

Digital signal processing RF systems Electro-optic systems Medical imaging systems, image processing, image / object classification / identification Computer vision image processing (e.g. segmentation, clustering) Multi-sensor data fusion and tracking Real time data simulation/generation

All successful applicants must be eligible for full security clearance and access to UK-caveated and ITAR controlled information. For more information and guidance, please visit:

Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes. As a mid‑senior professional in this field, you’re not only crafting sophisticated algorithms; you’re often guiding strategic decisions about data pipelines, model deployment, and product direction. With such a powerful impact on business results, companies across the UK are going beyond standard salary structures to attract top ML talent. Negotiating a compensation package that truly reflects your value means looking beyond the numbers on your monthly payslip. In addition to a competitive base salary, you could be securing equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks that support your ongoing research, development, and growth. However, many mid‑senior ML professionals leave these additional benefits on the table—either because they’re unsure how to negotiate them or they simply underestimate their long-term worth. This guide explores every critical aspect of negotiating a machine learning job offer. Whether you’re joining an AI-focused start-up or a major tech player expanding its ML capabilities, understanding equity structures, bonus schemes, and strategic perks will help you lock in a package that matches your technical expertise and strategic influence.
