At Leonardo, our Electronic Warfare self‑protection systems are deployed across fast jet, UAV, land and naval platforms — operating in some of the most demanding RF environments in the world. As a Senior or Principal Microwave Engineer, you’ll help design and deliver the microwave subsystems that enable these platforms to detect, respond and survive. Based primarily at our Luton and Bristol sites, this role offers hybrid working, with on‑site time flexing to meet programme and test requirements. What you will do as a Senior / Principal Microwave Engineer working on EW programmes: Design and develop microwave and RF circuits operating to and beyond 20 GHz, supporting advanced EW self‑protection systems. Contribute to the development of complex RF subsystems, from early concept and requirements derivation through detailed design, integration and test. Perform microwave simulation, modelling and optimisation using industry‑standard EM and circuit tools. Translate system‑level and RF requirements into robust, manufacturable microwave designs. Support hands‑on RF test, measurement and debug using world‑class laboratory facilities. Solve technically challenging problems across the RF chain, balancing performance, power, reliability and manufacturability. Engage in design reviews and technical discussions with internal stakeholders, partners and customers. For Principal‑level engineers: Provide technical leadership and mentoring to early‑career and developing engineers Influence design approaches, tools and best practice across microwave teams Where required, support technical reviews across Leonardo UK sites or customer locations (UK and occasional overseas travel). What you’ll bring This role is aimed at engineers with deep microwave or RF expertise who are comfortable operating with a high degree of technical autonomy.
