This could involve requirements, modelling, analysis and conceptual design, including work associated with Typhoon and the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).

Technical Support:

You could work with electronic‑based systems and associated test equipment, while developing your understanding of how individual products and equipment contribute to the wider support system.

CS3 Engineering Capability Development:
