Electronics Engineer - Reliability & Supportability

Job Description:

Apply your electronics expertise to influence the design and performance of next-generation radar systems

At Leonardo, we’re looking for an Electronics Engineer with a passion for reliability, supportability and solving complex engineering challenges.

This is not a traditional design role — it’s an opportunity to influence how advanced electronic systems are designed, maintained and sustained throughout their life.

Working on cutting-edge radar programmes in Edinburgh, you’ll help ensure our systems are robust, supportable and mission-ready from concept through to in-service support and beyond.

What you will do as a Supportability Engineer (Electronics)
Work alongside electronics, systems and software engineers to influence the design of advanced radar products

Analyse electronic circuits, assemblies and subsystems to understand failure mechanisms and improve product resilience

Conduct reliability, maintainability and supportability assessments throughout the engineering lifecycle

Develop FMEA/FMECA and failure analysis activities at component, board and equipment level

Support diagnostics, fault-finding and testability strategies for complex electronic systems

Use RAMT techniques to help shape engineering decisions and optimise through-life support solutions

Contribute to root cause investigations and continuous improvement activities across development and in-service products

What you’ll bring

We’d love to hear from you if you have experience in some of the following:

Electronics engineering, hardware design, electronic test, systems engineering or product support engineering

Understanding of electronic components, circuit design principles and schematic interpretation

Failure investigation, root cause analysis or reliability engineering within electronic products

Reliability, maintainability, supportability, RAMT or design assurance activities

Working with complex, high-integrity or safety-critical systems

Degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related discipline

We welcome applications from electronics engineers looking to move into reliability and supportability engineering. If you have a strong understanding of electronic systems and enjoy analytical problem-solving, we'll provide support to develop your RAMT and supportability expertise.

This is not an exhaustive list, and we are keen to hear from you even if you might not have experience in all the above. The most important skill is a good attitude and willingness to learn.
