Why Leonardo?

The business, primarily based in Luton, has a rich heritage in Electronic Warfare with over 100 years of history and providing the latest advances in radio frequency technology to our military customers in the UK and further afield.

Under a strategic partnering arrangement (SPA) with the Royal Air Force and the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) agencies, Leonardo acts as the UK industry lead chosen to bring together onshore providers to provide value-for-money defensive equipment for the nation’s fleets of military aircraft, while boosting export opportunities and generating prosperity around the UK.

The company leads the consortium responsible for the Praetorian Defensive Aids Sub-System (DASS) currently installed on the Eurofighter Typhoon and the company's BriteCloud expendable active decoy launched in 2013, which represents the most significant advance in radar-guided missile countermeasures since the advent of chaff.

The Future Combat Air line of business is the home of the Leonardo Electronics Division UK key interface into the UK MoD Future Combat Air System (FCAS) Programme, also referred to as Tempest.

Focusing on the development of advanced defence electronics, Leonardo is a founding partner of Team Tempest, alongside the UK MOD, BAE Systems, Rolls Royce and MBDA UK. The team has been working at pace to develop the technologies and capabilities necessary to see a new combat air system go into service in 2035.

Given the nature of the work, we are able to offer custom working; however, some on-site working is expected.

We are relentless about inclusion. We understand an inclusive environment is one that welcomes everyone as they are. We see diversity as a strength. We would like you to be part of our journey to creating that better balance and welcome applications from all individuals from all walks of life as we build a stronger company together.
