Your impact
We’re seeking Lead Software Engineers to step into pivotal Technical Authority roles across our Electronic Warfare (EW) and Future Combat Air programmes in Luton. This role combines deep technical oversight with influence, offering significant autonomy and responsibility for key software components or entire projects.
As a Software Technical Authority, you will serve as the most authoritative voice on software matters within your team. You'll collaborate directly with Software Project Engineering Leads to define commitments, navigate risks, and ensure delivery in line with Leonardo's internal software process (DEV535) —predominantly DO-178C and related standards.
This opportunity builds the core competencies required for future advancement into Software Design Authority (DA) roles and potentially progression to Chief Engineer level. Structured training, mentorship, and on-the-job experience will support your growth.
