You’ll receive a salary of £26,228, with coaching and support from a dedicated team to help you achieve both your placement objectives and personal development goals.

Successful completion of an Industrial Placement with Leonardo may also lead to an offer on our Graduate Development Programme.

The placement will run from 28.06.2027 to 30.06.2028. We encourage you to spend at least three days each week on site to integrate with your team and maximise your learning experience.

During the programme, you will

  • Develop the skills required to create test solutions, across a varied product portfolio.
  • Explore stages of the development lifecycle, such as requirements definition through to implementation, integration test and delivery.
  • Build practical experience by working on real development and production test solutions delivered to internal and external customers.

As an Industrial Placement Test Systems Engineer, you will

  • Gain experience across the full design lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, integration, qualification and certification.
  • Contribute to the design of test systems covering technologies such as RF, microwave, antenna, high-speed digital, laser and optical engineering.
  • Develop an understanding of complex products through close collaboration with engineers across Electronics, Systems, Software, Mechanical and Supportability disciplines.
  • Have opportunities to engage with suppliers, customers and end users.

  • Adaptable and resilient
  • Organised with attention to detail
  • Positive and professional approach to work

Security Clearance

Many of our roles are subject to security and export control restrictions set by UK Government Security requirements and customer obligations. As a result, and in line with the UK Government Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) requirements, all successful applicants will be asked to provide evidence of identity, eligibility to work in the UK, criminal record declaration information and employment and/or education history verification for the previous five years.

For staff operating in more sensitive posts, there is an additional range of personnel security controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV). As part of this process, a range of factors may be considered, including an individual's background, travel history, nationality, previous nationalities held and other information relevant to the vetting assessment.

To be eligible for National Security Vetting at SC level, applicants will generally be expected to have continuously resided in the UK for the previous five years. For DV clearance, this is typically ten years. In some circumstances, time spent overseas may be accepted, with additional overseas checks. Additional vetting requirements may apply upon appointment.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
