Electronics Engineer - Reliability & Supportability

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

• 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.
