Graduate Electromagnetic Warfare Engineer

Graduate Electromagnetic Warfare Engineer - Lincoln or St Neots

Help shape the future of Electronic Warfare

Join one of the UK's leading specialist Electronic Warfare teams and start your career developing technology that helps protect the people protecting us.

Every radar, radio, drone, GPS signal and wireless communication relies on the electromagnetic spectrum. Electronic Warfare helps ensure friendly forces can use it while denying adversaries the same advantage.

Why MASS?

At MASS, you'll work alongside more than 80 engineers, scientists and former military personnel developing world-leading Electronic Warfare software, products and specialist services.

Working in purpose-built facilities designed to develop, test and evaluate advanced defence capabilities, you'll contribute to meaningful projects from day one while learning from experts in one of defence's fastest-evolving technical disciplines.

Why this opportunity?

Our Electronic Warfare Operations Support (EWOS) Group is growing, and we're looking for graduates who are curious, analytical and excited by solving complex technical problems.

Over two years you'll work across different specialist teams, helping deliver real defence capability while discovering where your strengths and interests can make the biggest impact.
