Through the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme (WCSP), Lockheed Martin UK has developed a new digitised turret and added modifications to the legacy hull to prepare the Warrior IFV for the complex, multi-threat close-combat environment of the 21st-century.
Enhancements range from a stabilised CT40 cannon to next-generation armour and digital situational awareness cameras.
Yet, the programme’s impact will be far more comprehensive, underpinning the UK’s sovereign turret-design capability, creating thousands of new jobs and adding millions of pounds to the national economy.

Job Details
We currently have a fantastic new opening within our Engineering Leadership team for a Test Architect to join a dynamic and exciting team, developing systems solutions for a variety of military and civil customers.
You will need a broad knowledge of orchestrating systems solutions in a military environment, someone who thinks of all the possibilities and can be ten steps ahead – considering customer requirements and developing them into system test solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule and cost costraints.
Ideally you will have experience of implementing Test Frameworks and Automation tools, model based engineering and be ISTB qualified. You will also need experience of qualifying software to Safety Integrity levels (SIL2, DO-168) and defining and monitoring sub-contract test activities; but this role requires more than technical ability.
