The Complex Warheads Centre of Excellence is a coordinated team situated across sites in Bolton and are the company's design authority for Warheads.
The team support Warhead development throughout the product lifecycle; starting with concept design, design definitions, assessment, technical specification, test equipment and maturity of concepts, through into manufacture. They also:
Predict the lethal performance of various types of missile systems through modelling of missile terminal engagement, target detection, Warhead detonation and lethal performance prediction.
Provide expertise in the skill areas of Warheads, energetic materials, target detection and weapon lethality.
Your time within the Warheads team will involve working closely with highly skilled engineers across the whole of the Warhead product lifecycle. You will learn how to produce detailed design definitions, carry out concept assessment using modelling simulations and analyse and assess performance data collected during trials.
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a niche group of engineers with specialised expertise. The skills we utilise are not typical in academia and so joining the team presents an opportunity for you to develop knowledge in numerous aspects of Warhead development that you would not acquire anywhere else.
Joining us will build your knowledge and enable you to apply an understanding of Warhead technologies for various types of missile systems in development and in service.
