Working at MBDA

What you'll do matters. Because defence matters.

We work with purpose, knowing that every advancement provides better, smarter and more effective defence capabilities to the UK and their allies. Regarded as one of the most trusted suppliers of defence solutions in Europe, we have a relationship with the UK military spanning back over 70 years.

Whether it’s designing a future concept for the British Army, managing the procurement of a missile component or harnessing their expertise in software in order to integrate one of our products on to the newest fighter jet, all of our employees are a part of delivering a more secure tomorrow.

In addition to featuring in The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2024, and Glassdoor's Best Places to Work lists, MBDA are also recognised nationally with three Investors in People Awards (People, Apprenticeships, and Wellbeing) at Gold and Platinum levels.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds (no defence experience neccessary) and are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment practices. 

As a leading company in the defence industry we support our nations by delivering essential military capabilities, both for today and the future.

We make a meaningful contribution to our sovereignty, security and stability. We‘re doing this together: As individuals, as a team, as a directorate, as a national company and as an European group. 

Our people are passionate and committed to delivering world-leading defence technologies. From our highly skilled engineers, developers, designers and researchers, to all the people across the business that keep us on track to deliver against demanding targets in a rapidly evolving environment. 

We are proud of the inclusive and increasingly diverse workplace we have built together, where everyone is welcomed and listened to.
