Senior System Engineer

This role is for systems engineers who want to work where design, build, integration and flight all happen side by side.

You'll join a growing UAV manufacturer developing complex uncrewed aircraft platforms in a highly dynamic, fast-evolving sector. Unlike traditional OEM environments, this is a place where systems engineers stay close to the hardware and close to the outcome.

Your focus will sit firmly on the right-hand side of the V: integration, testing, trials and subsystem development. The work is practical, collaborative and fast-paced, with frequent iteration and real-world feedback.

What makes this role different

• End-to-end product visibility - design * build * fly
• Real integration and test ownership
• Fast iteration, rapid prototyping, minimal bureaucracy
• Exposure across multiple subsystems and platforms
• A growing business where systems engineers influence outcomes

• Systems engineering experience focused on test & integration
• Electrical and/or mechanical systems background
• Comfort working hands-on with hardware
• Previous design experience welcome (but not essential)
• Ability to operate in a fast-changing environment

• Salary up to £60,000
• Bonus up to 15%
• Pension matched up to 6%
• Private medical & dental
• Flexible working hours
• Half-day Fridays

If you want to work at the forefront of UAV development, with real system ownership and visibility from concept to flight, this is a systems engineering role worth exploring.
