The role:

• Own the technical direction of a new actuator development programme, from concept through to delivery, working alongside a dedicated project manager who leads on delivery and schedule
• Act as the main technical point of contact for customers, including presenting project progress where required
• Help build out a new engineering team as the business line grows

What they are looking for:

• Solid systems engineering experience within AOCS or GNC, ideally including full development-cycle experience on actuator hardware such as reaction wheels, CMGs or similar

• Roughly 3+ years’ relevant experience upwards – seniority is flexible and will be matched to the strength of your actuator/AOCS background rather than years alone
• Comfortable operating with a good degree of autonomy on a brand-new programme, and confident building relationships directly with customers
