Job description

Help Us Engineer What’s Next

If you’re excited about Greenjets but can’t see a suitable live vacancy, use this advert to register your interest. Please don't duplicate any existing / recent applications.

Greenjets is entering a defining phase of growth.

We’re developing and industrialising advanced aerospace and propulsion systems, creating new engineering teams and capabilities as we move products from concept through development, testing and into production.

This is an opportunity to work on real hardware, solve complex technical challenges and influence products while they are still being shaped.

We’re Actively Growing Across

• Hardware Design and Integration
• Systems Engineering
• Mechanical Design
• Aerothermal and Stress Analysis
• Avionics and Electrical Systems
• Development, Test and Validation
• Engineering and Technical Leadership

Depending On Your Experience, You Could Work On

• Turbojet engines
• Electric ducted fans
• Airframes and structures
• Flight controllers, speed controllers, sensors and communications
• Transmissions and rotating equipment
• Pneumatic, hydraulic and fuel systems
• Complete unmanned aircraft systems

What You’ll Do

Depending On Your Discipline, You Could Be

• Developing systems from concept through design, integration and test.
• Designing and analysing hardware for demanding aerospace applications.
• Defining requirements, architectures and verification approaches.
• Integrating propulsion, avionics, mechanical and electrical systems.
• Building test capability and validating products through physical testing.
• Investigating failures and solving complex technical problems.
• Supporting the transition from development into scalable production.

What We’re Looking For

• Industry experience in aerospace, defence, automotive, motorsport or another complex engineering sector.
• Relevant expertise in design, systems, integration, analysis or test.
• Strong engineering fundamentals and practical problem-solving skills.
• Experience taking hardware through development and test.
• A hands‑on approach and a bias towards delivery.
• The ability to work effectively across technical disciplines.

Most importantly, you’ll be excited by the opportunity to build new technology rather than simply maintain / improve established products.

Why Greenjets?

You’ll join at the point where ambitious ideas become functioning products and industrial capability.

You’ll work on complete aerospace systems, see the physical results of your decisions and help shape both the technology and the engineering organisation around it.

If you’re looking for a genuine opportunity to design, build, test and deliver advanced aerospace technology, we’d love to hear from you.

The Process

Your profile will be reviewed by a human being.

You’ll have an initial 30 to 45-minute call with a member of the Talent Acquisition team.

If there’s a potential match, you’ll be invited to a dedicated engineering interview day with the relevant Greenjets technical leaders.
