Job description

Hardware Development Engineer (Electronics) – Salisbury (Onsite) – £50,000

Join a growing engineering team designing the systems behind next-generation Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles. These aircraft are currently used for mapping deforestation and serving classified defence projects that push the edge of innovation.

Why Join?

• See your work in flight: Your designs will be deployed in actual aircraft, not just in development cycles.
• Hands-on innovation: Engage in soldering, prototyping, and problem solving as part of your daily tasks.
• A business on the rise: With significant investment and expanding civil and military UAV projects, now is the perfect time to join.
• Room to grow: Benefit from training, mentoring, and exposure to various aircraft projects, broadening your skills beyond electronics.
• Solid benefits: Including private healthcare, enhanced parental leave, flexible hours, and a pension plan matching up to 6%.

You are an electronics engineer eager to see your designs in flight. You are confident in your skills, calm under pressure, and collaborative, working closely with mechanical, software, and systems teams.

This role involves designing core electronics that power real aircraft, including digital electronics, schematics, layouts of flight-critical PCBs, and debugging power systems.

The aircraft vary in size from several meters in wingspan to palm-sized, offering a broad range of electronic challenges.
