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

Not every job lets you work on aircraft that actually fly. This one does.

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

Why Join?

You’ll see your work in flight: no endless product development cycles here. Your designs will end up in the air.

Hands-on innovation: this is real engineering. Soldering, prototyping, problem solving — all part of the job.

A business on the rise: with significant investment and a growing platform of civil and military UAV projects, now is the time to get involved.

Room to grow: with training, mentoring, and exposure to projects across the whole aircraft, your development won’t stop at electronics.

Solid benefits: including private healthcare, enhanced parental leave, flexible hours, and a pension matched up to 6%.

You’re an electronics engineer who doesn’t just want to draw schematics — you want to see things fly. You’re confident in your design skills, calm under pressure when things don’t work first time, and collaborative enough to work shoulder-to-shoulder with mechanical, software, and systems teams.

This isn’t one of those gigs where you’re bolted onto the edge of a project. You’ll be right in the centre of it, designing the core electronics that power real aircraft — think digital electronics design, schematics, layouts etc of flight-critical PCBs & debugging power systems.

Some aircraft are Several meters in wingspan. Others fit into the palm of your hand. So it's pretty broad electronics to challange you!

For immediate consideration, please apply.
