Job description

Lead Hardware Engineer

Oxford (or Cambridge)

Permanent

Competitive salary (Very competitive)

A truly rare opportunity to join a company at a defining part of their journey. They already have an exceptional pipeline and require a hardware engineer to take a leadership role on development of their UAV platform.

The role is brilliant, it's a chance to take something through it's entire life cycle and genuinely have autonomy over it. You will have the chance to define the strategy whilst keeping your hands on the technology you love.

They need someone with a hardware platform background, who has extensive knowledge of UAV technology. Sensors, power supplies, boards and control systems will all be a part of the process, a full UAV basically!

The role is ideally based in Oxford, but they will consider people looking to work in Cambridge. They're open to hybrid working but this is hands on, hardware development, so you'll need to be around the technology.

The company have defence focused projects, meaning SC clearance will need to be obtained and ideally you will need to be a British citizen.
