Join a fast-growing UAV specialist at the forefront of next-generation autonomous flight. We design, build and test advanced unmanned aerial systems for defence, commercial and research applications — and we’re looking for a Graduate Aerospace Engineer ready to make an immediate impact.

What you’ll be doing

  • Supporting the design, analysis and optimisation of UAV airframes, propulsion systems and control surfaces
  • Running aerodynamic modelling, CFD studies and performance simulations
  • Assisting with flight-test planning, instrumentation and data analysis
  • Working alongside senior engineers on structural design, materials selection and system integration
  • Contributing to R&D projects pushing the boundaries of endurance, stability and autonomy

What we’re looking for

  • Degree in Aerospace Engineering (or related discipline)
  • Strong understanding of aerodynamics, flight mechanics and propulsion
  • Experience with CAD/CAE tools (SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, ANSYS, MATLAB/Simulink)
  • Passion for UAVs, robotics or autonomous systems
  • Hands-on mindset, curiosity and willingness to learn fast

What we offer

  • Exposure to full UAV lifecycle: concept design build test flight
  • Cutting-edge projects with real-world impact
  • Mentorship from experienced aerospace and autonomy engineers
  • Rapid career progression in a high-growth environment

If you want to build aircraft that actually fly — this is the place to start your career.

Where to Advertise Space Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise space jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, agency channels and community routes that reach satellite, propulsion and launch talent. The candidate pool spans satellite engineers, propulsion specialists, mission analysts, ground segment software developers, space systems architects and commercial space professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary community that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest space candidates are often embedded in ESA programmes, academic research groups, UK Space Agency-funded projects or established primes, and move between roles through sector-specific networks, industry bodies and conference communities rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise space industry roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
