  • Full software lifecycle activities including:
  • Requirements capture
  • Design
  • Development

  • Full software development lifecycle
  • Structured software development methodologies
  • Working within technical engineering teams

Desirable Experience

Any experience in the following would be advantageous:

  • Embedded software or firmware development
  • C or C++
  • Hardware/software integration
  • Xamarin or Android development
  • Electronics knowledge
  • Defence, aerospace, industrial systems, or regulated engineering environments

The Ideal Candidate

You will likely be:

  • A strong problem solver
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Detail-oriented and quality-focused
  • Interested in engineering-led environments
  • Motivated by technically complex products and systems

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.
