Job description


Our client, a prominent player in the aerospace sector, is currently seeking a skilled Avionics Technician for a contract position within our team. This role is pivotal in ensuring the maintenance and operational efficiency of aircraft or aircraft components, and it demands a high level of technical knowledge and practical experience.

Key Responsibilities:

Undertake and complete maintenance and diagnostic activities on aircraft or components, including Aircraft Ground Handling, flight servicings, aircraft role changes, AD embodiments, component removals, inspections, repairs, modifications, fault rectifications, replacements, and functional/system tests. Review operational performance of aircraft components and systems, diagnosing faults and applying knowledge to effect repairs or suggest improvements to procedures. Ensure all maintenance tasks are conducted in accordance with approved data, maintenance instructions, and the organisation's Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE). Provide guidance and support to less experienced team members, fostering a dynamic and collaborative operational environment. Maintain personal task competencies and logbook for currency and recency, ensuring compliance with MOE and Functionally Mandated procedures. Undertake support tasks within the Aircraft or component maintenance facility, including oversight checks and control of tooling/test equipment. Ensure personal compliance with risk assessments, Safety, Health, and Environmental (SHE) policies and procedures. If approved as a designated assessor, undertake On-The-Job (OJT) activities, qualified by completing an OJT Training and Assessor course or an acceptable equivalent.

Job Requirements:

Experience in avionics, with a demonstrated breadth of systems experience, currency, and recency, as captured in a logbook. Broad and in-depth product knowledge and competency within the avionics field. Completion of an engineering apprenticeship, ideally in Aeronautical Engineering, or military equivalent qualifications. Minimum academic qualification of City & Guilds 2675 or 2661 in Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance or equivalent. Knowledge of Functionally Mandated Procedures and awareness of team integration to achieve overall objectives. Understanding of the requirement for continuous improvement and its application in a technical setting. Ability to work effectively within a team and provide mentorship to junior technicians. Flexible and proactive attitude towards responsibilities and directions from management.

Working Hours:

Base working hours: 5 days per week (Monday to Friday), around relevant site core hours (7:30am - 4:30pm Mon - Thurs, 7:30am - 12:00pm Fri). Total working hours: 37 per week, excluding lunch breaks. Lunch break allowance of 30 minutes between 12:30 - 1:00pm, automatically deducted by the electronic time management system. Shift work may be required based on workload, with night shifts from 16:00 to 02:00hrs. Share

Rural-Remote Space Jobs: Reaching for the Stars Beyond City Limits

A Fresh Horizon for UK Space Professionals When most people think of space industry jobs, their minds drift to launch pads in Florida, sophisticated mission controls at NASA, or even satellite facilities in the heart of London. However, the space sector is increasingly decentralised and offers abundant opportunities across the UK—well beyond the capital. At UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a surge in vacancies that allow for rural or coastal living, prompting jobseekers to search for “space jobs in the countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” A variety of factors—rising remote work, cloud-based engineering tools, and demand for diverse local test sites—are fuelling this movement. Britain’s beautiful rural and seaside regions no longer represent peripheral backwaters for the space sector. Instead, they host emerging launch sites, small satellite enterprises, research hubs, and remote teams that keep pace with the nation’s growing ambitions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), deep-space missions, and Earth observation technologies. If you’re a satellite engineer, an astro-data analyst, or a space project manager craving fresh air and lower living costs, this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore how rural-remote space roles are exploding in popularity, the specific benefits (and potential hurdles) of working outside major cities, and the practical steps you can take to launch your space career amidst rolling hills or ocean vistas.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Space—Propelling the Next Frontier of Exploration

Space exploration has long been a showcase of human ingenuity—launching satellites that enable global connectivity, sending probes to other planets, and even eyeing the possibility of interplanetary travel. Yet, as missions become more complex—think long-duration travel, real-time data analysis from distant probes, and advanced Earth observation—traditional computing methods can struggle to handle the colossal volumes of data and the intricate physics involved. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has helped automate some decision-making (like autonomous rovers on Mars), but the tasks ahead—such as on-orbit servicing, space debris management, or deep-space exploration—demand a new tier of computational capability. Enter quantum computing, a revolutionary technology that harnesses phenomena like superposition and entanglement to perform certain computations at speeds unimaginable on classical hardware. By merging quantum hardware with AI—often termed quantum-enhanced AI—the space sector stands to overcome limitations in orbital mechanics, big-data analytics, and complex resource optimisation. From more efficient satellite constellations to cutting-edge astrophysical research, this synergy could herald a new era of space exploration and commercial ventures. In this article, we will: Survey the current challenges in space-based missions, from planning and operations to data processing. Demystify quantum computing—how qubits differ from bits and why quantum algorithms can outperform classical ones in specific contexts. Examine how quantum-enhanced AI can transform various space applications, such as satellite fleets, deep-space comms, Earth observation, and more. Identify the main roadblocks (hardware maturity, data transfer) and how the industry might address them. Highlight new career pathways, skills, and roles emerging at the crossroads of space technology, AI, and quantum computing—particularly in the UK. Whether you’re a satellite engineer, astrophysicist, data scientist, or a space enthusiast curious about where technology is heading, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI may become the linchpin for the next wave of advances in space exploration, driving more efficient missions, groundbreaking research, and a thriving job market.
