Got a brain built for numbers and a curiosity that doesn’t quit?

If your happy place is somewhere between complex equations and hands-on problem-solving, and you’re the kind of person who actually enjoyed your final-year project, this could be your kind of role.

This isn’t a run-of-the-mill grad scheme.

You won’t be stuck shadowing someone or pushing paperwork. You’ll be designing real components for cutting-edge projects - think custom-built solutions for the kinds of clients who need things to work first time, every time.

The company?

They design and build high-performance capacitors that power everything from military propulsion systems to F1 performance tech. They’ve even contributed to the Large Hadron Collider. Not bad for a Norfolk-based team, right?

What’s in it for you?

Ownership from day one - your designs will be put to the test, literally

Proper R&D work - test rigs, prototyping, data, iteration, the lot

A small, expert team where you won’t get lost in the crowd

Deep dive into power electronics and high-voltage design

Competitive salary, training, and proper holidays (24 days plus bank hols)

Based in Norfolk - no soul-crushing commute required

You’ll fit in if:

You’ve got a degree in Electrical Engineering or similar, with strong maths and physics foundations

You’ve studied or worked in power electronics - and you’re keen to get hands-on with it

You’ve dabbled in research, at uni or beyond, and actually enjoyed it

You’re methodical but not rigid, able to juggle multiple tasks and think on your feet

You can write solid technical English and talk shop without losing people

You’re curious, precise, and keen to get your hands dirty with real hardware

This is for the thinkers, the testers, the builders.

If you want to start your engineering career with something meaningful, where your brain gets a proper workout - this is it.

Sound good? Drop us a message and we’ll talk it through. No big pitch, no portal, just a proper chat

How to Find Hidden Space Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RAeS, UKSpace & More

The UK space sector is enjoying rapid growth—driven by satellite constellations, launch services, Earth observation, space science, and defence applications. But while demand for engineers, scientists, mission designers, and space analysts is high, many of the most compelling roles are never advertised publicly. Instead, these opportunities are often filled through professional networks, working groups, innovation clusters, and academic-industry partnerships. This guide will show you how to access hidden UK space jobs by engaging with bodies like the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), UKSpace, British Interplanetary Society (BIS), and regional space clusters. By leveraging membership directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and funded projects, you can position yourself to be first in line—even before roles are posted.

How to Get a Better Space Sector Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in the UK space sector can be disheartening. Whether your work was tied to satellite design, launch services, ground systems, mission operations, or Earth observation analytics, the experience and specialist knowledge you've gained is still highly valuable. The UK government’s Space Strategy, increased commercial investment, and new launch initiatives across Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales continue to drive opportunities in upstream and downstream space technologies. This guide will help you relaunch your career in the UK space sector after redundancy.

UK Space Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your Market Value in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already misfires for UK space talent Ask a Satellite Systems Engineer wrestling with RF budgets, a Mission Operations Analyst shepherding cubesats at 04:00 UTC, or a Launch Vehicle Propulsion Engineer machining ablative liners in Cornwall: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer drifts faster than orbital debris. Since early 2024 the UK Space Agency released £1.6 billion of National Space Strategy funding, SaxaVord’s spaceport edged toward its first vertical launch licence, and Harwell Campus welcomed three VC‑fuelled in‑orbit‑servicing start‑ups. Each headline ratcheted hiring demand—and salaries. A salary guide printed in 2024 is already as dated as a Block II GPS ephemeris: no mention of the Scottish micro‑launcher premium, the AI‑earth‑observation bubble, or the sudden scarcity of flight‑dynamics controllers who can wrangle multi‑constellation mega‑swarms. To replace guesswork with data, UKSpaceJobs.co.uk distilled a clear, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority; you’ll get a realistic 2025 baseline—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks the formula, explores the forces inflating space salaries, and sets out concrete steps to boost your value within ninety days.
