About the Role

You’ll play a key role in translating engineering designs into efficient manufacturing processes, ensuring all parts and assemblies are correctly managed throughout the product lifecycle. From interpreting Bills of Materials (BoMs) and engineering drawings to leading New Product Introduction (NPI) and resolving non-conformances, this role demands precision, problem-solving, and a continuous improvement mindset.

Key Responsibilities:



Develop and manage manufacturing Bills of Materials from engineering data.

*

Create clear, structured work instructions for production teams.

*

Support production in resolving technical challenges and process improvements.

*

Champion continuous improvement and Lean Manufacturing principles.

*

Collaborate on tooling, process selection, and change management initiatives.

What We’re Looking For:

*

Background in Manufacturing Engineering or as a Lead Technician.

*

Strong understanding of BoMs, work instructions, and process controls.

*

Experience with CAD, PLM systems, and hands-on workshop practices.

*

Problem-solving skills using RCCA, 5Y, and Lean methodologies.

*

Aerospace or advanced engineering experience (preferred).

Why Join Us?

*

Work on cutting-edge aerospace and engineering projects.

*

Join a team that values innovation, collaboration, and career growth.

*

Competitive salary, great culture, and opportunities for advancement.

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.

UK Space Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Space Department

The UK space sector is rapidly expanding. With growth in satellite design, Earth observation, communications, launch systems, space science, downstream applications, and regulatory and operational services, there’s rising demand for skilled professionals across many disciplines. Building a high-impact space organisation requires well-defined team structures, clear roles, strong collaboration, and alignment across engineering, science, operations, regulation, and commercial functions. If you are applying for roles via UKSpaceJobs.co.uk or hiring into your company, this guide will help you understand the principal roles you’ll find in a space team, how they interact during mission lifecycles, what skills UK employers expect, salary norms, common challenges, and best practice for structuring space teams that succeed.
