Our client, a global Aerospace systems manufacturer, is seeking an Electrical/Electro Mechanical Project Engineer to join their dynamic engineering team based in Slough. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a pivotal role in the design, development, and delivery of innovative electrical and mechanical products that support cutting-edge aerospace applications.
You’ll be responsible for leading new product development projects — from concept through to delivery — ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to specification. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you’ll bring together technical design expertise, project management capability, and a passion for problem-solving in a fast-paced, high-precision environment.
Key Responsibilities


  • Lead and support engineering development projects in line with company strategy and customer requirements.

  • Manage New Product Introduction (NPI) activities using structured engineering processes.

  • Define project objectives, create detailed project plans, and manage work packages to deliver key milestones.

  • Produce and maintain technical documentation, project dashboards, and progress reports.

  • Design and develop mechanical and electrical components using CATIA or similar CAD tools.

  • Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and implement corrective actions.

  • Apply “design for manufacture,” “design to cost,” and “design for inspection” principles.

  • Liaise with internal teams, suppliers, and customers to resolve technical challenges.

  • Support R&D initiatives and contribute to new product concepts and technology roadmaps.

  • Ensure compliance with quality, health & safety, and environmental standards.

  • Occasional travel to customer and supplier sites in the UK and overseas.

About You


  • Degree qualified in Mechanical, Electrical, or Electro-Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience).

  • Proven experience in project or design engineering within a manufacturing or aerospace environment.

  • Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical design principles.

  • Skilled in CAD tools (CATIA, SolidWorks, or equivalent).

  • Experienced in project progress reporting, RFQs, and technical documentation.

  • Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

  • Knowledge of aerospace industry standards and interconnect products (advantageous).

  • Flexible to occasionally travel within the UK and internationally.

What’s on Offer


  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • Opportunity to work with a globally recognised engineering brand.

  • Structured career development and professional training.

  • Collaborative and innovative working environment

How to Write a Space Industry Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

The UK space sector is growing rapidly. From satellite manufacturing and launch services to Earth observation, space data, communications and downstream applications, organisations across the UK are hiring engineers, scientists, software specialists and operations professionals to support increasingly complex space missions. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Space industry job adverts often receive very few applications, or attract candidates whose experience does not align with the realities of space programmes. At the same time, experienced space professionals frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, over-ambitious or disconnected from how space projects actually operate. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Space professionals are systems-focused, risk-aware and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak programme maturity and unrealistic expectations. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, technical seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a space industry job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the UK space sector.

Maths for Space Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

UK space careers can look intimidating from the outside. Job adverts mention “systems engineering” “mission assurance” “GN&C” “RF” “payloads” “flight dynamics” “verification” “ECSS” & suddenly you’re wondering if you need a maths degree just to apply. You don’t. For most UK space jobs, the maths you actually use clusters into a handful of practical topics that map directly to real work across satellites, launch, ground segment, downstream data, mission ops & space software. This article strips it down to what matters most for job readiness plus a 6-week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can use immediately. UK space is also actively focused on growth & skills. The government’s National Space Strategy sets ambitions to grow the UK’s space ecosystem & spread employment across the UK. The Space Sector Skills Survey 2023 highlights recruitment challenges plus the importance of new skills & technologies including AI & ML. Recent industry reporting also estimates UK space industry employment at 55,550 FTEs plus wider supply-chain jobs. So learning the right maths is not an academic exercise. It’s a practical way to widen the roles you can credibly target.

Neurodiversity in UK Space Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

The UK space sector has quietly become one of the most exciting places to build a career. From small satellites & launch services to Earth observation, navigation, in-orbit servicing & space data startups, the industry needs people who can solve hard problems in smart ways. Those people are not all “typical” engineers or scientists – and that’s a strength, not a weakness. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for precision work in the space sector. In reality, many of the traits that made school or previous jobs difficult can be major assets in space engineering, mission operations & space data roles. This guide is written for neurodivergent job seekers exploring UK space careers. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a space industry context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common space roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in the UK space sector – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
