         Viscoelastic analysis
o Utilise software and programming techniques, including: Abaqus, Fortran and Matlab
o Providing technical support to projects from a structural specific perspective
o Produce key project documentation, such as structural analysis and structural test plans
Experience
We are interested in speaking to Junior Engineers who have recently completed their studies and Senior Stress Engineers who are seeking to take a lead role in the department .
o Educated to degree level with relevant Engineering (e.g. Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural or Material Science.)
o Previous experience in the use of FEA software
o Good appreciation on material science (Metals, composites, viscoelastic materials, adhesives and manufacturing methods.)
o Experience with CAD modelling & programming techniques to conduct analysis such (Altair-Hyperworks / Fortran / Python / Matlab/Mathcad )
o Ability to apply critical thinking to complex technical problems
The opportunity:
This is an excellent opportunity for both Junior and experienced Stress Engineers to join a global defence supplier who are investing heavily in R&D on the back of significant new business.

  • Product support and training will be provided for the successful candidate, to fill any gaps in knowledge and experience*
    In return our client is offering a fantastic salary, plus benefits package to include generous salary , hybrid working,  excellent contributary pension scheme, healthcare plan, onsite car parking, 33 days holiday, canteen facilities, excellent training and development opportunities.  Above all this is an opportunity to make a real contribution to the success and growth of the modern organisation who are continuing to invest in modern machinery and infrastructure.
    Security Clearance:
    The successful candidate must be able to achieve and maintain Security Check (SC) clearance for this role. Further details are available at United Kingdom Security Vetting: clearance levels - (url removed) (www.(url removed))
    Apply on-line or call Robert Wigley for a confidential discussion (url removed)

Veterans in Space: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into UK Space‑Industry Careers

Introduction Space is no longer the exclusive domain of superpowers—it’s a booming commercial arena. The 2024 UK Space Sector Report values the domestic industry at £17.5 billion, with the Government’s National Space Strategy committing £1.4 billion to launch sites, secure communications, and next‑generation navigation constellations. Defence intersects heavily: Skynet 6, Titania (space‑based quantum comms), and the UK Space Command’s responsive‑launch mandate all need skilled professionals. Military veterans bring mission focus, security clearance, and technical prowess—qualities the space sector craves. If you’ve maintained satellite uplinks on operations, guided aircraft via GPS under EW threat, or monitored ballistic trajectories, you already think in orbital mechanics and space situational awareness. This guide shows you how to leverage MoD transition programmes, translate military experience, and secure rewarding roles—from launch‑pad technician to satellite analyst—in Britain’s burgeoning space economy. Quick Win: Explore live Satellite Operations Engineer roles to see who’s hiring today.

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.
