Overview
A high-impact role for a commercially driven Software & Integration Engineer to join a leading defence technology environment. This is not a back-office coding position, it's a customer-facing, delivery-focused role where your ability to connect technical solutions with real-world defence requirements will be key.

You’ll play a central role in integrating advanced software solutions into wider defence platforms and networks, working directly with customers, programme teams, and partner organisations. The ideal candidate will bring a blend of software engineering capability, systems integration experience, and a clear understanding of commercial drivers in a complex, high-stakes environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading integration of proprietary software and digital systems into wider defence networks and operational platforms.

Engaging directly with end-users and stakeholders to capture technical requirements and translate them into practical solutions.

Supporting the development and deployment of plugins, interfaces, and control applications in line with customer needs.

Acting as a technical lead during bid and proposal stages, contributing to solution design and customer presentations.

Preparing integration documentation, implementation strategies, and technical collateral for use across internal and external teams.

Identifying potential risks and proactively managing technical and commercial implications throughout the project lifecycle.

What You’ll Bring

Strong background in system engineering, integration, or digital systems delivery.

Experience working within or alongside the defence or aerospace industry.

Familiarity with defence frameworks or working with MOD end-users.
Proven ability to work with customers, interpret requirements, and present technical concepts clearly and commercially.

Understanding of defence networks, secure systems, or mission-critical software environments.

A commercially minded approach — capable of aligning technical solutions with business value and customer priorities.

Desirable

Experience developing or integrating software applications within secure or tactical environments.

Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Technologies & Platforms to Learn Now

From launch vehicles and CubeSats to space-based communications, climate monitoring, and lunar exploration—UK space jobs are entering a bold new era. With government investment, private capital, and ESA partnerships driving growth, demand is surging for professionals with the right skills to build and sustain this expanding space economy. Welcome to the Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the engineering tools, simulation platforms, programming languages and mission technologies that UK employers are prioritising. Whether you're an aerospace graduate, software engineer, or systems integrator, this radar helps you target the future of UK space careers.

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.
