Join a fast-growing UAV specialist at the forefront of next-generation autonomous flight. We design, build and test advanced unmanned aerial systems for defence, commercial and research applications — and we’re looking for a Graduate Aerospace Engineer ready to make an immediate impact.

What you’ll be doing

  • Supporting the design, analysis and optimisation of UAV airframes, propulsion systems and control surfaces

  • Running aerodynamic modelling, CFD studies and performance simulations

  • Assisting with flight-test planning, instrumentation and data analysis

  • Working alongside senior engineers on structural design, materials selection and system integration

  • Contributing to R&D projects pushing the boundaries of endurance, stability and autonomy

What we’re looking for
  • Degree in Aerospace Engineering (or related discipline)

  • Strong understanding of aerodynamics, flight mechanics and propulsion

  • Experience with CAD/CAE tools (SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, ANSYS, MATLAB/Simulink)

  • Passion for UAVs, robotics or autonomous systems

  • Hands-on mindset, curiosity and willingness to learn fast

What we offer
  • Exposure to full UAV lifecycle: concept design build test flight

  • Cutting-edge projects with real-world impact

  • Mentorship from experienced aerospace and autonomy engineers

  • Rapid career progression in a high-growth environment

If you want to build aircraft that actually fly — this is the place to start your career.
