Job Summary

Job Description

Some engineers build aircraft...

Others make them unstoppable.

This team sits firmly in the second camp - designing the structural backbone of next-generation UAVs built for speed resilience and real-world performance.

Were looking for an AerospaceEngineer whos taken designs from concept to flight - someone who knows every gram saved is a story of trade-offs equations and ingenuity.

Here youll support the design and analysis of composite metallic and additive-manufactured structures balancing lightweight design with durability and certification demands. Youll support the full lifecycle - simulation testing validation and production - and collaborate closely with aerodynamicists propulsion specialists and flight test engineers to bring advanced UAV systems to life.

If you love turning elegant theory into aircraft that can take a hit and keep flying this is the kind of work that will get you out of bed in the morning.

What youll do

Contribute to design and FEA analysis for advanced airframe structures
Apply topology optimisation for lightweight certifiable designs
Define and oversee structural testing campaigns
Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to ensure structural integrity through concept build and flight test
Shape the direction of future UAV platforms

What youll bring

2 years in structural design and analysis across composite metallic or additive-manufactured components
Proficiency with FEA tools such as ANSYS Abaqus Nastran or HyperMesh
Deep understanding of lightweighting fatigue and airworthiness standards
Strong problem-solving instincts and a bias for getting things built
