Graduate Aerospace Engineer – UAV Systems
Join a fast-growing UAV technology company developing next-generation uncrewed aircraft systems for defence, industrial, and commercial missions. We’re looking for a Graduate Aerospace Engineer who’s excited to work on real flight hardware, autonomy systems, and mission-ready platforms from day one.
The Role
You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary engineering team working across:
- Aerodynamics, flight performance, and stability analysis
- UAV airframe design, optimisation, and integration
- Flight-control systems, modelling, and simulation
- Testing, validation, and data analysis for flight trials
- Systems engineering across propulsion, avionics, and autonomy
- Supporting prototype builds, ground tests, and flight operations
This is a hands-on role where you’ll contribute directly to live UAV programmes and see your work fly.
What You’ll Bring
- Degree (BEng/MEng) in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautics, Mechanical Engineering, or similar
- Strong understanding of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, and aircraft structures
- Experience with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SolidWorks, CATIA, or CFD packages
- Interest in UAVs, autonomy, robotics, or next-gen aviation
- Ability to solve technical problems and communicate clearly
- Curiosity, initiative, and willingness to get involved in hands-on engineering
Nice to Have
- Experience with UAV projects, student competitions, or personal drone builds
- Knowledge of control theory or embedded systems
- Exposure to flight-test environments or data analysis
- Familiarity with CAA regulations or BVLOS operations
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge UAV platforms shaping the future of uncrewed aviation
- Real responsibility from day one
- Hybrid working with a central London base
- Mentorship from senior aerospace, autonomy, and systems engineers
- Clear progression path into specialist or senior engineering roles
- A collaborative, engineering-led culture where your ideas matter
