About Us

DTC | A Codan Company is a technology company based in Whiteley, Hampshire.

We specialise in the research and development of wireless and critical RF communication systems.

Our Engineers work at the edge of what is scientifically possible, using every advancement in technology to our advantage.

Our technology is deployed by our customers to give them an unrivalled ability to wirelessly transmit data over long ranges with high reliability and security. We are well established across multiple markets such as military and defence, uncrewed vehicles such as drones, police and government, and broadcast technology.

About the Role

At DTC, our engineers enjoy varied roles with real impact across the product lifecycle.

This position focuses on fault diagnostics and failure analysis of returned products, playing a key role in improving product reliability and customer experience.

You will investigate customer returns, identify faults using structured diagnostic techniques, and analyse trends across multiple units to understand root causes. Rather than component-level repair, your work will centre on interpreting results, building insight, and feeding that back into Engineering and our manufacturing partners.

You will regularly use electronic test equipment such as spectrum analysers, signal generators, and power meters to support your investigations. Previous experience in using this type of equipment is essential.

You’ll work closely with Hardware, RF, Manufacturing, and Quality teams, helping to drive continuous improvement in both product design and production processes.

RF experience is useful but not essential, and you’ll have the opportunity to build this knowledge as part of your development.

Why work at DTC

We celebrate and recognise success, take pride in our culture, and enjoy working alongside highly skilled colleagues on ground-breaking technology that fuels the continued success of the business.

We offer a flexible working environment, competitive salaries, a great benefits package, and ensure that our engineers receive world-class training and development.

Where to Advertise UAV Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising UAV jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans aeronautical engineers, embedded systems developers, flight control specialists, RF engineers, payload integration experts and regulatory affairs professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest UAV candidates often come from defence backgrounds, aerospace primes or academic research groups, and move between roles through specialist networks, industry events and sector-specific channels rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UAVJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise UAV and drone roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many UAV Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UAV Job?

If you’re aiming for a role in the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry, it can feel like every job advert expects you to know a never-ending list of tools: flight control systems, autopilot frameworks, simulation platforms, sensor suites, communication stacks, mission planning software, GIS tools — and on it goes. With so many names and acronyms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and assume you must learn every tool under the sun before you’ll be taken seriously by employers. Here’s the honest truth most UAV hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real UAV problems safely, reliably and in context. Tools matter — absolutely — but they always serve a purpose: solving problems, reducing risk, improving performance, or guiding safer operations. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know — it’s: which tools you should master, in what context, and why. This article breaks down what employers actually expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look credible, confident and job-ready.
