Are you ready to take the lead on next-generation aerospace technologies? We’re hiring a Systems Engineering Manager to join a cutting-edge team developing high-performance electric propulsion systems for aviation and eVTOL platforms.

This is a senior leadership role where you'll own the full V-lifecycle. From early requirements capture through to integration, verification, and certification. You won’t be doing the hands-on engineering, but you’ll be the technical glue between customers and internal teams, ensuring solutions are robust, compliant, and delivered with precision.

Key Responsibilities – Systems Engineering Manager

  • Lead systems development from concept to launch, aligning with technology roadmaps and programme goals.

  • Own requirements capture, decomposition, and traceability across the full development lifecycle.

  • Act as the primary technical interface for customers, suppliers, and internal teams.

  • Ensure compliance with aerospace standards including ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C, DO-254, and DO-160G.

  • Support certification planning, risk management, and cross-functional design assurance.

    What We’re Looking For – Systems Engineering Manager

  • Degree qualified in Systems, Electrical, Aerospace, or a related field.

  • Proven leadership in systems engineering within aerospace or high-integrity environments.

  • Strong knowledge of the V-model, including system architecture, requirements flow-down, and verification strategy.

  • Confident dealing with customers and managing technical dialogue at a senior level.

  • Familiar with certification frameworks and safety-critical development standards.

    Why Join as a Systems Engineering Manager?
    You'll be part of a collaborative, high-impact team working on game-changing aerospace programmes. This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation that blends innovation with world-class engineering rigour.

    You'll receive:

  • Generous base salary

  • 30 days holiday + bank holidays

  • Private medical cover

  • New, state-of-the-art working environment

  • Long-term career potential in a growing company

    Interested? Please apply today!
    If you're ready to step into a visible, strategic role and shape the future of aerospace, apply now or reach out for a confidential chat within 1 working day of your application

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.
