Senior Aerodynamics Engineer: Rocket Aerodynamics

Join a global leader in storage handling solutions, renowned for its cutting-edge auto storage retrieval systems. With a diverse range of products implemented across numerous countries, our company consistently enhances efficiency in storage, whether in ambient or cold storage environments. We are seeking to augment our Engineering team by introducing a Design Engineer. As a Design Engineer, you will spearhead multiple design projects, from conceptualisation and drawing creation to full design approval. Collaborating closely with Production, your role will ensure seamless support throughout the manufacturing and testing phases, guaranteeing top-tier quality and on-time delivery.

As a Design Engineer, you will develop design solutions that surpass customer expectations in terms of cost, quality, and schedule adherence. You will meet designated schedules and budgets for all assigned work, thoroughly research and comprehend internal and external specifications and regulatory requirements, generate 3D designs (using SolidWorks) and manufacturing drawings to bolster the company's product range, create detailed on-site installation drawings, and develop comprehensive procedures for subcontracted teams involved in the installation process.

Additionally, you will perform engineering calculations and analyses to ensure compliance with equipment specifications, create and update build procedures in alignment with company standards, seamlessly integrate intricate hydraulic, electrical, and electronic systems into mechanical designs, compile comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOMs) for Procurement Departments, Production and Installation teams, and adhere strictly to company protocols for Design, Documentation, Engineering Change Management, and Production flow. Although the primary focus of the job involves computer-based tasks, occasional hands-on involvement may be required.

The role is predominantly located in Clontibret; however, there may be occasional travel requirements to sites for confirming measurements and installing new systems. You will also provide engineering and technical support to Production, Sales, and After-Sales Departments, support product testing both at the factory and on-site, participate in customer meetings, and ensure strict compliance with our ISO 9001 Quality Management System and company health and safety procedures.

To succeed in this role, you will need proficiency in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, prior experience with PDM and ERP systems, and knowledge of workshop equipment, such as lathes and mills, and the ability to design such equipment. Essential skills include proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel, the capability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment, self-motivation with excellent time management and prioritisation skills, strong verbal and written communication skills, the ability to thrive under pressure while maintaining a team-player attitude, and the ability to foster positive relationships with suppliers.

In return, we offer an attractive salary (negotiable depending on experience), access to the company pension scheme, private medical insurance (after 12 months), service rewards, on-and off-the-job training depending on skills and qualifications, and the opportunity to work in a wide range of industries. The job is full-time (40 hours per week) with flexible working hours: Monday - Thursday 8:15 - 17:30, Friday - 8:15 - 15:00. The work location is in person (no remote).

UAV (Drones) Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK unmanned aviation (UAV/UAS/RPAS) hiring has shifted from aircraft‑type buzzwords to capability‑driven evaluation across flight ops, autonomy, data products, safety & regulatory compliance. Employers want proof you can plan, fly, analyse and scale UAV systems safely and economically—VLOS/A2 CofC, GVC, BVLOS & SORA ops, UTM integrations, command‑and‑control resilience, sense‑and‑avoid, payload pipelines, and fleet reliability. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for UAV pilots/ops managers, flight test engineers, autonomy/perception, GNC/control, UTM/backend, safety & airworthiness, data processing/analysis, and field engineering roles. Who this is for: UAV pilots & flight ops, mission planners, flight test & safety engineers, autonomy/SLAM/perception, GNC/control engineers, embedded/avionics, communications & C2 links, UTM/airspace integrations, data processing (imagery/LiDAR/thermal), GIS/photogrammetry, maintenance & field techs, and programme/product managers in the UK.

Why UAV (Drone) Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have seen rapid adoption across sectors in the UK — agriculture, logistics, inspection, mapping, delivery, search & rescue, environmental monitoring, media, defence, and more. As UAV use proliferates, the roles supporting them are shifting. Modern UAV careers are no longer just about aerodynamics, electronics or autopilot algorithms. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design — because flying machines in public airspace must be safe, trusted, legal, intuitive and well communicated. In this article, we’ll explore why UAV careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with UAV work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.

UAV Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern UAV Department

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly called drones, are transforming industries across the UK—from agriculture, surveillance, mapping, and inspection to logistics, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. UAV systems combine hardware, embedded systems, controls, autonomy, sensors, communications, regulatory / airworthiness, and operations. As the UAV ecosystem grows, companies need team structures that ensure safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational readiness. If you are applying for UAV roles via UAVJobs.co.uk or building a UAV team, this article will help you understand the roles typical in a modern UAV department, how they collaborate throughout the UAV lifecycle, what skills and qualifications employers expect in the UK, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver capable UAV systems.
