About the Company

Join a fast-growing and innovative technology business working on cutting-edge camera, imaging, and sensor systems for next-generation applications. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to the development of advanced camera and sensing technologies being deployed internationally, including new drone systems currently entering the market.
The company designs and manufactures its own electronic components, giving engineers a true end-to-end view of the product life-cycle. You'll be part of an agile, forward-thinking team where your ideas and expertise can directly shape the direction of the technology.

The Role

As an Electronics Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing, testing, and integrating camera and sensor electronics. You'll work closely with the technical lead to build and refine systems that push the boundaries of imaging technology.
This position offers variety, ownership, and technical challenge, combining both hands-on engineering and opportunities to influence design direction.
Key Responsibilities:

Design, build, and test digital and mixed-signal electronics for advanced camera and sensor systems

Develop and refine PCB designs and support system-level integration

Collaborate with cross-functional teams on electronics, signal processing, and FPGA-based systems

Support prototype builds, testing, and validation of complex electronic assemblies

Provide input into product design, manufacturability, and long-term system improvements

Participate in project meetings, contributing to innovation and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

Degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar

2+ years' experience in electronics design, testing, or integration (3+ years ideal)

Experience with digital and mixed-signal circuit design and FPGA

Knowledge of signal processing and fast microcontrollers.

Experience with camera or imaging systems is desirable but not essential

Proficiency with PCB design tools (experience with Fusion beneficial)

Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to work independently

Must have the right to work in the UK/Ireland - no visa sponsorship available

Why Join

Work on cutting-edge technologies rarely seen in the UK market

Highly flexible and agile environment with a genuine focus on innovation

Opportunity to take ownership and shape the role as the team grows
Exposure to varied and impactful projects within Defence and Technology
Collaborative, supportive culture where your ideas make a real difference
Flexible on work setup - hybrid or remote, though testing and integration must be done on-site (duration depends on candidate experience)

Neurodiversity in UAV & Drone Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) – drones – have moved from hobby gadgets to essential tools. They inspect wind turbines, support emergency services, survey construction sites, map farmland, film live events & deliver critical medical supplies. Behind every successful mission are people: pilots, observers, maintenance engineers, data analysts, software developers & operations managers. Many of them do not think in a “typical” way – & that’s exactly why they’re good at what they do. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you might have heard that your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for aviation work. In reality, many traits that made school or traditional office jobs difficult are serious strengths in UAV & drone operations – from hyperfocus during flights to pattern-spotting in aerial data. This guide is for neurodivergent job seekers exploring UAV & drone careers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a UAV context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to drone roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll see how “different thinking” can be a genuine superpower in the drone industry – not a weakness.

UAV & Drone Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicle) and drone jobs market is maturing fast. The “shiny new toy” phase is over. Public expectations and regulation are tougher, budgets are more closely scrutinised, and clients want measurable outcomes – safer inspections, faster data, lower costs, better evidence – not just impressive footage. At the same time, demand for UAV services in infrastructure inspection, construction, energy, agriculture, emergency response, defence and media continues to grow. Long-term trends like asset digitisation, smart cities, and net-zero infrastructure all rely on high-quality aerial data and remote operations. The result: fewer opportunistic one-off drone gigs, and more emphasis on professional UAV operations, data workflows and compliant, scalable services. Whether you’re: A job seeker looking for “UAV jobs in the UK”, “drone pilot jobs UK”, or “remote UAS operator roles”, or A recruiter or hiring manager trying to understand “UAV hiring trends 2026” and “how to hire drone pilots and UAS engineers”, …this guide breaks down what’s changing – and what to do about it.

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.
