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)

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.
