Job Description

Principal Systems Engineer - Salisbury (Hybrid) - £75000 + 15% Bonus

UAVs are proving to be a huge focal point in both civilian and military technology.

Their application is broad and the level of innovation in this space in the last few years alone is something to applaud. But that journey isn't yet complete, and ideally as the new Principal Systems Engineer you'll contribute to that.

This company is at the forefront of tech in the UK, with multiple platforms which have already seen impressive success.

Your role:

  • Leading on the design, development, and integration of avionic systems.
  • Influence best practice, team processes, and architectures.
  • Work on Integration & Test of navigation, power, and fuel systems.

You'll have to have or be eligible for SC and have an extensive history of working in a similar systems engineering role, focusing on test & integration of electronics devices (ideally aerospace, but not essential).

For immediate consideration, please apply.

How to Get a Better UAV Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drone technology can be disheartening—especially in such a cutting-edge and evolving sector. But with the growing adoption of UAVs in defence, surveying, logistics, agriculture, inspection, and emergency response, your skills remain in demand. Whether you're a drone pilot, UAV systems engineer, geospatial analyst, flight software developer, or mechanical integrator, this guide will help you bounce back stronger after redundancy.

UAV Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already misleads UK drone professionals Ask a BVLOS Pilot stitching flight plans over the Irish Sea, a Drone Data Analyst crunching multispectral crop imagery, or an Avionics Engineer debugging quad‑rotor ESCs at midnight: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer drifts faster than a geofence breach. Since early 2024 the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) introduced sandbox corridors for beyond‑visual‑line‑of‑sight operations, Network Rail signed a multi‑million‑pound inspection contract, & the UK’s Future Flight Challenge pumped an extra £105 million into autonomous‑air‑mobility trials. Each shock nudges salary bands. A salary guide printed in 2024 is already a fossil — blind to the surge in middle‑mile drone logistics, the Highlands’ offshore wind survey boom, or the police drones standard now mandating dual‑thermal payloads. To replace guesswork with evidence, UAVJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent three‑factor formula. Plug in your discipline, UK region & seniority; you’ll see a realistic 2025 baseline — no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces inflating UAV pay, & sets out five practical moves to boost your market value inside ninety days.

How to Present UAV Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are revolutionising industries—from agriculture and infrastructure to emergency response and environmental monitoring. But as UAVs become more advanced, so does the need to clearly explain what they do, how they work, and why they matter to people outside the engineering world. Whether you're applying for a UAV pilot role, drone software engineer position, regulatory consultant, or operations manager, your ability to present UAV technology and applications to non-technical audiences is a skill that UK employers are increasingly testing in interviews. This guide will help you structure your presentation, simplify technical content, design clear visuals, and confidently respond to common stakeholder questions—so you can stand out in interviews and lead effectively on the job.
