Systems Engineer – Salisbury (Hybrid) - £70,000 + Bonus

As a Systems Engineer, you’ve loved having a holistic overview of a wider system. Understanding all aspects of it and hopping in on specifics where needed; you might even fancy yourself an SME in one of these areas.

But lately you’ve been pigeon-holed into one area and don’t get to see al aspects of the product end-to-end

With this opportunity, you’ll get to push your focus far, with a broad focus project to project working on next generation tech – UAVs!

As an organisation, they can design, build and test all in one area. So have a true ability to rapid prototype with speed, fail fast and reiterate to meet changing demands. It’s an environment that is challenging and given the geopolitical landscape for drone technology, requires out the box thinking!

Your role will be a Systems Engineer (we are hiring from Senior to Lead level). You’ll be in a multiskilled team who have ownership of their area and a platform for creativity. You get exposure to lots of teams, and the entire project – so each sprint can be different and whqt you work on has nuances. You aren’t expected to know it all, which is why they have one of the most tangible L&D policies available to keep nurturing your desire to learn. Ideally you have experience of:

💠Systems Engineering 3+ years
💠Electro-Mechanical or UAV systems knowledge
💠Focus on Test & Integration

UAV Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

UAVs (drones) have moved far beyond hobby flying. In the UK, they are now used every day for surveying, infrastructure inspection, construction progress, environmental monitoring, emergency response, film production, agriculture, offshore work & security. That growth has created a wide range of UAV job opportunities — and many of the most realistic routes into the sector are well suited to career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s. This article gives you a straight UK reality check on UAV careers: what roles genuinely exist, what training you really need, how long it takes to become employable, where the money is, what employers actually look for & whether age matters (usually far less than people assume).

How to Write a UAV or Drone Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are now used across a wide range of UK industries, including defence, aerospace, surveying, agriculture, energy, emergency services, infrastructure inspection and logistics. As the sector grows, so does demand for skilled UAV professionals — from pilots and engineers to software developers, systems specialists and compliance experts. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. UAV job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced UAV professionals, meanwhile, regularly ignore adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from real operational and regulatory requirements. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. UAV professionals are practical, safety-conscious and detail-oriented. A poorly written job ad signals weak understanding of aviation, regulation or operational reality. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, professionalism and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a UAV job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the UAV sector.

Maths for UAV Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you’re aiming for UAV jobs in the UK (drone pilot, UAV engineer, autonomy developer, payload specialist, flight test, survey, inspection, defence contractor roles) it’s easy to feel like you need “all the maths”. You don’t. Most real-world UAV roles repeatedly use a small set of maths topics: Linear algebra for frames, vectors & transforms Probability for sensor noise, estimation & decision confidence Complex numbers for signals, filters, RF links & control frequency response Basic optimisation for trajectory planning, tuning & trade-offs This article explains the only topics you actually need, how to learn them quickly, plus a 6-week plan & practical projects you can publish to prove the skills.
