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

For immediate consideration, please apply

Veterans in UAVs & Drones: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into Uncrewed Aviation Careers

Introduction Britain’s skies are getting crowded—by design. The UK Future Flight Challenge is injecting £300 million into next‑generation drones, cargo VTOLs, and air‑traffic management (ATM) tech. PwC values UK drone adoption at £45 billion in economic impact by 2030, generating 650,000 new jobs in inspection, delivery, and emergency response. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) leads the charge with programmes such as Protector RG Mk1 (MQ‑9B Reaper successor) and Project MORPHEUS swarm trials. For veterans, drones are familiar territory. Whether you flew a Watchkeeper UAS over Helmand, maintained quadcopters for route clearance, or coordinated temporary danger areas (TDAs) for training, your skills map directly to the civilian drone revolution. This guide explains how to leverage MoD transition programmes, translate military credentials, and land rewarding roles in piloting, engineering, and drone‑data analytics.

Rural-Remote UAV Jobs: Charting New Flight Paths Beyond the City

A New Horizon for Drone Enthusiasts Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have soared from niche military tools and hobbyist gadgets to an essential technology across a broad range of sectors—from agriculture and mapping to construction and public safety. Historically, those seeking a career in UAV technology might have assumed they needed to live in a bustling city hub or near major airports to stand a chance of landing a good role. But times are changing. Advances in remote communication, cloud-based data processing, and drone autonomy now enable professionals to work on sophisticated UAV projects from almost anywhere in the UK, including rural and coastal regions. At UAVJobs.co.uk, we’re witnessing a significant shift. More employers are open to hiring remote UAV pilots, data analysts, software developers, and project managers—provided they can access reliable internet and handle occasional on-site visits. Likewise, an increasing number of professionals are seeking “tech jobs by the sea” or “UAV remote countryside” roles, motivated by rising urban living costs, quality-of-life aspirations, and the growing acceptance of distributed teams. In this article, we’ll explore why “rural-remote UAV jobs” are no longer a pipe dream, the benefits and challenges of stepping beyond the city, and how to position yourself for success if you’re ready to settle among rolling hills or scenic coastlines. Whether you’re a seasoned drone pilot, a software engineer working on flight autonomy, or a GIS analyst processing aerial data, you might be pleasantly surprised by the opportunities waiting for you outside metropolitan areas.
