Are you ready to take the lead on next-generation aerospace technologies? We’re hiring a Systems Engineering Manager to join a cutting-edge team developing high-performance electric propulsion systems for aviation and eVTOL platforms.

This is a senior leadership role where you'll own the full V-lifecycle. From early requirements capture through to integration, verification, and certification. You won’t be doing the hands-on engineering, but you’ll be the technical glue between customers and internal teams, ensuring solutions are robust, compliant, and delivered with precision.

Key Responsibilities – Systems Engineering Manager

  • Lead systems development from concept to launch, aligning with technology roadmaps and programme goals.

  • Own requirements capture, decomposition, and traceability across the full development lifecycle.

  • Act as the primary technical interface for customers, suppliers, and internal teams.

  • Ensure compliance with aerospace standards including ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C, DO-254, and DO-160G.

  • Support certification planning, risk management, and cross-functional design assurance.

    What We’re Looking For – Systems Engineering Manager

  • Degree qualified in Systems, Electrical, Aerospace, or a related field.

  • Proven leadership in systems engineering within aerospace or high-integrity environments.

  • Strong knowledge of the V-model, including system architecture, requirements flow-down, and verification strategy.

  • Confident dealing with customers and managing technical dialogue at a senior level.

  • Familiar with certification frameworks and safety-critical development standards.

    Why Join as a Systems Engineering Manager?
    You'll be part of a collaborative, high-impact team working on game-changing aerospace programmes. This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation that blends innovation with world-class engineering rigour.

    You'll receive:

  • Generous base salary

  • 30 days holiday + bank holidays

  • Private medical cover

  • New, state-of-the-art working environment

  • Long-term career potential in a growing company

    Interested? Please apply today!
    If you're ready to step into a visible, strategic role and shape the future of aerospace, apply now or reach out for a confidential chat within 1 working day of your application

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.

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.
