Systems Engineer Salisbury | Hybrid | Up to £60,000 + bonus
This role is for systems engineers who want to work where design, build, integration and flight all happen side by side.
You’ll join a growing UAV manufacturer developing complex uncrewed aircraft platforms in a highly dynamic, fast-evolving sector. Unlike traditional OEM environments, this is a place where systems engineers stay close to the hardware and close to the outcome.
Your focus will sit firmly on the right-hand side of the V: integration, testing, trials and subsystem development. The work is practical, collaborative and fast-paced, with frequent iteration and real-world feedback.
What makes this role different
* End-to-end product visibility — design → build → fly
* Real integration and test ownership
* Fast iteration, rapid prototyping, minimal bureaucracy
* Exposure across multiple subsystems and platforms
* A growing business where systems engineers influence outcomes
Experience that fits well
* Systems engineering experience focused on test & integration
* Electrical and/or mechanical systems background
* Comfort working hands-on with hardware
* Previous design experience welcome (but not essential)
* Ability to operate in a fast-changing environment
This role does not focus on requirements writing, it’s about making systems work (or breaking them!), proving them, and improving them.
Location & security
* Salisbury area
* Hybrid working (typically 3 days onsite, flexible)
* UK Security Clearance required or eligibility to obtain
Package
* Salary up to £60,000
* Bonus up to 15%
* Pension matched up to 6%
* Private medical & dental
* Flexible working hours
* Half-day Fridays
If you want to work at the forefront of UAV development, with real system ownership and visibility from concept to flight, this is a systems engineering role worth exploring.
