Propulsion Engineers - (roles open at all levels)
Location - Bath / Bristol / Wiltshire
Salary - Flexible DOE - £40,000 / £90,000
Join a pioneering UK engineering team building the next generation of unmanned systems. From powertrains to performance optimisation, you’ll be shaping propulsion technology that pushes the limits of endurance, reliability, and efficiency.
We’re on the lookout for Propulsion Engineers (roles open at all levels) with the drive to innovate and the skills to make a real impact. You’ll be part of a fast-growing, multidisciplinary team redefining what’s possible in aerospace and autonomous flight.
What you’ll do:
* Design, analyse, and optimise propulsion systems for UAS platforms.
* Evaluate and integrate motors, propellers, powertrains, and energy storage systems.
* Perform modelling, thermal analysis, and system-level studies to boost performance.
* Develop and execute test plans from bench testing to full validation.
* Collaborate across disciplines to ensure seamless system integration.
* Contribute to propulsion architectures that enhance endurance and payload capability.
What you’ll bring:
* A degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering.
* Strong grasp of aerodynamics, thermodynamics, motor design, and power systems.
* Hands-on experience with propulsion integration (motors, controllers, or batteries).
* Familiarity with simulation tools such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, Simulink, or ANSYS.
* A collaborative, practical mindset with a passion for solving real engineering challenges.
What’s in it for you:
* A chance to shape an entirely new engineering capability and influence the future of aerospace design
* Competitive salary, based on experience
* Up to 10% matched pension contribution
* Private medical insurance
* Performance-related bonus
