Location - Bath / Bristol / Wiltshire
Salary - Flexible DOE - £70,000 / £95,000
Join a brand-new UK engineering team at the forefront of aerospace innovation. This team are pushing boundaries in unmanned systems and cutting-edge technology from advanced composite airframes to next-generation design and analysis.
We’re looking for Structural Design Engineers (roles open at all levels) with a passion for precision, performance, and problem-solving. You’ll help create lightweight, high-performance airframes that meet the most demanding aerospace standards.
What you’ll do:
 * Design and develop airframe structures with a strong focus on composite materials.
 * Create 3D models and assemblies in SolidWorks.
 * Run structural analyses and FEA simulations to validate designs.
 * Collaborate with aerodynamicists and manufacturing experts to optimise designs for strength and manufacturability.
 * Support prototyping, testing, and continuous design improvement.
What you’ll bring:
 * A degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Structural Engineering (or similar).
 * Experience in composite structural design for aerospace applications.
 * Proficiency in SolidWorks and FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, or equivalent).
 * A solid understanding of structural mechanics, materials, and manufacturing techniques.
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
