Communications / RF Engineers – (UAS / UAV / Aerospace)
Location - Bristol / Southwest (Hybrid)
Salary - Flexible DOE
We are building a new UK-based communications engineering team to support advanced unmanned and autonomous platforms operating in complex defence environments.
This role is focused on military and defence communications systems, combining hands-on technical depth with a systems engineering mindset. You’ll work across radio, SATCOM, and networked communications, supporting beyond-line-of-sight connectivity for unmanned aircraft and other autonomous platforms. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to new-to-market products in a fast-growing, mission-driven engineering environment.
What you’ll do:
You will design, integrate, and support secure, resilient communication systems for unmanned and autonomous platforms, working closely with systems, software, and platform engineering teams.
* Design and integrate military radio communication systems
* Work on SATCOM and BLOS communications
* Develop and support networked and meshed communication architectures
* Integrate communications across unmanned platforms (UAS / AUVs)
* Support RF-based communication performance and capability
* Collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams with a communications-led focus
What you’ll bring:
* Background in communications engineering within defence or aerospace
* Experience with military radios, RF systems, and SATCOM
* Knowledge of networked / meshed communication systems
* Systems engineering experience with a communications specialism
* Exposure to unmanned or autonomous platforms (UAS / AUVs) desirable
Nice to have:
* Any technical experience with tools like SATIN or ZODIAC
What’s on Offer:
* 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
