Electrical Integration Engineer

Electrical Integration Engineer | Defence & Autonomous Systems | West Wales | Hybrid | Up to £75,000

We're working with a fast-growing defence and autonomous systems company based in West Wales, developing cutting-edge UAV and autonomous platform technology. As they scale their engineering capability, they're looking for an Electrical Integration Engineer to step into a senior technical leadership position within the team.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of growth — where your work will have real visibility and genuine impact on the platforms being built.

You'll be the technical authority for electrical integration across UAV and autonomous systems programmes, leading the way on how electrical and electronic subsystems come together within a cohesive, deployable platform. Working closely with mechanical, systems, and software engineering colleagues, you'll own the electrical integration process from design intent through to physical delivery.

• Leading electrical integration activities across UAV and autonomous platform programmes
• Managing electrical interfaces between subsystems — power distribution, signal routing, harness architecture, and connector strategy
• Driving integration planning, defining interface control documentation, and resolving cross-discipline clashes early
• Acting as a technical point of contact for electrical integration challenges within a growing engineering team
• Supporting testing, build, and verification activities to ensure platforms meet programme requirements
• Collaborating with internal teams and external suppliers to maintain electrical integration integrity throughout the development lifecycle

• Proven experience in electrical systems integration, ideally within defence, aerospace, or autonomous platforms
• Strong understanding of how electrical, mechanical, and software subsystems interact at a platform level
• Experience managing electrical interfaces, harness design, and contributing to or owning interface control documentation
• Comfortable operating in a hands‑on, fast‑paced engineering environment
• A natural technical leader — someone who can bring structure and clarity to complex integration challenges
• Eligibility for SC security clearance (British nationality or long‑term UK residency required)

• Background in UAV, drone, or autonomous ground/air vehicle programmes
• Familiarity with MoD or defence programme environments
• Experience with power management, EMC considerations, or avionics integration
• Experience supporting physical build, rig, or flight test activities

• Salary up to £75,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid working with a base in West Wales
• A senior, influential role in a team that's growing fast
• The chance to work on genuinely complex, meaningful autonomous systems technology
