Contract:

Permanent, full-time

Join a fast-growing aerospace SME working on cutting‑edge autonomous aircraft for defence, logistics, and humanitarian missions. We're expanding our engineering team with two hires across seniority levels to support next‑generation UAV platforms.

As an Electronic Design Enginee, you’ll design and develop avionics and embedded electronic systems for fixed‑wing autonomous aircraft. Work includes system architecture, PCB/electronics design, testing, and integration across flight‑critical systems. Lead‑level candidates will also set technical direction and guide engineers.

• Avionics & embedded system design for UAV platforms
• Electronic hardware development (schematics, PCB, component selection)
• Prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting
• Support flight tests, system integration & manufacturing
• Compliance with aerospace/defence standards (DO‑160, DO‑254, SORA)
• Cross‑functional collaboration with software, mechanical, and systems teams
• Lead role: technical ownership, roadmap planning, mentoring, supplier engagement

• STEM degree
• Experience in electronics, embedded systems, or avionics PCB design & schematic capture
• Understanding of EMC/EMI, multilayer boards & high‑reliability design
• Practical prototyping skills
• Bonus: C/C++ for microcontrollers (STM
  32), Python, UAV/flight test exposure

• Exciting growth phase
• Real impact on next‑gen aerospace systems
• Mix of hands‑on engineering and high‑level design
• Local SME with agility, innovation, and visibility
