  • Commercial experience as a GNC / Flight Control Engineer
  • Strong background in control systems and flight dynamics
  • Experience working on UAV, aerospace, or autonomous platforms
  • Confident collaborating across embedded, electronics, and systems teams
  • UK‑based and able to attend site when required
  • MATLAB / Simulink, Python, C/C++ exposure
  • Experience with real‑time or embedded implementations
  • Security clearance or eligibility
Why apply
