Electronics Manufacturing Engineer

Join the Team Building the Future of Flight

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real impact, take on exciting challenges, and be part of a team that's shaping the future of aviation?

At Malloy Aeronautics, you'll play a key role in helping us develop innovative technology that's changing the way the world moves.

We're on a mission to revolutionise unmanned flight. At Malloy Aeronautics, we develop advanced heavy-lift UAVs for both defence and commercial applications.

What sets us apart is our in-house approach. From design and engineering to manufacturing and testing, the majority of our work happens under one roof in Berkshire, allowing us to innovate quickly, maintain exceptional quality, and bring ideas to life faster.

For our teams, that means hands‑on involvement, real ownership, and the opportunity to help shape the future of aviation.

Responsible for supporting the manufacturing, assembly, and testing of electronic systems used in UAV platforms. Acts as the key link between design engineering and production, ensuring that electronic components and assemblies are built to specification, are testable, and meet quality and performance requirements. Works closely with technicians, design engineers, and supply chain teams to improve build processes, troubleshoot production issues, and ensure repeatability and reliability in the final product.

What you’ll being doing (but not limited too):

Support the assembly and production of PCBAs, wiring looms, and electronic modules used across UAV systems

Develop, document, and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), build instructions, and test guides

Investigate and resolve build issues, non-conformances, or test failures in production batches

Collaborate with electronics design engineers to improve DFM (Design for Manufacture) and DFT (Design for Test) practices

Create and maintain wiring diagrams, test reports, and traceability documentation for regulatory and quality compliance

Define and optimise production tooling, test rigs, and custom fixtures to streamline assembly processes

Perform or support functional testing, continuity checks, and basic debugging of circuit assemblies

Track build status, yield, and rework metrics to support production performance monitoring

Contribute to the selection of production methods and equipment for new electronic designs

Support continuous improvement in build quality, reliability, and efficiency across electronics production workflows

Procurements machinery for PCB development and manufacture – develop business cases to ensure full justification for capital investments

Hands‑on experience with electronics assembly, fault diagnosis, and test equipment (e.g. multimeter, oscilloscope)

Proficient in interpreting schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings

Strong attention to detail and process discipline in manufacturing environments

Clear communicator with the ability to document procedures and train technicians effectively

Able to collaborate across teams (engineering, operations, QA) to resolve production issues efficiently

Organised and proactive in identifying and implementing improvements to production processes

Flexibility in task structure – adaptive planning

Extensive knowledge on PCB and how they are manufactured

PCB rework and assembly experience

Good understanding of PCB layout, component types, circuit functionality, and common failure modes

Knowledge of test procedures, validation steps, and fault isolation methods for electronics

Understanding of BOM structures, engineering change control, and traceability requirements

Good working knowledge of coding languages – C/C++, Python, Power Query etc

Desirable: experience in low‑volume/high‑reliability industries such as aerospace, automotive, or robotics

Desirable:
Awareness of UAV subsystems (e.g. power distribution, flight control, telemetry) and their integration requirements

Desirable:
Familiarity with electronic manufacturing processes, soldering standards (e.g. IPC), and ESD precautions

Desirable:
