Wiring Technician

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 uncrewed 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 uncrewed 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 UAS technology.

In this role, you will manufacture, assemble and test electrical looms and harnesses for our unmanned vehicles, with a strong focus on precision crimping and soldering of connectors across a range of sizes. You will install electrical harnesses onto chassis bodies using wiring diagrams and support the electromechanical assembly of vehicle components and sub‑assemblies. The position also involves training and assisting colleagues as needed.

We are recruiting multiple candidates at various skill levels, from junior to senior, all of whom must have experience in the essential technical competencies listed.

Ability to hold Security Clearance – 5 years residence in the UK
