Project Engineer

This is a high-impact, versatile role at the center of our engineering ecosystem, acting as a vital link between custom customer needs and our core technical delivery. You will serve as the technical bridge for bespoke integrations, ensuring one-off projects for elite clients like the Navy and Air Force are delivered with precision and speed. You will deliver singular internal and customer projects from initial scoping through to successful integration, testing, and final handover, and lead the integration of advanced RF receivers into diverse payloads for manned and unmanned platforms. You will also design and implement robust power distribution solutions, act as the primary technical point of contact for customers, and provide surge engineering support during peak prototype and validation phases.

Responsibilities

• Bespoke Project Delivery: Deliver singular internal and customer projects from initial scoping through to successful integration, testing, and final handover.
• Platform Integration: Lead the integration of advanced RF receivers into diverse payloads for manned and unmanned platforms, including drones and specialised vehicles.
• Power Systems Design: Design and implement robust, safe power distribution solutions for RF and Direction Finding (DF) equipment to optimise performance in the field.
• Technical Consultation: Act as the primary technical point of contact for customers, performing RF surveys and translating complex requirements into functional engineering realities.
• Surge Engineering Support: Provide targeted support to systems engineering pods during peak prototype and validation phases to ensure project momentum.
• Technical Documentation: Produce fit-for-purpose integration notes and compliance evidence to ensure every bespoke solution is documented for future reuse and support.

Requirements

• Experience: Proven background in RF system integration within the telecommunications, aerospace, or defence sectors, specifically with manned or unmanned systems.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in RF system testing, power distribution design, and the ability to troubleshoot complex electronics and RF components.
• Clearance & Compliance: You must hold or be eligible for UK SC Clearance (UK Eyes Only) due to the nature of our work with government and military stakeholders.
• Design Capability: Hands-on experience with prototyping equipment and the ability to design for manufacture; familiarity with CAD software like SolidWorks is a significant advantage.
• Mindset: A bright, proactive engineer who is eager to step up, work across interdisciplinary teams, and continuously broaden their technical skill set.

Benefits

• Financial & Future Security: Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and a two-week annual holiday bonus.
• Retirement & Investment: Attractive defined contribution pension and employee stock purchase plan.
• Health & Wellness: Private medical insurance, life assurance, and comprehensive wellbeing support via an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
• Time Off & Flexibility: 25 days of holiday (plus bank holidays) and flexible working options to support your work-life balance.
• Family & Community: Enhanced maternity/paternity pay, support for volunteering days, and a commitment to carbon-neutral initiatives and goals.
