Systems Engineer Salisbury | Hybrid | Up to £60,000 + bonus This role is for systems engineers who want to work where design, build, integration and flight all happen side by side. You’ll join a growing UAV manufacturer developing complex uncrewed aircraft platforms in a highly dynamic, fast-evolving sector. Unlike traditional OEM environments, this is a place where systems engineers stay close to the hardware and close to the outcome. Your focus will sit firmly on the right-hand side of the V: integration, testing, trials and subsystem development. The work is practical, collaborative and fast-paced, with frequent iteration and real-world feedback. What makes this role different • End-to-end product visibility — design → build → fly, • Real integration and test ownership, • Fast iteration, rapid prototyping, minimal bureaucracy, • Exposure across multiple subsystems and platforms, • A growing business where systems engineers influence outcomes Experience that fits well • Systems engineering experience focused on test & integration, • Electrical and/or mechanical systems background, • Comfort working hands-on with hardware, • Previous design experience welcome (but not essential), • Ability to operate in a fast-changing environment This role does not focus on requirements writing, it’s about making systems work (or breaking them!), proving them, and improving them. Location & security • Salisbury area, • Hybrid working (typically 3 days onsite, flexible), • Salary up to £60,000, • Bonus up to 15%, • Pension matched up to 6%, • Private medical & dental, • Flexible working hours
