Responsibilities include sensor selection, electronic and mechanical integration, signal integrity, vibration and EMI/EMC mitigation, embedded C/C++ drivers and firmware, calibration, telemetry analysis, and validation. The engineer will collaborate with flight-control software teams to support navigation and state-estimation requirements.

Integrate and validate ISR payloads for the AR5 aircraft, including EO/IR, multispectral, hyperspectral, SAR, maritime, SIGINT, and communications systems. Select sensors for mission profiles, translate customer needs into SWaP-C requirements, connect payloads with aircraft controls and the Ground Control Station, and conduct factory acceptance and flight testing. The role requires expertise in optics, RF, image processing, radar, and mission systems integration.

Own FPGA and programmable logic design for airborne gimbal payloads, including video pipelines, sensor interfaces, stabilization control, and mission-computing integration. Lead RTL design, verification, synthesis, timing closure, hardware bring-up, and production qualification. Review Altium schematics, define engineering standards, investigate hardware test results, and mentor engineers. The role requires extensive FPGA development experience, embedded processor integration, real-hardware debugging, and occasional national and international travel.

Provides project support across the Defence Delivery division, maintaining schedules, plans, reports, information management processes, and risk registers. Coordinates cross-functional teams and stakeholders, supports delivery managers, and contributes to strategy and operational effectiveness. The role involves frequent international travel, high-pressure operational support, and potential extended hours. Candidates must be eligible for UK SC clearance and authorized to work in the UK.

Integrate external and military-grade sensors into autonomous sensing platforms, develop sensor-fusion, tracking, and geolocation algorithms, and deliver production C++, Rust, and ROS2 components. Tune systems using real and synthetic data, define interfaces, validate integrations, and collaborate with mission execution, planning, and hardware teams. The role also requires AI coding assistant proficiency, technical documentation, and eligibility to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance.

Design, validate, and certify mixed-signal autopilot PCBs for avionics. Responsibilities include schematic and multilayer PCB layout, SI/PI and EMC/thermal analysis, component selection, board bring-up, sensor integration, hardware test campaigns (DO-160), producing DO-254 certification artefacts, fabrication/EMS coordination, and cross-disciplinary collaboration with firmware, mechanical, and production teams.

Owns risk and opportunity management across complex civil and defence programmes. Responsibilities include maintaining risk registers, applying scoring methodologies, facilitating cross-functional workshops, tracking mitigation actions, reporting to governance boards, coordinating regulatory, safety, technical, supply chain and commercial risks, and supporting integrated programme controls. The role requires defence or aerospace programme experience, familiarity with UAS/ISR and airworthiness frameworks, and the ability to engage senior stakeholders and external authorities.

Own manufacturing process definition and continuous improvement for UAS assembly, integration, and testing. Lead process transfer from Portugal to the UK, develop assembly sequences, production test procedures, fixtures, work instructions, and configuration controls. Resolve shop-floor integration issues, manage non-conformances, support NPI and production ramp-up, and collaborate across Product Engineering, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain.

Own and improve electronics manufacturing processes for unmanned aircraft production in the UK. Responsibilities include SMT, through-hole and harness process development; technology transfer; tooling and test equipment specification; PFMEAs, control plans and validation; root cause analysis; DFM feedback; controlled work instructions; and operator training. The role works primarily on the shop floor and partners with Product Engineering, Production, Quality and Supply Chain to industrialize prototype assemblies into repeatable volume production.

Drive end-to-end development and optimization of the AR3 platform, translating customer needs into feasible engineering solutions. Responsibilities include requirements analysis, product design changes, prototyping, testing, validation, production implementation, root cause analysis, and technical problem solving. Collaborate with Engineering, Design, Manufacturing, and Quality teams while acting as a technical reference and mentoring less experienced colleagues. The role requires autonomous, hands-on work across complex physical products in an on-site environment.

Develop and improve electronic systems for the AR3 UAV platform. Responsibilities include circuit and PCB design, prototyping, laboratory and field testing, validation, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and production implementation. The role collaborates with mechanical, software, manufacturing, and quality teams while considering manufacturability, reliability, and testing throughout product development.

Perform safety assessments and hazard mitigation from design through certification. Define safety requirements, conduct design reviews, prepare safety reports/cases, ensure airworthiness compliance, and embed safety in Agile development while staying current with UAS regulations and certification frameworks.

Own and prioritize the product integrity roadmap for a UAS platform. Define safety requirements and acceptance criteria, translate regulatory and airworthiness requirements into engineering backlog items, maintain safety management and assessment processes, coordinate with cross-functional teams and certification bodies, and report safety and certification metrics to leadership.

Design and evaluate RF/microwave hardware using EM simulations and prototypes (filters, RF PCB layout, PAs). Use RF instrumentation (spectrum analyzers, VNA, signal generators), prepare test plans/reports, run RF lab tests, and collaborate with hardware, FPGA, DSP, and software teams. Support automated test development, documentation, and requirements analysis.

Apply mathematics, electromagnetism, and DSP to validate and improve SAR/radar behavior; develop and maintain C/C++/Python software; support TX/RX lab testing and flight test campaigns; coordinate test readiness and documentation; collaborate with software, hardware, embedded, PS, and RF engineers; communicate progress and blockers.

Serve as the Scrum Master to remove blockers, protect team focus, facilitate valuable Scrum ceremonies, coach agile mindset, shield teams from interruptions, and collaborate with Product Owner to maintain a healthy backlog and drive delivery.

Lead business development and customer engagement across the UK, Middle East and Africa air domain. Own RAF relationships, shape opportunities from engagement to contract, advise market leads on air doctrine, plan and execute campaign strategies, support bids and coordinate cross-functional teams to align Tekever solutions with air customer requirements.

Enable engineers to generate certified AR5 documentation using internal LLM tools. Act as human-in-the-loop to validate AI output for technical accuracy and aerospace/defence certification compliance.
