Full job description

Description

LiveLink Aerospace is seeking a skilled and passionate UAV Design Engineer with 4 to 5 years of dedicated experience in the unmanned aerial vehicle field. In this role, you will own the lifecycle of our UAV systems - from initial concept and prototyping through to integration, validation, and low-volume production.

You will blend cutting-edge mechanical design with hands-on hardware integration, working in a fast-paced environment to build, test, and refine the next generation of aerospace technology.

Important Requirements:

Security Clearance: Due to the nature of our projects and the sensitive data we handle, candidates must be able to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance (SC). This typically requires having lived in the UK for the last 5 years and holding a valid passport.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical & Structural Design: Design high-performance UAV airframes, payload structures, and mechanical assemblies using Fusion 360. Develop detailed CAD models and production-ready technical drawings.
Component Specification: Select and specify optimal UAV components, including propulsion systems, motors, ESCs, batteries, telemetry modules, sensors, and flight controllers.
Rapid Prototyping: Design and rapidly iterate prototypes utilising 3D printing, sheet metal, laser CNC, and other advanced manufacturing methods to optimise performance and manufacturability.
Manufacturing & Documentation: Produce comprehensive assembly drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and detailed build instructions to ensure seamless knowledge transfer and traceability for production teams.
Systems Integration & Testing: Perform hands-on integration, wiring, and soldering of electronics. Configure, tune, and troubleshoot flight stacks running Betaflight and ArduCopter firmware.
Field Operations & Validation: Conduct field testing and flight validation. Debug UAV performance issues under real-world conditions, identifying root causes to drive iterative design improvements.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with RF and software engineers to ensure hardware accommodates system requirements, and collaborate with production teams to transition prototypes into scalable, low-volume manufacturing workflows.
Vendor Management: Coordinate with external suppliers and manufacturers for prototype fabrication and low-volume production runs.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Technical Design & Manufacturing:

Advanced proficiency in parametric CAD (Fusion 360) and technical drawing creation.
Deep understanding of UAV architecture, system integration, and weight/balance optimization.
Hands-on experience with additive manufacturing (3D printing), sheet metal design/fabrication, laser cutting, and CNC bending machinery.

Flight Systems & Testing:

Proven experience configuring and tuning ArduCopter and Betaflight flight stacks.
Excellent field troubleshooting, debugging, and data-logging analysis skills.
GVC (General Visual Line of Sight Certificate) certification for operating multirotor and fixed-wing UAV platforms is highly desirable.

Professional Attributes:

A proactive problem-solver who thrives in rapid development cycles.
Strong collaborative communication skills for working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Excellent organisational skills for managing BOMs, suppliers, and technical documentation.
