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 aviation?
At Malloy Aeronautics, you'll play a key role in helping us develop innovative technology that's changing the way the world moves.
Who are we?
We're on a mission to revolutionise unmanned 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 aviation.
What are we looking for?
Responsible for supporting the manufacturing, assembly, and testing of electronic systems used in UAV platforms. Acts as the key link between design engineering and production, ensuring that electronic components and assemblies are built to specification, are testable, and meet quality and performance requirements. Works closely with technicians, design engineers, and supply chain teams to improve build processes, troubleshoot production issues, and ensure repeatability and reliability in the final product.
Ability to hold Security Clearance – 5 years residence in the UK
What You’ll Be Doing (but Not Limited To)
- Support the assembly and production of PCBAs, wiring looms, and electronic modules used across UAV systems
- Develop, document, and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), build instructions, and test guides
- Investigate and resolve build issues, non-conformances, or test failures in production batches
- Collaborate with electronics design engineers to improve DFM (Design for Manufacture) and DFT (Design for Test) practices
- Create and maintain wiring diagrams, test reports, and traceability documentation for regulatory and quality compliance
- Define and optimise production tooling, test rigs, and custom fixtures to streamline assembly processes
- Perform or support functional testing, continuity checks, and basic debugging of circuit assemblies
- Track build status, yield, and rework metrics to support production performance monitoring
- Contribute to the selection of production methods and equipment for new electronic designs
- Support continuous improvement in build quality, reliability, and efficiency across electronics production workflows
- Procure machinery for PCB development and manufacture – develop business cases to ensure full justification for capital investments
