Make a Difference with AYES – Join Us as a Fuel System Engineer!
AYES, a multinational engineering and technology consultancy, is looking for an experienced Fuel System Engineer to join an exciting project within the Aerospace & Defence sector, based in Bristol, UK.
We operate globally across Automotive, Industrial Automation, Aerospace & Defence, Rail, Energy, Oil & Gas, Life Sciences and Telecommunications, supporting our clients throughout the entire product lifecycle — from concept and design through to development, validation and industrialisation.
For this opportunity, we are looking for an experienced engineer with a strong background in aerospace fuel systems, who is motivated by working on complex aircraft systems within a highly technical and international environment.
The Role
As a Fuel System Engineer, you will contribute to the development, integration and verification of fuel systems for aerospace and defence applications. You will work across a multidisciplinary engineering environment, collaborating closely with Systems, Mechanical, Design, Manufacturing and Verification & Validation teams. The role involves understanding system requirements, supporting the development and integration of fuel system components, and contributing to the technical resolution of complex engineering challenges throughout the product lifecycle.
You will have the opportunity to work on systems responsible for the storage, transfer and management of fuel within an aircraft, with a particular focus on system integration, performance, reliability and safety.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
