small-satellite systems · Portsmouth
The interesting work is here — tight-tolerance parts, modern controls, and prove-outs they trust you to run.
AIT and systems engineering heavy, UKSV clearance a standard requirement.
What matters to you
Aerospace-grade tolerances, not repeat mild-steel brackets. If you've been bored setting the same job for two years, this is the cure.
Shops like this are where setters become programmers and 3-axis hands get 5-axis hours — the difference between £38k and £48k is learned here, on the clock.
Days-based patterns with honest overtime — not a nights rota dressed up in the advert.
Why now
Companies House filing shows a new funding round closed this month — AIT and systems engineering headcount typically follows within a quarter — they're building, not maintaining.
The honest bit
It's a working machine shop, not a showroom — expect real production pressure and first-article paperwork done properly.
Open right now
