Cesiumastro

Engineering Manager

Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Full Time
At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

We are seeking a Engineering Manager who can direct and coordinate a “complete” product development team, all the way from design conception to product manufacture and test. This position is a highly technical leadership role responsible for delivering well-engineered high-quality products, on schedule and to specification. It provides both technical ownership and team leadership experience within a fast-growing aerospace and defence startup environment.

A key part of this role involves forming and maintaining strong technical links with other teams located in various worldwide offices within the Company, sharing and contributing to “best practice” design approaches, and instilling them within the local design team. As such, strong technical and non-technical communication skills are required.

In addition to people and process leadership, this role contributes hands-on technical expertise to critical designs, architecture reviews, and complex debug activities, ensuring products are scalable, manufacturable, testable, and robust at production volumes.
