As the Military Business Development Manager, you'll capture defence opportunities, engage with UK military stakeholders, develop growth strategies, and articulate Hypersonica's value in hypersonic capabilities.

The Senior Quality Engineer will establish a Quality Management System for hypersonic hardware, manage nonconformance processes, and ensure supplier quality while collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams.

Lead the development of quality standards and systems for Hypersonica, ensuring high-quality manufacturing in complex environments. Drive xFMEA processes and traceability measures while supporting product development from a quality perspective.

Lead the supply chain capabilities for Hypersonica in the UK, focusing on procurement of complex aerospace hardware and establishing resilient supply networks.

The role focuses on bridging product development and manufacturing, optimizing designs for production, and ensuring efficient processes to accelerate time to market in aerospace and defense sectors.

The role involves leading systems architecture for hypersonic vehicles, ensuring integration across engineering disciplines, validating requirements, and mitigating system-level risks in high-speed flight.

The role focuses on managing assembly and joining processes, collaborating with engineering teams, and leading manufacturing operations for high-performance systems in a fast-paced environment.

Lead mechanical assembly, integration, and test (AIT) for hypersonic vehicles: develop assembly procedures from CAD/drawings, define tooling/fixtures, support hands‑on builds, ensure configuration control and mechanical readiness for testing, and collaborate across mechanical, systems, and electrical teams to resolve integration issues.

Perform electrical assembly, integration, and test (AIT) for hypersonic vehicles: develop wiring and integration procedures from schematics/CAD, define integration sequences, prepare tools/test equipment, support avionics and sensor installation, set up DAQ/test systems, perform integration testing and fault‑finding, and maintain build documentation with traceability.

Lead and build Hypersonica's UK quality function and QMS from zero to AS9100 certification. Own supplier, manufacturing, assembly, test, and production quality; establish controls, audits, MRB/CAPA processes, readiness gates, metrics, and supplier qualification. Act as senior quality authority during high-consequence decisions and grow a cross-functional quality team. Engage customers, auditors, and defence stakeholders to ensure traceability, verification evidence, and audit-ready systems.

Lead system-level RAMS activities including FMEA/FMECA, fault-tree analysis, failure investigations, and risk quantification. Translate reliability insights into design recommendations across avionics, GNC, hardware and software, drive design-for-reliability, and establish RAMS practices for mission-critical hypersonic systems throughout development, test, and operations.

Define and own the end-to-end manufacturing process for rocket motors, design efficient production flow and layout, ensure safety and regulatory compliance (COSHH, ITAR, COMAH), apply PFMEA/Control Plans/PPAP, run hands-on trials and troubleshooting on the shop floor, and partner with propulsion, quality and safety teams to scale production and continuously improve processes.

Translate UK military requirements into executable programme plans; support delivery of defence programmes, proposals and customer engagements; prepare briefs and decision papers; track risks, actions and dependencies; coordinate across business development, engineering, programmes and leadership; attend trials, demonstrations and workshops; travel regularly and take ownership of defined workstreams.
