- Collaborate closely with flight software, avionics, test, and operations engineers
- Help shape the architecture and technical direction of a growing ground software platform
What We’re Looking For
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on coding ability
- Experience in aerospace, aviation, drones, robotics, or another complex physical-systems environment
- Experience building distributed, networked, or hardware-integrated software systems
- Ability to design, test, and operate software with a high degree of reliability
- Strong systems thinking and comfort working across software and hardware boundaries
- U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance
For Senior candidates:
- Experience architecting or owning significant portions of a ground software system
- Direct experience integrating ground systems with flight software
- Proven ownership of complex software from design through operational deployment
- Ability to influence architecture and mentor other engineers
For Engineer II candidates:
- Professional experience in aerospace, robotics, distributed systems, or embedded-adjacent software
- Evidence of meaningful technical ownership and the ability to learn complex systems quickly
- Exposure to telemetry, command-and-control systems, networking, simulation, or hardware integration
Highly Desirable
- Experience with spacecraft ground systems or mission control software
- Rust experience
- C++ or Python experience
- Real-time telemetry, command systems, networking, or time-series data

D365 F&O Functional Consultant - Fully Remote - UK
Our client is a US headquartered industrial technology business with a strong environmental focus. They've grown significantly through acquisition and are now investing further in their internal Business Applications capability as part of an ongoing D365 Finance & Operations programme, one that's already been running for several years and has a clear runway ahead.
This is a hybrid functional and project leadership role. You won't be spending your days configuring the system, but you will own the delivery of ERP projects, enhancements and process improvements from end to end. That means running workshops, translating business requirements into workable solutions, and holding both internal stakeholders and the external implementation partner accountable for delivery. You'll be the client-side voice in the room and someone who can challenge assumptions and keep a project moving when things get complicated.
You'll work closely with Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Operations teams, so a good grip on how those functions run day to day is important and matters just as much as your D365 knowledge. There's plenty of testing, deployment and hypercare work. You'll need to be comfortable seeing a project through to go live and beyond, not just through the design phase.
What you'll bring:
- Hands on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, ideally 5+ years, alongside a broader ERP background across implementation, enhancement and support.
- A track record of leading functional workstreams or owning solution delivery within ERP projects, not just supporting them
- Solid working knowledge of manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, inventory or financial processes, gained either client side or through consulting
- Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and external implementation partners, including holding partners accountable and challenging their recommendations where needed
- Experience gathering and documenting business requirements, functional designs, process flows and test scripts
- Strong communication skills across both technical and non-technical audiences, including presenting to leadership
- A background in industrial, manufacturing or project-based environments would be an advantage, as would exposure to Agile delivery or Azure DevOps
