Lunchtime catering on site About Us The mission of Cambridge Aerospace is to eliminate the risk of existential war in Europe. That risk comes from the air: low-cost drones and cruise missiles now manufactured in colossal volumes by our adversaries, ballistic missiles capable of ending the world as we know it, and a new generation of hypersonic weapons that evade every existing defence. We are building low-cost interceptors that defeat these threats, and the surveillance systems needed to detect and target them, at a cost taxpayers can afford, at the pace the threat demands and with sovereign supply chains that assure delivery. We have immense backing from some of the world's leading venture funds. We are one of the fastest-growing defence technology companies in history, and we are hiring talented people who want to develop their skills while contributing to an important mission. If you are ambitious, eager to learn, willing to work hard and excited by the opportunity to
build technology that addresses one of the defining challenges of our time, now is the time to join us. Our Commitment to Inclusion We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you are excited about this role but do not meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We are interested in your practical ability, potential and willingness to learn, not whether you have followed a traditional academic career path. #J-18808-Ljbffr
