Design, development and delivery of innovative small satellite, Earth observation, scientific and space mission technologies
Langham Recruitment has supported SSTL across a broad range of permanent and contract hiring requirements, helping identify and engage highly specialised engineering, programme, commercial and manufacturing professionals within the space and satellite technology sector.
Our involvement has spanned multiple disciplines, reflecting the complexity and multidisciplinary nature of modern satellite development programmes. Through our network across aerospace, defence, electronics, optical systems and advanced manufacturing markets, we have supported recruitment activity across a variety of technical and leadership positions.
One particularly notable area of support has been within optical and imaging technologies, a highly specialised field that plays a critical role in Earth observation, scientific missions and satellite payload development.
Langham has engaged with recruitment projects involving Optical Engineers and Imager Electronics Engineers, supporting the identification of candidates with experience in areas such as:
These roles require a rare blend of expertise, often combining space-sector experience with knowledge acquired within defence, photonics, scientific instrumentation and advanced imaging environments. Our sector knowledge and targeted search approach have enabled us to access candidate pools that are often difficult to reach through conventional recruitment methods.
