About Us

Industry Aerospace & Defence Flare Bright is leading the global race to achieve true aerial autonomy. We use extensive miniaturisation of electronics, highly efficient software, machine learning and digital twins of nanodrones to develop easy to use autonomous systems with a range of customer uses in the defence, industrial and humanitarian sectors. Flare Bright is a rapidly scaling and award winning small company, based near Oxford, UK. Flare Bright's vision is to use its unique Machine Learning Digital Twin capability to ensure the drone market is safe and has the best performance it can. The core team have taken 30 years of experience in the challenging environment of subsea autonomy, and are applying it to the air to improve flight safety, autonomous capability and mission efficiency, with a particular focus on wind measurement at low heights with high fidelity and GPS-free flight. We aim to be a distinguishing system that will be ‘fitted to fly’ on the global drone and aircraft fleet. We are achieving this through constant innovation, with the best people, in a supportive work environment, using our Machine Learning and Digital Twin ecosystem running on reliable, certified software to provide stunning, essential capabilities. As a drone company focused on software challenges we are insulated from most of the issues produced by COVID, and have rapidly grown during the UK lockdown period. We have funding on several UK Government projects and equity investment from leading Venture Capitalists and Angel investors. Flare Bright is currently working on a growing number of R&D contracts, leading along our roadmap to a mix of software and hardware products around 2024. The company is rapidly growing from 4 people in 2020, to 15 people now, with further rapid growth likely. Westcott Venture Park is a 650-acre business park, which has a vibrant community of over 80 companies in the tech, aerospace and space sectors, located very close to Oxford, Bicester, Aylesbury and Thame sandwiched between the M1 and M40. We work in defense as well as commercial and ‘blue light’ sectors, so you must be comfortable working within the defense industry, and be eligible to work in the UK. We have a preference for those who will be able to work on sensitive defense projects due to nationality (typically UK, NATO or Five Eyes). Due to the security classification on the work we do, we will undertake a routine Baseline Personnel Security Standard check on the successful applicant. This is a standard process which includes references and career history checks. If this sounds like something you are interested in, please apply with a CV (2 pages maximum) and cover letter and we’ll arrange a conversation with further information.
