Our Culture

Powered by different perspectives

With our independent perspective and free-thinking ethos, we’ve always attracted the best and brightest minds in the fields of engineering, technology and innovation, including the pioneer of modern computer science, Alan Turing.

Closer to the national security mission

We understand the issues faced by the national security community and provide solutions based on innovation and expertise. We care about the technology and the mission, always going further to help deliver the result.

Hungry for challenge

We love being given a problem that appears to be unsolvable, and then finding a way. We have the drive to question and challenge ideas, coupled with the rigour, integrity and courage to think outside accepted norms.

“As an engineer myself, I’m committed to promoting engineering opportunities to others and inspiring the next generation to excel in this field.

This passion has led me to become a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) ambassador through our organisations scheme. I have also achieved professional registration with the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) with encouragement and support from my line manager.

As a woman in engineering, I appreciate the organisation’s efforts to improve gender equality in male-dominated professions and other areas of diversity and am an inclusion and diversity representative. While there is always room for improvement, I am proud to be part of this ongoing journey.”

Polly, Test Engineer

Our Location

We’re based at Hanslope Park near Milton Keynes, 40 minutes from London by train and in the heart of the Oxford-Cambridge arc – the UK’s growing research, innovation and technology hub. Our campus brings together creative spaces, labs, workshops and specialist manufacturing facilities to help us conceive, design and deliver the tools and technologies required for our national security.
