Work will be mostly conducted at their offices and workshops, with homeworking options available when projects allow. On offer is an excellent remunerations package including benefits. No company sponsorship is available. Due to the semi-rural location of their offices, applicants who have their own vehicle or who are willing to take public transport are encouraged.

Explore AI/ML solutions to tough physics problems in the Defence domain This research team is looking for an experienced engineer or post-doctoral scientist to help them explore the use of modern ML techniques for solving problems across defence related domains such as RF, edge AI and AI security. They work collaboratively within their team as well as with other teams working on similar problems spread across the country. Their work is highly experimental, and it is understood that not all projects succeed, even failed projects contain valuable insights. You will be building upon cutting-edge ML techniques such as transformers and reinforcement learning to create novel multi-modal solutions. Examples include sensor fusion systems, physics-informed neural networks for simulations, and multi-purpose autonomous robots. Projects will be defence focused but may include offensive capabilities. Please note, as projects are defence related, you will need to qualify for UK security clearance to be considered for this role. Requirements: PhD or equivalent professional experience in a field that demonstrates significant understanding of both computer science and advanced statistical or numerical methods Practical experience applying ML techniques to solve real-world problems Knowledgeable in conducting and publishing (as first author) high-quality research for academic journals Team leadership experience While not required, both a good understanding of RF physics and previous involvement in defence related research projects would be highly beneficial. This team has an academic and welcoming work environment where ideas are judged on merit and good work rewarded fairly. Due to the research heavy nature of projects, the team can often work from home and be in the office as little as one day each week. The office itself is located in central London very close to major public transport links making it an easy commute from either within London or the surrounding area. Initially this is an 18-month contract with the expectation of extending this as more funding is released. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.

Varied projects with high-performance C/C++ coding This leading tech company specialises in integrated software and hardware systems for high-speed data processing, cyber security and radio communications. They are looking for a lead software engineer to join their team to provide expert C and C++ knowledge as well as be a mentor and leader for other engineers. You will be working alongside talented software engineers as well as physicists, electronics engineers and hardware engineers. Projects will usually require a mix of talents, so cross-discipline communication is important, as is a willingness to continue learning outside your area of expertise. For example, it wouldn t be unheard of for you to be involved in developing a web-based GUI or even help with some embedded coding. You will need to demonstrate both industry experience and academic excellence. Requirements include: 1st or 2:1 in a numerate subject from a top (think Russell group) university supported by top marks at A Level Strong commercial experience in C and C++ around data processing or network security Good all-round software development skills and a keen appreciation for clear and efficient software design On offer alongside the salary is a strong set of benefits including an annual bonus scheme, subsidised gym membership and a generous company contribution pension scheme. Part-time work and condensed hours are possible while flexible working is standard. However, hybrid or remote working is not possible. Some of the work carried out is sensitive in nature and so requires successful candidates to pass a security audit. You will therefore need to be a British citizen to be considered.
