Salary: Competitive depending on experience Location: 2-3 days on-site at our Harwell office with travel to client site when required Contract type: Full-timepermanent - 37.5 hours A note from the Founders Oxford Dynamics is at an inflection point. We operate in some of the most complex and high stakes environments in the world - defence, national security, AI and robotics. The decisions we make now will define not just how fast we grow, but who we become. You will work closely with all the team. You will be trusted with judgment calls. You will influence the business. And you will see the impact of your work every day in the work we do. If you are excited by ownership, pace and purpose - and by building something that genuinely matters - we would love to hear from you. Who We Are Founded in 2020, Oxford Dynamics (OD) is a fast growing UK deep tech company developing AI and robotic systems designed to operate in mission critical environments. Our flagship AVIS (A Very Intelligent System) AI framework fuses multi modal data - text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds - enabling operators to interrogate complex information at speed and make better decisions under pressure. Our STRIDER robotic platform performs autonomous tasks in hazardous environments, protecting people while extending operational reach. Our ambition is simple but demanding: to converge AI and robotics so machines can sense, understand and act in complex, real world environments. We work with defence and security organisations internationally to help protect nations, infrastructure and lives. What you will be doing here/ why this role matters Oxford Dynamics is a small team who rely on a collaborative and positive approach and so the right attitude for this role is equally as important as experience. We are at an important stage and time in our growth, and as aSenior AI Generative Robotics Engineer you will be an essential part of our success. You'll work at thecutting edge of agentic and generative AI, building systems that move beyond lab demos and intoreal world deployment at pace. At Oxford Dynamics, you'll have the freedom to experiment in a fast moving environment, the responsibility to deliver, and the opportunity to shape howmulti agent AI systems operate in complex, constrained, and high trust environments. If you're excited byagent orchestration, VLLMs, and deploying AI where it matters, this role is built for you! Role Summary We're hiring a Test & AI Evaluation Lead to own how Oxford Dynamics validates its AI driven, mission critical systems - from multi agent orchestration and LLM outputs through to cloud infrastructure and real time user facing applications. You'll design and lead test approaches where correctness, resilience, and security matter as much as feature velocity. Working embedded with AI, Backend, Frontend, and DevOps, you'll shape how we validate agent behaviours, data pipelines, and end to end operational workflows - from research prototypes through to production deployments for Defence and Security customers. Quality is built in from day one, not inspected at the end. Key Responsibilities Define and own the end to end test strategy across AI, backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers. Establish testing standards appropriate for agentic AI systems, including non deterministic behaviour and probabilistic outputs. Ensure testing aligns with mission critical, safety conscious, and security first delivery expectations. Act as the primary quality authority across projects, advising engineering and product leadership on risk and readiness. AI & Data Focused Testing Design approaches for testing multi agent workflows, including orchestration logic, memory/state handling, and tool integrations. Define validation strategies for LLM outputs, including groundedness, hallucination detection, task success rates, and regression testing. Work with AI Engineers to embed evaluation metrics and pass/fail thresholds into pipelines.

You'll design and lead test approaches where correctness, resilience, and security matter as much as feature velocity. Working embedded with AI, Backend, Frontend, and DevOps, you'll shape how we validate agent behaviours, data pipelines, and end to end operational workflows - from research prototypes through to production deployments for Defence and Security customers. Quality is built in from day one, not inspected at the end. Key Responsibilities Define and own the end to end test strategy across AI, backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers. Establish testing standards appropriate for agentic AI systems, including non deterministic behaviour and probabilistic outputs. Ensure testing aligns with mission critical, safety conscious, and security first delivery expectations.

Full time
Senior Systems Engineer - Ultrasound Technology Newton Colmore is working with a highly regarded medical technology company in Cambridge, assisting them with their search for a Systems Engineer to work on their latest surgical ultrasound innovation. The Challenge - Where physics meets surgery; The organisation works on some of the most technically demanding problems in medical technology - intelligent surgical instruments, embedded sensing systems, robotic-assisted surgery, and real-time intraoperative imaging. Ultrasound sits at the intersection of all of it. You won't be applying existing solutions, you will be inventing new ones. Projects run from early feasibility through hardware prototyping, firmware, signal processing algorithms, and regulatory sign-off. You will own the ultrasound thread end-to-end in this newly created role. What you will be working on; Electronics and transducer architecture. Lead design and evaluation of ultrasound transducers and the high-speed analogue/digital front-end electronics that drive them - including transmit beamforming, low-noise receive chains, and high-bandwidth ADC integration. Signal processing and algorithm development Develop real-time signal processing pipelines - from raw RF data through envelope detection, beamforming, and image reconstruction - with strong software implementation alongside the DSP theory. Embedded software and system integration Write firmware and embedded software to control ultrasound hardware, manage data acquisition, and interface with wider surgical system architectures. Comfort across C/C++, Python, and MATLAB is expected.
