Job description

Job DescriptionEngineer the future of defence and security This team is motivated by saving lives in war affected regions and on the battlefield. They believe that by combining advanced technologies from different sectors they can fundamentally change the effectiveness of those we rely on to keep us safe. By providing better tools and systems that adapt to modern warfare they can help defend civilians and provide a deterrent to other aggressors. Their current products use advanced optics and electronic sensors combined with computer vision systems and adaptive AI to detect and track UAVs (drones). This ruggedised system is modular allowing it to be used under a variety of conditions and takes advantage of recent AI breakthroughs to learn and adapt as the nature of warfare changes. They have previously used the same approach to develop technologies for active camouflage and cyberwarfare. They are seeking graduate or junior software engineers to work across their product portfolio. There’s no specific set of skills, technologies or they require, instead they seek versatile candidates with strong knowledge of at least one programming . Areas you could be involved with include ML systems, signal processing and software defined radio. The platforms you work on will vary from the cloud down to small low-power electronics and anything in between.

Requirements:

• 1st or 2:1 in a STEM subject from a top university (Oxbridge or Russell Group) with strong knowledge of software development evidenced through project work (personal or academic), or commercial placements
• Eager to learn new technologies or as well as adjacent engineering ideas from electronics and physics
• A problem-solving mentality, able to understand issues even outside of programming and provide analysis and potential solutions

Due to the nature of the work, you must be a British to ensure eligibility for UK security clearance. You must also have a full driving licence. This company is looking for candidates to start as soon as possible, so you will need to have already completed your degree and be available to start work at short notice.
