As a Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence Engineer, you will be an essential team member at an exciting time of growth and opportunity. The algorithms that you will research, develop and evaluate will form part of the next generation of complex weapon systems.

You will be an important member of a department that produces world-beating algorithms that use imaging sensors to provide situational awareness, and guide weapons to their target with maximum precision. We have a detailed understanding of the interaction between missile subsystems and have a direct influence on meaningful design decisions.

We are a firm supporter of equal opportunity for all, and are proud to be a diverse engineering team. Image Processing UK is an innovative, cohesive department where the contributions of each individual have real value. As part of our team you will benefit from an excellent working culture built on individual empowerment and mutual support.

• Preferably PhD qualified in a related area, either holding or completing the PhD, or relevant Post-Doctoral or Industry experience would be highly beneficial
• A degree with strong mathematical content e.g. Mathematics, Engineering (e.g. Aeronautical, Mechanical, etc), Physics, Computer Science, or similar
• A keen curiosity about cutting-edge technologies and their applications

Specific knowledge in any of the following areas is of benefit:

• Image Processing Algorithms: Segmentation, Filter Design, Noise Removal, Compression, Super Resolution
• Computer Vision Algorithms: Tracking, Optical Flow, Particle Filtering, Pose Estimation
• Deep Learning techniques: Detection, Classification, Tracking, Siamese Networks
• Inverse Problems / Computational Imaging: Sparse Coding, Compressive Sensing
• Machine Learning: Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks
• Domain Specific Signal Processing: Multi/Hyper-Spectral, RF, IR, SAR, STAP

The primary development environments used within the department are Matlab/Simulink and Python (including PyTorch Deep Learning libraries).

• Every day you will work in a friendly and motivated team
• You will play a key role in the development of our complex weapon systems, and gain in-depth knowledge of their design and functionality
• You will collaborate with other engineers from a broad range of subject areas
• You will be working on cutting-edge technological innovations
• You will have the opportunity to work within an international field that has strong links to MBDA sites in France and Germany that will provide the opportunity for European travel
• You will have the opportunity to attend workshops and conferences both nationally and internationally
• We invest in your success and have development, leadership and mentorship programmes available
