London
Our client, a wireless research organisation, is growing its London-based 6G research team, focused on building the next generation of intelligent, AI-driven network systems. The group operates at the frontier of agentic AI, distributed systems, and future mobile network architectures, with direct influence on global standards.
This role is suited to an engineer who enjoys building tools and intelligent agents, not just theorising about them. The work centres on designing, implementing, and validating agentic AI components that operate within and across 6G network layers, with outputs targeting pre-standardisation and formal standards bodies.
As an Agentic AI Engineer, you will design and build AI agents, control loops, and tooling that explore how autonomous, learning-driven behaviour can be Embedded into future mobile networks.
The focus is on hands‑on engineering within a research environment: turning concepts into working systems, testing them in lab‑based deployments, and feeding the results into standards-relevant technical contributions.
- Design and implement agentic AI systems that interact with and control aspects of 6G network behaviour
- Build tools, frameworks, and proof‑of‑concept platforms to explore AI‑driven decision‑making in mobile networks
- Prototype and validate intelligent protocols and control mechanisms using Python‑based implementations
- Analyse emerging trends in agentic AI, autonomous systems, and intelligent networking
- Contribute to pre‑standardisation and standardisation activities (ETSI, IETF, 3GPP) through technical papers and proposals
- Collaborate with systems, protocol, and research engineers to translate ideas into testable implementations
- PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
or Master's degree with 3+ years of relevant engineering or R&D experience - Strong experience building software prototypes, tools, or frameworks (Python 3)
- Background in telecommunications, distributed systems, or networked platforms
- Proven ability to move from concept to working implementation
- Excellent communication skills and comfort explaining complex technical ideas clearly
- Hands‑on experience with AI agents, agentic workflows, or autonomous systems
- Experience with AI model training, inference, or decision‑making pipelines
- Interest in or exposure to modern protocol stacks (eg HTTP, QUIC, A2A, MCP)
- Understanding of systems‑level trade‑offs in large‑scale, distributed environments
- Interest in influencing how research transitions into real-world standards
- Deep‑tech R&D setting with long‑horizon research goals
- Engineering‑led approach to applied research and experimentation
- Direct exposure to standards‑driven technology development
- London‑based team with flexible hybrid working
