Introduction

We develop innovative products at the intersection of high-performance real-time computing and signal processing. We’re looking for a 12-month DSP & Wireless Communications Intern to join our collaborative team.

Successful candidates can join us between May- September 2026.

There is no deadline for this role, as we recruit on a rolling basis. Once the position is filled, we will close the advert. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Are you...

  • a talented technologist – with a proactive attitude and a real thirst for building exciting new things and making technology work?
  • a smart developer – who is eager to engage with state-of-the-art Signal Processing algorithms and dive deep into their technical foundations?
  • a keen learner – seizing the opportunity to push at the bounds of your understanding and explore new and exciting areas?

We welcome applications from students currently pursuing a relevant academic degree or research experience, who are keen to gain hands on experience in the industry.

What we can offer you

You will be part of the Signal Processing Department within the Wireless and Digital Services Division. Examples of projects we have worked on in the past are:

  • ultra-reliable communications for satellites,
  • IP block acceleration of Voice Activity Detection
  • development of the communication system for a fleet of moving bots in a challenging indoor environment.

Projects can start off as small, rapid studies and progress towards large multi-disciplinary systems which involve 50 engineers and more. Our work engages with a broad range of industries and applications, but the underlying premise is of developing innovative and bespoke systems that cannot be bought off the shelf.

The range of projects on which we work each come with their own distinct set of challenges. We can offer the opportunity to get involved with everything from first-principles thinking and research through to the design, development and deployment of live systems, providing you with all of the support, mentoring and training you need. You will work as part of a team to achieve high-quality deliveries, compliant with the client’s requirements.

You will have the opportunity to play a real part in creating the Cambridge Consultants of tomorrow, working alongside a supportive team, developing our capabilities, and driving the advancement of technology into the unknown.

What you can bring

We’re looking for applicants who are currently pursuing a degree in a relevant field such as Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics, and has:

  • Demonstrable software skills and experience in programming
  • Strong mathematical aptitude and intuition
  • A passion for engineering and technology
  • An imaginative and inquisitive mind and eagerness to learn new skills

In addition, any experience of the following would be advantageous, but certainly not necessary:

  • Signal processing techniques and transforms (digital filters, Fourier analysis, z-transforms, matrix transforms etc.)
  • Data analysis/modelling using languages such as Python or MATLAB
  • C or other low-level language
  • Working with embedded hardware and tool chains.

Please ensure your CV includes your A Level (or equivalent) subjects and grades, as well as any relevant university modules.

Covering statements are advantageous though by no means a necessity.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
