Role Description

The newly-formed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) group in North America develops innovative new technology to enable world-leading wireless communications capabilities for US Government applications. We are looking for talented, experienced DSP engineers with an interest in designing and implementing systems using advanced signal processing algorithms to create new capabilities in the areas of wireless communications, sensors, audio processing, and image processing systems.

In this role you will design and develop prototype systems that demonstrate novel capabilities for a diverse range of products. Whereas Cambridge Consultants has produced innovations linked below for commercial entities, our team has been spun out in order to provide this sort of advanced capability for US Government clients.

  • Ultra-reliable communications for satellites
  • IP block acceleration of Voice Activity Detection using custom in-house DSP cores
  • Map-based indoor navigation using sensor fusion
  • Next generation commercial radio receiver design
  • Communications system for a fleet of bots in a challenging indoor environment

You’ll engage with clients that are stretching the art of the possible by combining state-of-the-art signal processing theory with a practical approach to implementation on a wide variety of processing platforms.

What we offer

You’ll have the opportunity to steer your career along the path of your choice, whether you prefer meeting and talking with clients or leading teams on innovative projects. Our collaborative and supportive working environment allows our engineers to quickly develop their skills and knowledge in unfamiliar areas, enabling us to drive development of cutting-edge technologies at a rapid pace.

As a member of this new team, you will be involved in every stage of our technology development life cycle, from developing proof-of-concept demonstrations for initial sales leads to designing, implementing, and testing innovative new products. In addition to day-to-day project work you’ll also play a part in creating the Capgemini of tomorrow: contributing to new IP generation, influencing the direction or our DSP skillset development, and evolving our capabilities in groundbreaking new technologies.

What you’ll bring

  • A passion for signal processing with a desire to broaden your horizons in new and exciting areas
  • MS/BS with 7+ years of experience in a field related to digital signal processing (e.g., computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, etc.)
  • Good knowledge of signal processing theory and applications for communications systems
  • 7+ Years experience in FPGA design, verification, synthesis, and RTL coding/simulation
  • Experience with scripting and analysis tools such as MATLAB or Python
  • C, C++, or Rust programming and software engineering skills
  • Good testing habits: unit testing, system testing, regression testing, etc.…
  • Verbal and written communication skills to convey your designs and ideas

The following are not required, but experience in any of these areas would be advantageous

  • Experience in embedded real-time programming
  • Experience with RF or Audio test equipment
  • Experience in image, audio, and/or machine learning algorithm development and implementation
  • Exposure to relevant industry communications standards (3GPP, IEEE, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.)

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.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
