Overview

We are looking for a Technology Leader with a deep understanding of Radio Frequency Systems to join our team. Our company has a rich history in satellite and cellular communications, and we are now expanding our capabilities to include innovative new communications systems in the fields of Low Earth Orbit Satellites and High-Altitude Platform Systems. We want you to be part of this journey. Your will work with business developers to understand technology trends and market opportunities. You will also inspire your colleagues to develop technology breakthroughs that add real value for our customers.

What we can offer

You’re likely to have far more variety in your work here than in your current role: Cambridge Consultants have a wide range of clients across wireless, telecoms, audio, and semiconductor – from blue chips to start-ups. Some are looking to optimise their existing technologies, while others come with a vision to develop something entirely new and unexpected. We will encourage you to keep up with advances in technology and changes in the market, and to propose and investigate novel technologies that could enable new products for our current and future clients.

You won’t be working alone to reach these goals. We have a friendly and supportive culture and a passion for solving technical challenges.

Examples of projects we have worked on in the past are:

The world’s largest airborne phased-array antenna system

High-bandwidth internet connectivity for US business air-travel

Transparent antennas for 5G radio systems

The world’s highest-density 4G radio system for a fleet of warehouse robots

What you can bring

As a Technology Leader, you will have a proven track record of leadership and innovation in the field of RF systems and wireless communication. You will be enthusiastic about exploring new technologies and their potential benefits to our clients. You will be a confident communicator, able to articulate your ideas and inspire others to develop theirs.

You will work closely with business developers to understand market trends and clients’ needs. You will also take a lead role in the creation and development of new ground-breaking wireless products, from initial client discussion and problem definition through to product specification and successful delivery.

Aspiring candidates will have some of the following:

  • Extensive experience of specifying and designing RF systems and products
  • Knowledge of 3GPP communications standards
  • Antenna specification and design
  • Understanding of Digital Signal Processing and its applications in RF
  • A passion for understanding and developing new technologies
  • Enthusiasm for mentoring more junior engineers

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

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three 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.
