We are looking for a technology leader to oversee our signal processing design and integration project teams and communicate the value of our skills and processes both internally and externally. We desire thought leaders and technology champions with a range of technical expertise who can debate high level project decisions based on merit and be ready to take on the challenges our clients throw at us.

What we can offer

As part of the Signal Processing Group, you will get to work with a range of clients across wireless, telecoms, audio, and semiconductor – from blue chips to start-ups. Some looking to optimise their existing technologies, and some with a vision for a new or bespoke solution. For some projects we will develop a subsystem for wider integration, other times we are the design authority for the entire system and its delivery.

This is an opportunity to join a creative and collaborative team with a friendly and supportive culture and a passion for solving technical challenges.

No week working with us is the same. Examples of the variety of work you will undertake include:

  • Architecting and implementing software for high performance hardware, from design through to verification and optimisation
  • Contributing to the system design of products that span multiple domains
  • Contributing to IP development to expand and promote group capabilities
  • Providing leadership to engineering teams, nurturing and enabling others to develop their own knowledge and expertise to scale our technical capabilities across the company

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

  • 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
  • Development of the communication system for a fleet of moving bots in a challenging indoor environment

What you can bring

As a technology leader you will have the opportunity to encourage strategic growth into new areas, and drive innovation forward. As part of this we need someone who has the vision to architect complex multi-disciplinary projects, partner with clients to deliver the right solution according to their needs, and encourage collaboration across the teams and disciplines within the company to meet project timescales.

You will be expected to make contributions to existing sales campaigns in the Wireless and Digital Services Division (including Telecoms and Mobile, Semiconductor, and Aerospace), and to assist in the preparation of project proposals and statements of work in collaboration with our experienced team of Project Managers.

Aspiring candidates will have some of the following:

  • Significant practical experience of wireless systems engineering and signal processing understanding
  • Ability to define and deliver complex, high-value, innovative projects
  • A strong desire to learn, investigate, and develop new technologies
  • Technical aptitude, intuition, and skills in communicating both technical and non-technical concepts
  • Proven ability to influence at senior management level and to match business needs with technology solutions
  • Ability to co-ordinate and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams

Benefits

  • Competitive salary reviewed annually
  • Company profit share
  • Generous pension
  • Hybrid working model
  • Flexible working hours and location
  • 25 days annual leave plus public holidays, with flexibility to carry over / borrow
  • Comprehensive insurance - Life, disability, private healthcare and travel insurance (business & leisure)
  • Enhanced family leave benefit of 13 weeks full-pay parental leave for those that meet qualifying criteria
  • Career development and training opportunities
  • Social committee
  • Discounted train season tickets, through Travel Plan Plus
  • If travelling to Cambridge by train; Free shuttle service to/from Cambridge North train station, through Cambridge Science Park
  • Whilst in the office; Free canteen - breakfast, lunch & refreshments
  • A comprehensive relocation package is available, if applicable

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.

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.
