Vision:To become the leading producer of low-cost precision interceptors for autonomous targets.

FPV drones are responsible for injuring or killing over 5,000 Ukrainians each month—more than any other weapon. Our client addresses this threat with a hand-launched missile designed to destroy short-range aerial targets. Compact enough to fit three systems in a tactical vest and affordable for all Ukrainian ground units, it will be the smallest and most cost-effective guided missile ever deployed in combat.

They aim to shift the course of the war in Ukraine, with plans to later equip NATO against drone threats.

They are seeking a Mechatronics/Electronics Engineer to join their founding team. You’ll lead the selection, integration, and optimization of electrical components and design custom PCBs to meet extreme size and performance constraints.

Our client offer a competitive salary, stock options, and the opportunity to see your work tested on the front lines. This is a meaningful, fast-paced, and urgent mission with a passionate team.

Responsibilities:

  • Find pragmatic ways to make high performance circutry fit in a constrained space
  • Build data collection tools for missile launch and flight
  • Design and bring up PCBs
  • Integrate sensors, processors, power systems, and actuators
  • Troubleshoot and iterate rapidly based on real-world testing
  • Collaborate with mechanical and software engineers to ensure system reliability

Required Qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience designing and debugging PCBs
  • Strong embedded systems and sensor integration skills
  • Knowledge of power management and compact circuit design
  • Ability to meet tight constraints and iterate quickly
  • Willingness to work from the UK

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Aerospace or computer vision experience
  • Knowledge of control systems
  • Willingness to work in Kyiv, Ukraine
  • Passion for Ukraine’s defense
  • Interest in rocketry or guided systems

Why Join?

  • Impact: Develop technology to protect lives
  • Rapid iteration: Test your electronics on a missile 200 meters from the workshop entrance
  • Ownership: Lead the electronics for an innovative product
  • Purpose: Work with a team delivering real-world solutions
  • Compensation: Competitive salary and stock options (0-2%)

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.

Quantexa Machine‑Learning Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Joining the Decision‑Intelligence Revolution

Money‑laundering rings, sanctioned entities, synthetic identities—complex risks hide in plain sight inside data. Quantexa, a London‑born scale‑up now valued at US $2.2 bn (Series F, August 2024), solves that problem with contextual decision‑intelligence (DI): graph analytics, entity resolution and machine learning stitched into a single platform. Banks, insurers, telecoms and governments from HSBC to HMRC use Quantexa to spot fraud, combat financial crime and optimise customer engagement. With the launch of Quantexa AI Studio in February 2025—bringing generative AI co‑pilots and large‑scale Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to the platform—the company is hiring at record pace. The Quantexa careers portal lists 450+ open roles worldwide, over 220 in the UK across data science, software engineering, ML Ops and client delivery. Whether you are a graduate data scientist fluent in Python, a Scala veteran who loves Spark or a solutions architect who can turn messy data into knowledge graphs, this guide explains how to land a Quantexa machine‑learning job in 2025.
