Job Description:

Are you a Systems Engineer looking for Part Time Work?? Then look no Further! Leonardo recognise that Work Life Balance is extremely important and full time roles do not suit everyone's routine. Therefore we are actively looking for Systems Engineers of all experience levels to join us on Part time contracts, which can be tailored to suit your specific needs. These roles are available across our sites in Southampton, Basildon and Bristol (in some areas we can be flexible with locations and offer hybrid working).

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to utilise and develop your current skills within an industry leading technology company. Working on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products… Not to mention, we offer an award winning package.

About the Role

Our Systems Engineers span across range of activities that help pull together all the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system. As a Systems Engineer, you will bridge the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.

We are recruiting for a number of roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based upon your skills and foundation knowledge, we will assess where your knowledge and skills would best fit and discuss the options with you.

Typical work you might be involved in:

Contribute to an early concept study investigating the application of new technology on future platforms Engage with stakeholders to define requirements for a new system Design and integrate new functionality into an existing sub-system in Simulink Collaborate with other engineers to design and prototype a detailed model of a system to understand observed simulated performance Design and prototype algorithms in Matlab, taking into account limitations and constraints of the target hardware Investigate the cause of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities, using real trials data

Projects and area’s we work in range for applications within Naval, Land and Air. Technology incudes;

Comms and Force Protection Communications and training systems Communications and messaging systems Future Cruise Air System - Tempest Special Projects Mission Systems Electronic Warfare and Vetronics Mission Systems – Counter Unmanned Air Systems Sensors Precision Guidance working on Seeker and tracking algorithms EO/IR systems

Dependent on experience, you may lead technical activities and initiatives, or you may mentor and coach other engineers.

About You

Proven experience as a Systems Engineer within a working environment or advanced academic research experience is preferable.

We are not expecting you to have deep theoretical knowledge of engineering, what we are looking for are systems engineers with applied engineering experience that we can build upon through training, team working and mentoring.

We are particularly interested in speaking to you if you have experience in any of the following areas;

Systems Generalists Problem definition Systems Architecture Synthetic Environments Performance Modelling Verification and Validation System Of Systems

Domain specialisms we are very interested in include:

Digital signal processing RF systems Electro-optic systems Medical imaging systems, image processing, image / object classification / identification Computer vision image processing (e.g. segmentation, clustering) Multi-sensor data fusion and tracking Real time data simulation/generation

All successful applicants must be eligible for full security clearance and access to UK-caveated and ITAR controlled information. For more information and guidance, please visit:

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
