An exciting opportunity has arisen for an 3GPP Standards Expert to join a leading global technology company at their European R&D centre based in Surrey. The organisation specialises in cutting-edge innovations across telecommunications, home appliances, and digital products.

The successful 3GPP Standards Expert, in Surrey, will be working as a member of the Standards & Spectrum Group, the job's main purpose is to provide expert support to their standards strategies and telecoms technology development as required in the 3GPP Core Networks and Terminals (CT) or alternatively the 3GPP Service and System Aspects (SA) area.

The position offers a hybrid working policy (3 days in the office, 2 days from home) and the chance to work on transformative solutions in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Helping lead standards activities in CT1 or SA2 to increase the profile and technical contribution of my client to 3GPP and standards through positive, high-quality, consensus-building contribution to the specifications and work of the 3GPP CT1 or SA2 Working Group.
  • Leading the research in system architecture and services of 5G and 6G and/or User Equipment - Core Network protocols, as related to ongoing and upcoming 3GPP Releases, with focus on input to standards.
  • Finding and breaking into new key technologies. This would include proposals for future product development, and the potential to lead new innovation in standards.
  • Supporting their Standards activities by drafting technology appropriate patents and working to secure the intellectual property into 3GPP and other relevant standards.
  • Working with colleagues from other specification working groups and in particular SRUK colleagues in SA2, SA1, CT1, and RAN2, as well as SA2 and CT1 colleagues across various sites, to maximise synergy between activities and to ensure a cohesive standards strategy across 3GPP.

The ideal 3GPP Standards Expert, Surrey, will have the following skills/experience:

  • A Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, Natural Science, and Mathematics, or any other related discipline.
  • Extensive experience in telecommunications research/standardisation/development, with considerable experience in the relevant working group (3GPP SA2 or 3GPP CT1, and/or related working groups e.G. SA3, CT4) and preferably with experience working as an active participant in standards, preferably as a delegate in SA2 or CT1 (or a related Working Group e.G. SA3, CT4).
  • An appreciation of the standardisation processes is highly desirable (especially any experience with 3GPP, NGMN, GSMA). An understanding of the three-stage standardization method described in ITU T Recommendation I.130 would be an advantage.
  • A thorough understanding of the 3GPP mobile telecommunications system, with expert knowledge of SA technologies in systems such as: 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G.
  • Knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), or AI/ML, and its application to 3GPP technologies, is appreciated.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation renowned for its culture of innovation and commitment to excellence. The role offers a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and significant opportunities for professional growth.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
