Join a leading defence organisation developing cutting-edge algorithms for advanced Radio Frequency (RF) seeker systems. We're looking for an Algorithms Engineer with strong experience in MATLAB, data analysis, and RF systems to help shape the next generation of sensor technology.

You’ll be working across high-impact projects like Meteor and FC/ASW, contributing to the development of Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) and multi-mode seekers. This role involves end-to-end algorithm design, modelling, and performance analysis – with real scope for innovation using machine learning and AI methods.

Key Requirements:

  • Proven experience in algorithm development

  • Strong proficiency in MATLAB (Simulink is a bonus)

  • Understanding of RF systems and digital signal processing

  • Analytical mindset with data-led decision-making

  • Eligible for UK Security Clearance (British Citizen or Dual National)

    This is a hybrid role, typically requiring 4 days on-site per week, with a salary of £45,000 - £57,000 plus bonus, flexi-leave, and excellent pension and benefits.

    Please note that due to the nature of the client’s business, only candidates who currently hold full British Citizenship (without limitations) / Dual Nationality (inclusive of British Citizenship) will be considered.

    If you’re ready to apply your skills to real-world defence technology and work on some of the most advanced systems in the industry, we’d like to hear from you

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.
