Role: Machine Learning EngineerLocation: CheltenhamSalary: £90,000Clearance Required: eDVOne of our key clients within the UK defence sector is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to support the expansion of their applied AI and data science capability. Working on mission-critical systems where performance, reliability, and interpretability are essential. You will contribute to the development of advanced machine learning models that support a broad spectrum of defence applications, including real-time object detection, multi-sensor data fusion, anomaly detection in complex systems, and predictive analytics for operational readiness.
The role sits within a multidisciplinary engineering team, collaborating closely with software developers, data scientists, and subject matter experts to design, train, validate, and deploy ML solutions on secure, often resource-constrained platforms. A deep understanding of ML pipelines, data preprocessing, model optimisation, and deployment into production.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Designing and implementing robust ML models suited to real-time or mission-critical defence environments
2. Processing and analysing complex datasets, including geospatial, signals, or operational intelligence data
3. Collaborating closely with software engineers, data scientists, and defence stakeholders to ensure scalable and secure system integration
4. Conducting rigorous testing, validation,...
