Role Summary
As a Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence Engineer in the Image Processing UK department, you will develop algorithms for next‑generation complex weapon systems, working within an international team with links to MBDA sites in France and Germany. Your role will involve research, development, and evaluation of imaging‑based algorithms that provide situational awareness and guide weapons with maximum precision.
Responsibilities
* Collaborate with engineers from diverse subject areas in a friendly and motivated team.
* Develop and maintain complex algorithms for weapon systems, gaining deep knowledge of design and functionality.
* Work on cutting‑edge technological innovations and refine solutions through research and experimentation.
* Attend national and international workshops and conferences to stay current on industry trends.
* Participate in development, leadership, and mentorship programmes.
Qualifications
* Preferably hold or be completing a PhD in a related field, or possess relevant post‑doctoral or industry experience.
* Degree with strong mathematical content (Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or similar).
* Keen curiosity about emerging technologies and their practical applications.
* Specific knowledge in one or more of the following: Image Processing Algorithms (segmentation, filtering, noise removal, compression, super‑resolution); Computer Vision Algorithms (tracking, optical flow, pose estimation); Deep Learning techniques (detection, classification, Siamese networks); Inverse problems / computational imaging (sparse coding, compressive sensing); Machine Learning (SVM, neural networks); Domain‑specific signal processing (spectral, RF, IR, SAR, STAP).
* Experience with Matlab/Simulink and Python, including PyTorch deep‑learning libraries.
Compensation & Benefits
* Salary up to £62,000, depending on experience.
* Company bonus up to £2,500, linked to performance.
* Pension with up to 14 % total contribution (employer + employee).
* Paid overtime opportunities and up to 15 additional flexi‑leave days.
* Flexible working arrangements and dynamic leave (time in lieu) options.
* Enhanced parental leave: up to 26 weeks maternity/adoption/ shared leave; paternity, neonatal, and fertility support.
* Annual leave: 25 days plus statutory holidays, with incremental days at 5, 10, and 15 years of service.
* Facilities: subsidised meals, free car parking, on‑site gym and discounted memberships.
* Access to financial education, mortgage advice, and private medical and dental insurance options.
* Eligibility for MBDA retirement savings and share incentive plans.
Work Environment
Hybrid working: 4‑5 days per week on‑site due to workload classification. Dynamic (hybrid) schedule and time‑in‑place options for suitable roles.
Security clearance requirement: British citizen or dual UK national with British citizenship; all successful candidates must undergo HMG Basic Personnel Security Standard checks (BPSS).
