Algorithm Engineer – Defence/Aerospace
Join a specialist team developing advanced algorithms at the core of next-generation Autonomous Systems, Guided Weapons, and ML-enabled defence technologies.
You’ll contribute to high-impact programmes across the full engineering lifecycle — from early-stage research and feasibility studies through to development, trials, and in-service enhancement. Focus areas include navigation, guidance, tracking, sensor/data fusion, and machine learning.
Key requirements:
* Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for algorithm development and simulation
* Degree or PhD in a technical discipline such as Aerospace Engineering, Control Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics
* Experience in one or more of:
* Autonomous decision-making and control systems
* Navigation, estimation, or tracking algorithms (e.g. Kalman filtering, SLAM)
* AI/ML, including real-time implementation and model validation
* Verification & validation of complex algorithms in mission-critical systems
What’s on offer:
* Hybrid/flexible working and multiple career pathways (technical or managerial)
* Cross-disciplinary collaboration on critical national defence programmes
* Exposure to complex systems: RF/IR seekers, inertial sensors, thrust vectoring, and more
Candidates must be eligible for UK SC (Security Check) clearance.
