Job Title: Machine Learning Algorithm Developer                                                            Location: Bristol Pay Range/details: Up to circa £55,000 Contract Type: Permanent My client, who are the leading specialists across Europe in weapon systems have a new requirement for Machine Learning (ML) Algorithm Developers to join their rapidly expanding engineering teams due to exponential growth within the defence industry. If successful, you will join a team of intelligent systems, autonomous systems and command and control engineers. The team develops and evaluates algorithms spanning a range of domains from on-board, autonomous decision making, to off-board C2 algorithms. Algorithms are pivotal to the successful design of sophisticated guided weapon systems products. These algorithms are constantly developed throughout the lifecycle of the product and include research studies to investigate algorithms for future developments. Due to the nature of the projects, you MUST be able to obtain valid UK security clearance if you are successful in your application. Key Responsibilities – Machine Learning Algorithm Developer Technical development of specific algorithms or studies for key programmes Feasibility studies, algorithm design and trade-off studies, preparing trials, trials analysis and reporting, defining architecture, validating algorithms and models Technical assessments and investigations into a full range of issues and problems and prepare and develop solutions either solely or as a member of a project team Engaging with the algorithm users, understanding and responding to their needs and ensure that the algorithms are fit for purpose Qualifications & Experience Requirements – Machine Learning Algorithm Developer Degree/PhD level qualification in related area or a degree with mathematical content and programming skills Relevant experience (post-doctoral or industrial) in robotics, data fusion, tracking/estimation, pattern discovery & recognition, statistical inference, optimisation and machine/deep learning algorithms along with real-time implementation, and/or validation & verification is a strong advantage. Experience in Matlab, Simulink and/or Stateflow, Python including PyTorch, TensorFlow, Open AI-Gym/Universe or Model Based Design would be desirable. We encourage our Engineers to cultivate a broad and in-depth knowledge across a variety of fields and topics. However, specific knowledge or experience in any of these areas is of benefit: Robotics, guidance and autonomous decision making, e.g. Routing and motion/trajectory planning, optimisation, co-ordinated guidance and control, decision theory, MDPs/POMDPs, specialist systems, game theory, decision support systems, multi-agent systems Data fusion and state estimation/tracking algorithms e.g. Kalman Filtering, multiple-model tracking methods, particle filters, grid-based estimation methods, Multi-Object-Multi-Sensor Fusion, data-association, random finite sets, Bayesian belief networks, Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence Machine Learning for regression and pattern recognition/discovery problems e.g. Gaussian processes, latent variable methods, support vector machines, probabilistic/statistical models, neural networks, Bayesian inference, random-forests, novelty detection, clustering Deep Learning e.g. Deep reinforcement learning, Monte-Carlo tree search, deep regression/classification, deep embeddings, recurrent Networks, natural language processing Computer Vision algorithms e.g. Structure from motion, image Based navigation, SLAM, pose estimation/recovery What we can offer – Machine Learning Algorithm Developer Annual company bonus of up to £2,500 (based on company performance and will vary year to year) Pension of maximum total (employer and employee) contribution of up to 14% Annual salary review/increase Flexitime and Hybrid working Paid overtime for all business functions Up to 15 days flexi leave 25 days annual leave (plus holiday purchase) Fantastic site facilities, including subsidised meals, free car parking and more Excellent career progression and development opportunities For more information on this role, please contact Annabel Clifford on (phone number removed) or send a copy of your CV to Candidates who are currently a Machine Learning Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, Algorithm Engineer, Algorithm Developer may be interested in this position.
