Algorithm Engineer - #1714679

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.
