Background

CSGUoL and IntelliCasa are recruiting for a candidate to develop a system called LISTENER to enhance IoT security and reliability within residential and commercial automation control systems.


Working virtually with attendance at CSGUoL and IntelliCasa’s offices in London, the candidate will have the opportunity to apply their academic and business knowledge to this commercial project.


IntelliCasa designs and installs smart home and commercial automation systems. The KTP will support IntelliCasa to develop an AI-driven, hardware-based system that embeds threat detection/prevention directly into IoT network



Responsibilities

The candidate will configure IoT device hardware configuration, conduct Hardware/Software requirement analysis, embed cybersecurity, develop software development, and embed Data Science and Machine Learning capabilities.


Specifically, the candidate will collect network and device health data, extract relevant features from data to train ML models, configure IoT devices, train/test verifiably robust ML models using formal methods, integrate ML and AI models into LISTENER, integrate software-hardware for intrusion/anomaly detection and prevention, and minimise false alarms to guarantee IoT devices are not interrupted unnecessarily.



Person Specification

We are looking for a candidate with a BSc and MSc in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering, with focus on cyber security or AI/data science. Knowledge of AI and ML models, Data Science and security engineering is essential, as is working with IoT hardware.


The ideal candidate will have knowledge of software for mobile app development, and of smart home systems, IT/AV systems and home security systems, as well as experience of working within the secure software design sector.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
