Join a leading defence organisation developing cutting-edge algorithms for advanced Radio Frequency (RF) seeker systems. We're looking for an Algorithms Engineer with strong experience in MATLAB, data analysis, and RF systems to help shape the next generation of sensor technology.
You’ll be working across high-impact projects like Meteor and FC/ASW, contributing to the development of Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) and multi-mode seekers. This role involves end-to-end algorithm design, modelling, and performance analysis – with real scope for innovation using machine learning and AI methods.
Key Requirements:

  • Proven experience in algorithm development
  • Strong proficiency in MATLAB (Simulink is a bonus)
  • Understanding of RF systems and digital signal processing
  • Analytical mindset with data-led decision-making
  • Eligible for UK Security Clearance (British Citizen or Dual National)
    This is a hybrid role, typically requiring 4 days on-site per week, with a salary of £45,000 - £57,000 plus bonus, flexi-leave, and excellent pension and benefits.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.
