About SPAICE

SPAICE is building the autonomy operating system that empowers satellites and drones to navigate and interact with the world – regardless of the environment. From GPS-denied zones on Earth to the unexplored frontiers of space, our Spatial AI delivers unprecedented levels of autonomy, resilience, and adaptability.

At SPAICE, you’ll work on real missions alongside leading aerospace and defense contractors, shaping the future of space and autonomous systems. If you're looking for a place where your work has a real, tangible impact – SPAICE is that place.

About The Role

Satellites that detect & avoid threats on their own. Drones that collaborate in GPS‑denied fields. Spacecraft that rendezvous with tumbling targets in orbit. All of these feats demand robust scene understanding from multiple sensors. That’s where you come in.

As a Computer Vision Engineer (Multimodal Sensing) you’ll implement and refine perception algorithms that fuse cameras, LiDAR, radar, event sensors, and beyond. Working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with a top‑tier team of CV scientists, you’ll translate cutting‑edge research into flight‑ready code for space and defense missions.

What You Might Work On

  • Implement perception pipelines for situational awareness, collision detection & avoidance, formation flying, surveillance and terrain mapping across satellites and drones operating in GPS‑denied, dynamic environments.
  • Build the Perception stack of our Spatial AI architectures, fusing visual, inertial, and depth cues for robust, multi‑sensor scene understanding.
  • Integrate sensor fusion & neural representations to create dense onboard world models that run in real time on resource‑constrained hardware.
  • Deploy semantic scene understanding, visual place recognition, pose estimation, and monocular depth estimation on embedded or edge‑AI processors.
  • Collaborate with a top‑tier team of CV scientists and cross‑disciplinary engineers, delivering well‑tested, high‑performance code into flight processors, Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) and Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SIL) setups, and real missions.

What We Are Looking For

  • M.S. in Computer Vision/Robotics, or a related field plus.
  • 3+ of industry experience (or a PhD).
  • Expertise in multimodal perception & sensor fusion, neural representations, semantic scene understanding, SLAM / camera‑pose estimation, monocular depth estimation, visual place recognition.
  • Strong software engineering skills in C++ and Python, including performance‑critical CV/ML code on Linux or embedded platforms.
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver production‑quality, well‑tested code in collaborative, fast‑moving environments.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with GPU or edge‑AI acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT, Vulkan, or similar).
  • Experience deploying perception pipelines on resource‑constrained hardware.
  • Publications in multimodal sensing/neural representations/SLAM for robotics or autonomous navigation in journals and conferences (e.g. CVPR, ICRA, ICCV, NeurIPS).

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience and impact.
  • Equity options – you will join us at the ground floor and share in the upside.
  • Well‑being perks – access to premium gyms, climbing centers, and wellness programs.
  • Team retreats & offsites – recent adventures include a half‑marathon in Formentera and a Los Angeles retreat during Oscars weekend.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.
