FryerMiles are delighted to be partnering with a global defence business to assist with the recruitment of a Software Engineer to join their team based in Dorset.

  • Sonar signal processing algorithm implementation, integration, and optimization
  • Artificial Intelligence algorithm implementation, integration, and optimization
  • Pride in the development of good quality well thought-out code.
  • Peer reviewing the design and code of others and contributing to a community where learning and feedback is valued.
  • Integration, defect analysis and resolution to assist the verification teams with their work.
  • Progression of assigned stories and tasks in a product backlog using the Azure DevOps tool including estimation of remaining work.
  • Periodic verbal reporting of progress and contributing to sprint planning and retrospectives.

Required Experience:

  • Experience in C++ development
  • Experience in multi-threaded design
  • Experience in signal processing and/or AI/ML techniques
  • Experience of UML design techniques
  • Experience knowledge of the full software development lifecycle
  • Experience Machine Learning experience would be an advantage.
  • Experience of Python would be an advantage.
  • Experience of packaging tools and repositories such as Conan and Nexus would also be an advantage
  • Valid SC CLEARANCE / Eligible for SC Clearance

Personal Attributes:

  • Self-motivated, adaptable to change, proactive, diligent and with good inter-personal skills.
  • Ability to rapidly apply generic knowledge to new problems in new environments.

Travel

  • 5 Days onsite in Dorset

Benefits:

  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Medical and Dental Insurance
  • Pension scheme
  • Bonus scheme

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.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
