A globally respected research and technology organisation is seeking a Senior Research Scientist to join its advanced data and decision science capability. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI, machine learning, and statistical signal processing—delivering real impact across domains including national defence, space, and critical infrastructure.

 

As part of a multi-disciplinary innovation team, you’ll contribute to the design of next-generation inference algorithms, apply AI/ML to time-series and sensor data, and help shape future technologies in areas such as distributed sensing, autonomy, radar, and RF systems. You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate with academic institutions and lead the development of internal IP and demonstrators.

 

What you'll be doing:

 

  • Leading AI/ML research projects from concept to prototype
  • Developing algorithms for sequential data and decision support
  • Collaborating across teams with specialisms in radar, sonar, NLP, CV, autonomy, LLMs, and more
  • Mentoring junior staff and publishing/patenting innovative research
  • Working directly with customers across defence, space, and security sectors

 

What we’re looking for:

  • PhD (or equivalent experience) in a relevant discipline
  • Deep knowledge of machine learning and statistical signal processing
  • Strong Python skills and familiarity with frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn
  • Experience working with time-series, sensor, or RF data
  • Track record of delivering innovative solutions in complex technical domains

 

Please note: Due to the nature of the work, candidates must be eligible for UK Security Clearance, which typically requires at least 5 years of continuous UK residency.

 

Package:

  • £60,000 - £75,000 base
  • 10% bonus
  • Pension
  • Medical cover
