ML Research Consultant

Job: Machine Learning Research Consultant (Experienced)

Location: Cambridge, UK (on-site)
Contract: Permanent, Full-time

We're recruiting on behalf of a UK-based technology consultancy delivering advanced AI and machine learning solutions to complex, real-world problems in defence and security.

The Role

You'll work within multi-disciplinary teams of scientists and engineers to research, design and deploy cutting-edge machine learning systems. Projects span early-stage research through to working prototypes, covering the full ML lifecycle - from data preparation and rapid prototyping to model development, evaluation and deployment.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys tackling novel, technically challenging problems and applying ML in real-world or constrained environments.

About You

• Degree (2:1 or above) in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Maths or similar
• Strong Python skills
• Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow and/or JAX
• Exposure to applying ML in novel domains or resource-constrained settings
• Familiarity with a range of ML techniques (e.g. CV, generative models, signal/audio processing)
• GPU/CUDA experience beneficial

Postgraduate research or equivalent R&D experience is desirable. Consultancy or client-facing experience is a plus.

Why Apply?

• Work on impactful, real-world ML problems
• Flat, collaborative culture with real autonomy
• Strong benefits package including pension, private medical, generous leave and on-site facilities
• Part of an employee-owned technology group
