<h2><strong>The Role  </strong></h2> <p>We have an opportunity for a Principal Engineer in our AI & Algorithms department, working with a particular focus on our defence and security clients.
 You’ll join a team of talented engineers and scientists designing, building and testing intelligent systems that require cutting edge algorithms.
</p> <p>As one of the senior technical voices in the team, you’ll be architecting the<u> </u>algorithmic approach on our projects, setting the technical bar for others, and helping shape the work we deliver.
 As well as hands-on engineering, you’ll spend time with clients, using your expertise to win new projects as well as deliver them.
 You’ll work in multidisciplinary teams that use our labs and computing resources to enable us to deliver ambitious projects.
</p> <p>Much of our defence and security work requires security clearance, so we ask for it up front.
You won’t work exclusively in that sector, but a genuine interest in it matters to us.
 </p> <p>We offer a flexible approach to hybrid working, although some of the projects you will be working on will require full-time working in the office.
</p> <h2><strong>What you’ll be doing  </strong></h2> <ul> <li>Applying data-driven software development in machine learning/AI, applied statistics, and sensor processing, alongside mathematical computing techniques such as digital signal processing, simulation, and numerical optimisation.
 </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Acting as technical lead and architect on our larger, more complex projects, owning the technical solution and the value it delivers to the client.
 </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Setting technical direction and acting as technical reviewer across the department, with your opinion sought by colleagues.
 </li> </ul.
