AI Engineer
Location: Bristol, Crawley, Cheadle or Glasgow Working pattern: Hybrid
Akkodis is looking for an experienced AI Engineer to join a growing centralised AI team within the defence sector, developing secure and responsible AI solutions for autonomous and safety-critical systems. Working within a multidisciplinary team of software engineers, data engineers, architects, domain experts and cyber-security specialists, you’ll take AI capabilities from initial concept through to production deployment.
The role
- Design, develop and evaluate AI and machine-learning models.
- Work across computer vision, deep learning, time-series analytics, NLP and autonomy.
- Build model-training and evaluation pipelines, including preprocessing, feature engineering and experiment tracking.
- Package and deploy models through secure APIs and production services.
- Define performance metrics, monitoring, feedback loops and drift-detection processes.
- Apply responsible-AI principles covering explainability, robustness, safety and bias.
- Support proof-of-concepts, customer demonstrations and technical workshops.
- Develop reusable AI frameworks, templates and reference implementations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
