Software Engineering at the Frontier of AI and Defence
This team is motivated by saving lives in war-affected regions and on the battlefield. They believe that by combining advanced technologies from different sectors they can fundamentally change the effectiveness of those we rely on to keep us safe. By providing better tools and systems that adapt to modern warfare they can help defend civilians and provide a deterrent to other aggressors.
Their current products use advanced optics and electronic sensors combined with computer vision systems and adaptive AI to detect and track UAVs (drones). This ruggedised system is modular allowing it to be used under a variety of conditions and takes advantage of recent AI breakthroughs to learn and adapt as the nature of warfare changes. They have previously used the same approach to develop technologies for active camouflage and cyberwarfare.
They are seeking graduate or junior software engineers to work across their product portfolio. There’s no specific set of skills, technologies, or languages they require, instead they seek versatile candidates with strong knowledge of at least one programming language. Areas you could be involved with include ML systems, signal processing, and software-defined radio. The platforms you work on will vary from the cloud down to small low-power electronics and anything in between.
