Description

We're looking for a Graduate Machine Learning Engineer to join our supportive, multidisciplinary team and contribute to the development and application of machine learning solutions for our clients and products. You will help explore, prototype, and implement AI/ML approaches to problems both within and outside our core product offering. Working at the forefront of AI and ML alongside experts in a range of disciplines, you'll help users defend against Defence & National Security threats and directly contribute to safer, more resilient systems in the real world. Mind Foundry works on some of the most complex and urgent challenges in Defence and National Security. We specialise in supporting customers across the community to make sense at the speed of relevance from the ever-increasing volumes of data collected by sensors and systems. We often find ourselves working at the edge in complex environments where power, compute, and bandwidth are in short supply. The work is challenging, the customer needs products and applications they can trust, and the sense of achievement is therefore substantial. This role provides an excellent opportunity to develop your technical skills, apply academic knowledge in a real-world commercial environment and gain exposure to client-facing work. This role can be office-based or hybrid, with you expected to work from our Summertown, Oxford office at least one day per week.

We believe in investing in our people by encouraging career and personal development that aligns with your goals and ambitions. We make sure all staff have the tools, time and support they need to shape their own professional development. We want to help you excel at what you do and support your growth within the company.
