You will help shape how devices are assessed and qualified for use in space, drawing on existing data, modelling, and targeted testing where appropriate. - This role suits a physicist or engineer with research experience and strong technical writing skills, who wants to move into applied space work.

You will work on real production problems rather than research-only work, owning models from first iteration through to live deployment.

You will collaborate closely with other data scientists, data engineers, and DevOps, with the freedom to shape how GenAI and ML are used across the platform.

You will design and deploy production-grade graph solutions that model relationships not only between UAVs, missions, and sensors, but across company processes end-to-end: from operations and production to HR and delivery. Your work will provide a transversal view of how data and processes interconnect, powering insights and decision-making across the organization.

You will work collaboratively with a range of technical specialists on a broad range of projects, lead and coordinate topic‐specific input to Environmental Impact Assessments and related deliverables, work closely with clients, develop new areas of business and mentor others in the team.

You will design and build the systems that identify the signals that matter most for visibility, the retrieval and embedding architecture that feeds the models, the ranking and scoring framework that prioritises actions and the evaluation layer that measures how different LLMs behave across queries, surfaces and contexts.

You will work on modernizing authentication and login experiences across multiple consumer applications, helping drive growth through high-quality user experience, experimentation, and data-driven decision making. This is a collaborative role, working closely with engineers, product managers, and cross-functional partners in a fast-paced environment.
