AI and Secure Technologies Engineer

Cambridge, UK
UK travel and occasional international travel

Introduction

We’re looking for graduates who are excited by the opportunity to make emerging technologies secure, trustworthy and resilient. You’ll work on real-world engineering challenges across cyber security, artificial intelligence, embedded systems and connected technologies, supporting projects in areas including defence and security, industrial systems and critical national infrastructure.

You’ll need to be curious, willing to learn and comfortable exploring unfamiliar technical problems. In return, we’ll provide the support, mentoring and hands-on experience you need to develop into a confident, well-rounded security engineer working on innovative deep technology.

We’re much more interested in the engineer you can become than the one you are now. We’ll give you the time, support and opportunities to build your security engineering skills and develop the confidence to contribute to challenging client projects. Curiosity, a careful and structured approach to problem solving, and enthusiasm for technology are more important than having experience in every area of cyber security.

Overview

Cambridge Consultants develops deep technology across sensing, communications, embedded systems, artificial intelligence and complex systems. Our Trusted AI and Secure Technologies team helps clients understand, design and demonstrate security and trustworthiness in emerging and connected technologies.

You’ll work as part of multidisciplinary teams alongside engineers and specialists in electronics, firmware, software, RF, AI and data science, and systems engineering. Projects can span the full engineering lifecycle, from early-stage concepts and requirements through to implementation, verification, deployment and in-service support.

Our work includes cyber security, secure-by-design engineering, embedded and connected systems, industrial and critical infrastructure, defence and national security, edge AI, secure connectivity and post-quantum cryptography.

Your responsibilities

You’ll work on real client assignments with support and guidance from experienced engineers. You’ll have opportunities to contribute across different stages of the engineering lifecycle and work alongside specialists from across Cambridge Consultants.

You may contribute to projects at different stages of the engineering lifecycle, from early-stage concept development and requirements through to architecture, implementation, verification, deployment and in-service support.

You’ll also have opportunities to interact directly with clients, including requirements discussions, technical workshops, progress updates and delivery, with support from experienced engineers where appropriate.
