About Bornea

Bornea (UK) Limited develops advanced technologies for defence, aerospace, security, and space applications. Our work spans artificial intelligence, electronic warfare, autonomous systems, signal processing, sensing technologies, robotics, and embedded computing. We work with government, military, and commercial customers to develop innovative solutions from concept through deployment.

We are seeking a talented Machine Learning Engineer with a strong background in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to support the development of next-generation sensing, detection, classification, and autonomous decision-making systems.

The Role

The successful candidate will contribute to the design, development, testing, and deployment of machine learning algorithms for processing real-world sensor and communications data. Projects may involve RF spectrum monitoring, electronic warfare, radar, acoustic sensing, electro-optical systems, autonomous platforms, and edge AI applications.

You will work alongside multidisciplinary teams of engineers and scientists to develop algorithms that operate under challenging real-world conditions and on resource-constrained embedded platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement machine learning and signal processing algorithms for detection, classification, tracking, and anomaly detection.
Develop and evaluate AI/ML models using real-world and simulated sensor datasets.
Perform signal analysis in time, frequency, and time-frequency domains.
Develop DSP pipelines for RF, radar, communications, acoustic, and imaging systems.
Optimize algorithms for deployment on embedded and edge computing platforms.
Support data collection, dataset generation, labeling, validation, and performance assessment activities.
Conduct algorithm testing, verification, and validation activities.
Contribute to technical reports, project documentation, customer presentations, and proposal development.
Collaborate with software, electronics, RF, and systems engineers throughout the development lifecycle.

Essential Requirements
