Contract ML Engineers – R&D OR Edge Deployment (SC/DV Cleared) UK-Based | 6–12 Months | Outside IR35 | Competitive Day Rate

This is ML work at the point where research meets reality. You’ll be supporting programmes focused on autonomous and defence systems, working across either:

  • R&D / Neural Network Development
  • Improving model performance at architecture level
  • Working on advanced concepts (e.g. spiking neural networks)
  • Deep technical ML problem solving
  • Deployment / Integration
  • Running models on edge / constrained hardware
  • Optimising inference (TensorRT, compression, etc.)
  • Integrating into real-world systems

Across both, you’ll need:

  • Strong Python + deep learning experience (PyTorch / TensorFlow)
  • Proven experience either in advanced ML development OR deployment
  • Ability to deliver in complex, real-world environments
  • Must hold active SC or DV clearance

6–12 months (likely extensions as projects scale) UK-based

If you’re a cleared ML engineer and want to work on projects where performance and deployment actually matter - this is worth a conversation.
