Quick Apply
Our client based in Brentford is seeking a Senior Data Scientist (Spiking Neural Networks) to join their team.
MFK Recruitment has successfully recruited 2 individuals to the team in the past 18 months, both candidates are really enjoying their roles!
The Senior Data Scientist will work on-site/Hybrid in Brentford, you will be working on fascinating projects mainly for clients in the Defence sector.
My client delivers systems that can perceive and understand the world with the same semantic richness as the human brain and using the same neural mechanisms they believe are at work in the brain.
Their approaches are inspired by their recent advances in theoretical neuroscience, which are beginning to deliver an understanding of how the brain makes sense of the world.
My client requires a Senior Data Scientist with a passion for both technology and the development of practical usable applications to join a growing project team. The project team will work on the development of a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) Engine designed for practical engineering applications.
The successful applicant will have current experience working on the development of SNNs, with strong coding skills in C++ and knowledge of Cuda. Experience in Python and Pytorch would also be valuable. Postgraduate or post-doctoral experience in working on SNNs would be an advantage. Experience working on SNN development in a commercial setting would also be valued.
If you join our team, you will have the opportunity to interact with and contribute to work on the cutting edge of research through the development of key core component technologies required by the company. When you push out your code, you will be able to see the results of your efforts through your impact on product development and the enrichment of key customer relationships. You will contribute to the system design process and work towards the delivery of our collective business goals. Your code and your work will have a very direct, measurable impact on achieving those goals.
Senior Data Scientist – Spiking Neural Networks
Job responsibilities:
- Apply your existing knowledge of SNNs, machine vision and image analysis techniques to the development of a novel SNN engine based on our research outputs. You may also be asked to work on projects that make use of CNNs and Transformer networks.
- Enhance machine learning software with the latest in machine learning algorithms.
- Work with other team members tasked with the development of a system for automating the production of synthetic training images derived from digital 3D virtual reality models of objects.
- Contribute to the development of processes to curate real-world intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) imagery, and to present both ISR and synthetic images to networks during training and testing.
- Contribute to leading development and software engineering efforts to develop solutions to our most pressing problems and to put your work into practice.
- Contribute to the development of systems that will be core components of our machine vision, image analysis and other AI/ML products.
- Support the work of other data scientists and developers in the team.
- Work with research colleagues and offer technical support to colleagues in commercial roles in developing business opportunities. Work with research colleagues to understand the solutions you will need to code.
- Contribute to development and software engineering efforts as required on other projects yet to be defined.
