Senior Computer Vision Engineer - Deep Learning
Salary: £70,000 to £95,000
Location: West London
Working arrangement: Predominantly office and customer-site based, with some remote working available
Employment: Permanent, full-time. Contract opportunities may also be considered.
MFK Recruitment is recruiting a Senior Computer Vision Engineer for an innovative UK technology company working at the forefront of computer vision, perception and autonomy.
The company develops advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technology for defence, security and other demanding real-world environments. Its work combines machine vision, deep learning and neuroscience-inspired approaches to create AI systems that are accurate, robust and reliable.
MFK Recruitment has successfully recruited four Engineers to this company over the past five years, and all four are still with the business. This speaks volumes about the culture, technical challenges and long-term opportunities available.
Senior Computer Vision Engineer role
You will design, develop and deploy production-grade computer vision systems using modern deep learning techniques, with a particular focus on Convolutional Neural Networks and Vision Transformers.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone comfortable working across research, software development and real-world deployment. You will help translate recent AI research into reliable products used within demanding defence and security environments.
The position is predominantly office and customer-site based in West London, although some remote working will be available.
Senior Computer Vision Engineer responsibilities
- Design, develop and optimise computer vision models using CNNs, Vision Transformers and related deep learning architectures.
- Develop customised neural networks, training strategies, loss functions and evaluation metrics.
- Implement and adapt techniques from recent AI and computer vision research.
- Build scalable training, validation, evaluation and inference pipelines.
- Optimise models for accuracy, robustness, latency and deployment across cloud and edge platforms.
- Translate research outputs into maintainable, production-quality software.
- Collaborate with Software Engineers, Researchers, Technical Leaders and customers.
- Contribute to architecture decisions, testing and CI/CD practices.
- Support the deployment of computer vision systems into customer environments.
