Jobs at Minerva Defence

Develop and maintain Python software, tooling, and automation for unmanned systems deployed in operational environments. Manage networked software updates, secure and diagnose Linux systems and connectivity, troubleshoot field issues under pressure, and support operators directly. Serve as the technical point of contact for customers and feed operational findings back to core engineering teams to improve product reliability.

Coordinate recruitment from vacancy opening through signed offer, including interview scheduling, candidate communication, offer paperwork, approval tracking, ATS maintenance, surveys, and process improvements. Support onboarding, HR systems, and London office operations. The role requires accurate handling of confidential data, recruitment technology experience, simple automation skills, and eligibility for UK SC clearance. It is based in central London at least three days per week.

Develop and ship user-facing features for software controlling and monitoring unmanned systems. Own features end to end, from frontline-user feedback and design through full-stack implementation, testing, field validation, and deployment. Work across Python backend systems, React and Electron frontends, UI/UX, and related areas to deliver reliable updates that improve operators’ effectiveness.

Build infrastructure and pipelines for machine learning models deployed across unmanned vehicle fleets. Responsibilities include dataset curation, secure operational data collection, annotation, synthetic data generation, training, evaluation, inference optimization, and edge deployment. The role requires Python, MLOps, backend development, large-dataset handling, and the ability to work across the full ML systems stack.

Develop, test, deploy, and own full-stack software features for frontline unmanned-systems operators. Work across backend Python, frontend, embedded systems, networking, machine learning, and DevOps. Translate customer feedback into reliable production updates, conduct field testing, and improve operational performance while expanding into unfamiliar technical areas as needed.

Develop and maintain C++ simulation software for UAVs and connected systems. Build scenario configuration, automated simulation runs, physical and sensor models, integrations, regression tests, and CI/CD workflows. Improve performance, reliability, and usability while validating models against flight data. Collaborate with aircraft, control-system, and operations engineers, and participate in field flight testing, mission rehearsal, networked simulation, and synthetic sensor development.
