Role Description
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project funded by Innovate UKI. The overall project addresses a critical challenge in the UK's Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) sector: delivering robust, cost-effective perception systems capable of safe operation in complex, real-world environments.

The project offers unique opportunities to work very closely with industry and other stakeholders on cutting-edge applied research.
