Do you want to create the technologies that will define the future?
At Origami Labs we accelerate the development and adoption of advanced artificial intelligence and autonomous systems to solve some of the most challenging problems we face in the world. We believe in looking beyond the AI hype, identifying and inventing technology that can deliver user-centric and trustworthy capabilities.
Formed in 2022, we’re an SME with the freedom to follow our ideas and live our values. As a small team, everyone drives our direction, has a direct impact on what we create, and collaborates closely with our customers and partners.
Applications close on the 31st of July, either apply here or email us your CV and a covering letter outlining how you might fit into our team to get started. Early applications are encouraged as we may start interviewing before applications close.
More details can be found at our website, please search for Origami Labs Careers.
What do we do?
Do you find yourself asking "what if?", but not having the time to explore your ideas? We believe in open innovation, creativity, and rapid prototyping to test new concepts and see where they fail. The ideas that show promise can be truly game changing and challenge conventional thinking. At Origami Labs we unfold the unthinkable.
We’d love to be able to shout about the specific challenges we tackle but they’re often sensitive in nature. What we can say is that we punch well above our weight and work across diverse domains from next gen submarines to fighter aircraft, uncrewed systems to detecting AI-generated information. Most of our projects begin without us knowing the answer.
We collaborate closely with our customers and end users to deeply understand their problem and evaluate potential solutions in the real world. We often work with limited data, small edge compute devices, and challenging operational constraints. Our customers value our integrity and the pace at which we can bring our novel ideas to fruition.
Who are we looking for?
We firmly believe that it is diversity of skills and experience that drives our innovation and creativity. We are not after a fixed set of skills, we are instead looking for someone who shares our vision and passion for making an impact.
Are you passionate about new technology and driven to test out ideas? Are you comfortable with not knowing if/how a problem can be solved, but determined to find a viable approach? Do you have interesting perspectives on AI and the wider world that challenge convention? Are you self-motivated and able to manage your own time? Are you naturally collaborative? Can you communicate your ideas effectively?
If some of those apply then we’d love to hear from you!
Technical expertise is important, but we recognise that everyone is at a different stage of their journey and we work in a very broad field. We provide a supportive environment in which to learn new skills and keep up with the latest advances. We’re particularly interested if you have a background in Computer Vision (e.g. working with RGB, IR or HSI sensors), Multi-Objective Optimisation, or Data Science but we’re also keen to hear from candidates with experience in other branches of ML, AI, & autonomy.
We are primarily Python/Pytorch when it comes to software but we believe in using the right tools for the job. Transferable software skills and a willingness to learn are what we're really looking for.
We understand that every person works most effectively in different ways and has their own responsibilities and needs outside of work. Each member of our team has a flexible working pattern that works for them, whether that’s related to childcare responsibilities, part-time study or looking after a puppy. We can find a flexible working approach that works for all parties.
Note: The skills below are the type of skills we're looking for; you don't need all of them! Stoke-on-Trent is our registered address only; this is a fully remote job and can be delivered anywhere in the UK (with occasional in-person meetings at client sites or elsewhere).
