Job Type: Permanent
Location: PL1, Plymouth, Devon

Job Description
Research Developer (Python & Control Systems) | MSc / PhD Level | Plymouth | £50,000 – £60,000
Smart code. Real-world impact. Deep tech R&D.
This is more than software dev — it’s applied research in action.
A cutting-edge software company in Plymouth is hiring a Research Developer to lead innovative projects at the intersection of Control Systems, Data Science, and Python-based development.
You’ll work on next-gen tech solving complex, real-world problems — across energy, automation, and decision systems.
What You’ll Be Doing:
*
Designing and developing intelligent algorithms in Python.
*
Applying control theory and data science to real-time systems.
*
Contributing to technical R&D across multiple funded innovation projects.
*
Translating academic models into scalable, maintainable code.
*
Working closely with engineers, data scientists, and research partners.
What You’ll Need:
*
MSc or PhD in Control Systems, Robotics, Data Science, Applied Maths, or similar.
*
Strong Python development skills — this is a coding-heavy role.
*
Solid understanding of applied mathematics, algorithms, and modelling.
*
Interest or experience in real-time systems, control loops, or signal processing.
*
Independent, research-driven mindset — with the ability to code ideas into life.
Nice to Have:
*
Experience in embedded systems, simulation, or AI/ML integration.
*
Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or lab-based prototyping.
Why This Role Stands Out:
*
£50,000 – £60,000 salary depending on experience.
*
R&D-focused role — research meets real-world application.
*
Join a collaborative, low-ego team doing cutting-edge technical work.
*
