Why It Stands Out: This isn’t a generic software build. You’ll help deliver a real-time AI system supporting operational decision-making for Defence stakeholders. With direct impact, secure site exposure, and complex engineering challenges, this contract offers an unmatched opportunity for cleared engineers.
