AI Solutions Architect

We're building the UK's next generation engineering powerhouse, providing critical technology that strengthens national security and resilience. We specialise in turning advances in sensing, AI, and communications into operational capability for the edge, where connectivity may be degraded or denied. Our work focuses on accelerating the deployment of technology, improving decision-making for frontline teams, and protecting people and critical assets in demanding environments.

Headquartered in Bristol, Rowden employs around 200 people and operates over 20,000 square feet of engineering and manufacturing facilities. We have a growing international footprint and are one of Europe's fastest-growing engineering businesses. About the role We are looking for an AI Solutions Architect to join our growing AI capability, designed for a capable AI or ML engineer who wants to move beyond pure implementation and start thinking at a systems and solution level.

You will work alongside senior architects on live programmes and pre-sales engagements. You will get structured exposure to the full arc of solution architecture, from shaping problem statements and designing AI pipelines through to supporting bids and engaging with customers, with direct mentorship and increasing ownership over time. This is not a research role or a pure engineering role. It suits someone who is technically strong, curious about how AI systems fit into larger operational contexts, and ready to start thinking about how solutions are designed, communicated, and delivered, not just built.
