Algorithm Engineer

Enigma People Solutions is looking for an Algorithm Engineer who can bring their skills to bear on our client's next generation of combined software and sensor solution. Our client is a small dynamic team examining, then developing new product concepts to the point of prototype. This presents many opportunities to champion new ideas and see them through to market. As a result of the current success and imminent start of major new projects, we are looking to increase our client's R&D capability to continue developing novel features and cutting edge new products within the personal tracking segments.

Our client is a technology startup founded in 2005, the company started with a personal tracking solution with emergency support for the elderly, children, lone worker protection as well as those with dementia and Alzheimer's. In 2009 they entered the electronic offenders monitoring (EM) market with the launch of their tracker product family, which introduces a range of novel features and has received outstanding feedback from customers and community. Our client's EM technology is now the market leader and in service with multiple police forces and governments around the world, including Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
