We are looking for a Research Engineer to develop, implement, and oversee techniques and systems in Trust Technology and related areas such as privacy, security and blockchain, which are important components of digital trust platforms. The role will focus on emerging technologies that engenders trust and espouse the values of fairness, safety, and privacy in digital technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• 
  

  Conduct research into trust technologies testing – translating algorithms, tools, and frameworks into working prototypes that can explain how research outputs can be productised into new capabilities.

  
  


• 
  

  Work closely with Centre’s researchers to design and develop system implementation work from research into the product.

  
  


• 
  

  Design and build working tools that can support the technology transfer of new capabilities to research partners and can be used to showcase the value of a given research outcome.

  
  


• 
  

  Write and maintain technical documentation, presentations, and papers on research into trust technologies testing, helping to educate and raise the overall competency in emerging areas of trust technologies.

  
  


•
